Lammycat Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 We were baked and canoeing on the Lamprey River in New Market, NH around 1987/88 and an enormous swan attacked us (apparently we were approaching its egg nest on a band on a bend of the river). That monster-thing was furious and relentless and the wing-span must've been 80-90 ft.(or so it seemed) and we capsized trying to fend it off with our oars. Thanks for the memories, NoJ!

caliber66 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 An Osprey flew over me and the pup as we did our lunchtime walk (this time in the rain).Birds can't fly in the rain, stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you make it all the way to the Atlantic? Looks like a great area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Did you make it all the way to the Atlantic? Looks like a great area.No. We were pretty messed up from the bird. I have canoed the CT River from VT/NH-> CT, but not as far as the ATL Ocean.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chez Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Going to the White Sox home opener. Hoping for a win and to avoid frostbite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 As someone who willingly goes on frozen lakes and fishes for hours thru little holes drilled thru the ice and enjoys doing so, I find the prospect of sitting in a ball park in springtime freezing my toes off to be an event much avoided. How much snow did Comiskey get today? Go Sox! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Today, I'm thinking about the estate sale I went to last weekend. It was at the home of the owner of Crows Nest, a local record store chain that closed doors 10 years ago. Holy moses, it was a treasure trove of rock n roll stuff and it was mobbed by rock n roll freaks. I picked up no life size cutouts of bon jovi and tina turner, nor did I buy gigantic posters of pink Floyd's momentary lapse of reason. I did get some cool Rhino CD samplers and Weezer's Christmas CD from 2000 (mint condition). Any Weezer freaks interested in that CD? PM me, lets chat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Also, I just found out that the owner of Crows Nest patented the "dugout" back in 1980. That Weezer CD is just dying to find a new home....make me an offer, Weezer freaks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hhmmmm, that's weird because that's what they're called. Anyways, me and the pup saw an American Kestrel this morning at the prairie. Fast little birds when they want to be. Pretty cool watching it hover in place too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
