very excited to be venturing back home to the upstates this weekend - major agenda items are as follows: a garbage plate at Nick's followed by some Abbott's ice cream, night out at the Rochester Jazz Fest for the Allman Project, lake day on Honeoye with the extended fam, and a round of golf with my old man for father's day.. all activities will obviously include lots of Genny Cream and/or Utica Club.

^^Nice agenda - only thing missing is a Wahlburger.
I'll be back to the 716 in July - looking forward to some BBQ chicken and beef on weck.

Tom Wahl's iced mug of root beer is winning. If you find yourself near Seabreeze, be sure to duck into Marge's for drink on the sand.

Damn, now I want a root beer in a frosty mug. That sounds like summer from when I was a kid.

That begs another question about Upstate geography that I've been contemplating. What was the border line between the Bay Rats and the rest of the town? Grew up on Durand Drive so definitely not a Bay Rat.

Interesting angle. I never thought of Bay Rats as from a specific location per se, more they were heavy users of the bay itself. I used to water ski with the club down there and lots of those old timers were Bay Rats. Many of them lived on the Webster side so that could be home base, but now we're talking about a longitudinal border which is a whole other can of worms.

Did a quick but productive trip back to the motherland last week.
Needed a snack to start.
Purpose was a bachelor party in North River- rented a cool old camp up near Garnet Hill with some degen chums from my days at SUNY Potsdam. Had bumper pool and an analog land line, not a single level floor in the place. Great spot.
Paddled the Hudson river gorge one day. I'm genuinely surprised that fishing out of a raft isn't really a big thing on that stretch yet. Saw PMDs and BWOs hatching in mid-morning sunshine while caddis were laying eggs in the film. I'm coming back in Sept for the wedding, looking to track down 12'ish self bailing raft with a rowing frame to rent- please PM me if you have any ideas.
Needed another snack after that.
Ended the trip outside Bangor, ME for a work meeting. Not Upstates per say, but if I somebody just dropped me off there I could be fooled.

This guy would like to apply for Upstate citizenship: https://www.wcax.com/2022/06/15/poli...r-stop-arrest/

I can't speak for all of upstate but if its up to me, this application will be rejected. A real upstater would have hit something with that excavator's bucket, not just threatened to. Frankly if you get your hands on that kind of machinery in the midst of a domestic dispute, you should at least drive it over a patrol car, if not through the front wall of your neighbor's living room. Plus, it didn't even mention what the dude's BAC was. If you haven't drunk enough for it to be mentioned in the writeup, are you even trying really? Where's the pride?
Also, I could really go for a chili dog right now.

That camp looks absolutely perfect.
Right? Slackers these days. Wasn’t there a dude last couple years that took an excavator and tore down his whole damned house and a old Chevy Suburban in a fit of domestic rage?
That’s how you get it done with the big tools.I still call it The Jake.

I did spend many a night in the park with a lady. Watching the submarine races out on the lake and checking on the animals in the zoo. Never saw the White Lady but I knew where she lived.

yep, tug hill rocks…
“Average seasonal snowfall totals for areas impacted by lake-effect snow in New York (in inches).[15] The Tug Hill region, in the northeastern section of the map, receives the greatest average snowfall totals within New York State.
The Tug Hill region is renowned for its bountiful snowfall. The region's topography and location in relation to Lake Ontario often creates ideal conditions for lake-effect snow; snowfall totals for the Tug Hill region average more than 200 inches (16.7 ft; 5.1 m) per winter.[5] Tug Hill snowfalls have been described as being among "the most intense storms in the world" in terms of the amount of snow falling during a short period of time.[16] Snow depths commonly reach five feet (1.5 m) or more, and deeper amounts are routine.”
facts.
