Fishing at Burt Dam

Fishing below Burt Dam in Eighteen mile creek has been very good this month. This is one of many Salmon I caught this month, most of the salmon I released but this one is going to the grill!

Hey Mom were all out of Hot Water!!

When you have your wife and 2 daughters using one shower , hot water is going to be in short supply. If you would like to have endless unlimited hot water then you have to take a lok at the Rinnai R94 - 199,000 BTU continuous water heater. With this unit you can have 2 showers running at the same time and unlimited hot water. You may pay more for the installation, but it is worth every penny. I higly recommend this for large families, it will make co-existing together a heck of a lot better. Available at HectorsHardware.com

Do You want to Get that All over Warm feeling this season?

I was skeptical when I first saw the Comfort-Zone Heater, sure it was a nice looking heater, with a rich woodtone finish but who is going to pay $479.00 for a room heater?

I decided not to purchase any for my retail establishment, I have always recommended either ceramic heaters or gas space heaters for adding heat to cold rooms, and they cost considerably less.

After a local New Station aired a special on the Comfort-Zone Heater , I was innundated with calls and enquirres on the heater. I called the sales rep back in for a new presentation and decided to order a dozen units. Even before the units arrived in stock they were sold. One of my employees purchased one for his family room, and he is very happy with the results. He said that he always had cold hands even if he set the thermostat up to 75 degrees, now with the Comfort-Zone he sets his thermostat back to 62 degrees and with the Comfort-Zone set at 72 the family room is toasty. He does not feel cold at all.

Yard Sale Finds can become Treasures

It's the thrill of the hunt: to take discarded items from yard sales or flea markets and recreate them as one-of-a-kind accent pieces. Often all it takes is a bit of paint and a discerning eye to transform trash into treasure.

# what you'll needTSP+
# sandpaper
# alkyd primer
# black gloss paint
# gold craft paint
# instant stencils or stencil motif

1. Wash table with TSP+, prime and paint.

2. Stencil on desired motif. (In the picture, an instant stencil was rubbed onto the surface to create the decorative detail.)

Yeh, it's Snowing!

We keep getting more snow, so let's take advantage of the good weather and go Sledding!
Well you can't go to Chesnut Ridge Park,
The pinheads that run county governmnet have closed all county Parks, and technically you may be fined. The county parks will be closed probably until the end of this year, so where can you go for Free sleding?

One Suggestion:
In the Town of Locport on Route 31, just past the hospital, there is a city park, that has a great hill, its a little crazy and wild, but loads of fun.I'm sure there are plenty more places, if you have any suggestions, please comment.

If you need a Flexible Flyer, check out the sleds and tabogans at HectorsHardware.com

Once you have the Trout....either from the stream or from the fish Store....

Stuffed Trout with Lemon and Pink Peppercorns

Lemon bits add refreshing acidity to complement the rich trout flesh, while tiny pink peppercorns add an intriguing burst of flavor.
1 lemon
3 slices bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper

4 whole trout, cleaned and boned from belly side
Olive oil spray
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper


Peel lemon; discard rind. Dice pulp into small pieces. In a small bowl, combine lemon pieces, bacon, parsley, peppercorns, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Spoon one fourth of the bacon mixture into each boned trout. Close belly cavity over stuffing; tie each trout closed with 3 to 4 lengths of kitchen string. Spray trout on both sides with oil; season with salt and pepper.

Place trout on center of cooking grate and grill 12 to 14 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time, until fish flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Makes 4 servings.

Black Bear in Western New York

Black Bear have been returning to Allegany State Park, in western New York. Bears can be spotted from Mother's Day to Thanksgiving. The Bears frequent the cabin areas and love to climb in the dumpsters to get at the garbage. It is not uncommon to see dupsters tipped over and garbage bags all over from the bears antics at night. You know Yogi has to have his "Picinic Basket". In the summer of 2004 we spotted 6 different bears and one mother with 2 cubs. I was not able to get a picture of the cubs, the mother is very protective and kept them well hidden.

Of course Allegany has alot more to offer, there are many hiking trails, great fishing streams and lakes,( if you forget your pole , they will rent you one , and they sell bait),swiming with diving platforms and lifeguards ,canoeing and peddle boats, numerous camping sites and cabins to rent. It's a great place to get away from it all!

Set up your tent camper, or trailer, or Tent and get back to Mother Nature.ahhhhh


Play some Catch...



Get some firewood for the big bonfire tonight....


Play in a creek....



Whatever you decide to do, its a wonderful place to do it..Go to Allegany and Have Fun!!

Is Global Warming New?

Global Warming theory states that due to rising CO2 levels in our atmosphere, the earth’s temperature is also rising. Over a documented period of time the earths overall temperature has risen 1 degrees since 1830. Recently satellite imaging documented over 16 years shows a 5.5 % reduction in global ice cover over the arctic.We are also losing glaciers due to the deforistation of the rain forest. Can we blame glacier reduction on rising CO2 levels alone?
Answer is obviously NO. Scientists can't even agree on this.

Scientist that study our earth predict:
1. Global Warming will cause an increase in droughts, hurricanes and flooding.Yet we have had more hurricans in previous years prior to industrialization.Hurricanes droughts and floods are also a much needed weather phenominon. They move the cold air and warm air around our earth.
2. Some Birds and Animals will become extinct in the near future.Animals, Birds, and Insects have been becoming extinct for generations, remember the dinosours?
3. An Overall increase in temperature worldwide. A 1 degree increase in 100 years....have there been other 100 year periods where temperatures have dropped or increased?



Are Scientists using a scare tactic?

Are there other reasons for this new data?


If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
