Hello from Western New York

[duane4238]

Thanks to all for allowing me to join the forum. I'm a young 71 year old retired school teacher who absolutely enjoys the outdoors after spending 35 years in a classroom. My chainsaw interest began years ago when I bought my hunting camp. I have 50 acres in Wyoming County in N.Y.S. I'm always cutting up fallen trees for the firewood, or to just get them off the trails. My saws are an ms192t, ms250, ms270, and the newest addition is an ms260. It has good compression, runs great, and best of all I got it for $100.

I had friends who lived on Jennings Rd near Yocum Rd. They had a big dairy farm. They picked up years ago and moved to Georgia and I lost touch with them. That's a beautiful area out there, too.

A lot has melted but today they issued a blizzard warning for a 4 county area starting tomorrow morning. We'll be staying in for the next few days. They said there will be a driving ban in place so no sense in clearing the driveway if I can't go anywhere. Have to stay safe.

Since retiring 16 years ago, I don't worry about grammar and punctuation, and I rarely correct anyone else, anymore. LOL

I know right where that is, lots of dairy farms still around but many disappearing. Lots of people moving South too, which I would have done if not for family.

Yep I'm in Hamburg we're supposed to get a " bomb blizzard" starting Friday night. City of Buffalo to get 6 feet 50-60 mph winds forcing all the water from Lake Erie into the city.

Too many New Dorkers from "da cities" running things there. Otherwise good place and people.

Stock up the cordwood food and beer. A few kerosene lamps too.

Got that and a good woman (one who don't drive you nuts) and you'll be fine.

Welcome from the southern tier. I'm based in the Bath area. It's been rain here since yesterday. Going to be a skating rink when it finally changes back to snow tonight.

 

[Bango Skank]

It’s ugly here right now, about 2 miles from the stadium. Wind blowing and drifting the snow. I’ve heard 72mph wind. Hopefully my old silver maple makes it through, I rather like that one. Comfy in here though. About time to put away the coffee cup and bring out the rocks glass.

Here’s a neat pic of a tow truck, a disabled vehicle, a NYS Trooper in SUV, a Fire Chief in another SUV, a Fire and Rescue pumper truck, and a town snow plow truck. Visibility isn’t so great out there.
