Wednesday


************************

It's Recyclables Day!

Almost 45 degrees with a few clouds.




From WKTV: "On Wednesday we could make a run at 70! I think we may fall just short, but regardless it will be mild and nice, with a little less sunshine than today. We will cloud up in the afternoon and some showers could fall as early as the evening commute. A cold front will roll through tomorrow night, and tempertures will fall a good 10-15 degrees by Thursday."

Yesterday was GRAND! The DPW was out in full force with the Fire Hydrant Barrels being collected, the Bobcat picking up solid lumps of road sand and .............


............ the Sweeper making another pass through the village.



Roc has his tables out and, although I don't know whether or not the side service window is open, he wants everyone to know that he's got

SOFT SERVE!

(And - did you know? "Roc's II" will open
later this Spring
at the site of the former "Sweet Sensations"

on Route 12B near
Limberlost and Middle Settlement Roads?)

I hope that by tomorrow I'll be able to tell you about a

NEW STORE

that will soon be coming to Main Street!

They're going right to town on the Town Houses!


It was a big day along the Oriskany and Big Creek!




The Hatchery truck, followed by a convoy of SUV's and pickup trucks driven by boys of all ages, stopped at the Dugway in Clinton and then in Deansboro and .......


............ pulled up next to Big Creek just south of the sewage treatment facility.

Bob Mayne knew the very best spot and the technique that was going to be used to get the trout into the water, and some of the fellows were positioned on the creek bank.


Whereas there are times when a chute or series of tubes is used to launch the fish, this situation called for a fishnet ..................


........... passed, bucket-brigade style .........


............. down the bank ..........

(Click to enlarge. You can almost see them wiggling!)

........... to Helen Shedrack, who had the honor of setting the fish free.

Several scoop-fuls went downstream; others were headed upstream, toward Waterville. (Bob Mayne said they'd be reaching my back yard some time today!)

Just keeping track.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
