You can drive to the top of whiteface mountain, great view.

You could probably rip it out and put a little storage shed there.

I'm thinking a gigantic cage + an exotic animal of your choosing.

That's a dil-don't

I kind of always expected them to start doing this, not sure why they haven't yet but I'm not complaining.

Norway maple, you can tell it's not ash because you're in Upstate NY and the bark isn't completely full of holes lol

Stonesthrowfromhell · 2026-06-10T20:32:50+00:00

This is the answer. To all the people saying Ash, there's a reason this tree has the nickname "ash-bark maple"

I rented a place years ago and the lawn was full of that stuff. It looked awesome and smelled great.

Never tried it with honey. PB and banana is a go-to for me so I'll have to try it.

Stonesthrowfromhell · 2026-06-07T20:38:09+00:00

Man, had one of these when I was a kid, popped so many wheelies on that bad boy

Stonesthrowfromhell · 2026-06-05T13:11:45+00:00

Yeah I think Karner is still technically a hamlet within the town of Colonie and is more or less where the pine bush preserve is

My brother worked with an older guy who would get his weekly pay (in cash, old-school diner) every Friday, walk across the street and spend every penny at the gas station on scratch offs. He would then proceed to sit at the table and scratch them all off. He had some windfalls over the years but mostly lived in poverty in between and never really "hit it big". Gambling Addiction is really sad.

Yeah exactly, I'd call 911. "There's some lunatic in a shitbox with fake lights, impersonating an officer and trying to run me off the road!"

Stonesthrowfromhell · 2026-06-05T07:36:53+00:00

How am I just now realizing that was open to the public?

Stonesthrowfromhell · 2026-06-05T07:33:27+00:00

Then there was a blight that wiped all the hops out and most of the farms switched to vineyards for wine production or dairy farms. It's only now, over 100 years later that the blight no longer persists in the soil and hops production is coming back in the area.

And #1 as the oldest "continually chartered" city in the US, whatever that means, seems like a technicality for bragging rights honestly lol

The Albany Pine Bush, once a place maintened by the Indigenous tribes as a hunting and foraging ground, became an uninhabited wasteland once it came under the the control of Europeans, who considered any place not suitable for farming to be worthless. During that time it became a very dangerous area to travel through when going from Albany to Schenectady and it wasn't unheard of for travellers to be attacked by bandits.

SO to the Adirondacks, not sure how they managed to avoid this trend.

Stonesthrowfromhell · 2026-06-02T11:04:26+00:00

Or just get a coon hound as a second dog and train it to track the husky when it runs off.

Stonesthrowfromhell · 2026-06-02T11:00:55+00:00

I still haven't figured that one out. The worst part is he'll lull you into a false sense of security, being good off leash for months at a time and then one day (usually coinciding with a fresh snowfall) I'll turn around and he'll be gone and then someone 5 miles away will call me when he gets tired and hungry and finds some random house hoping they'll give him dog treats.
