CHIEF - I never had any doubt you would return virtually unscathed by those Yanks.  Congratulations on a job well done!

Hey Chief, with a few more such successful raids, perhaps we could get Pennsylvania to capitulate and join the confederacy?  I don't think their is any hope for Ohio though. 

Congratulations Chief and Commander!

before this gets too far flung and gets innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire, I just want to state that although I am living here in Hillbilly Hell, I was born and raised in New Jersey. Cool [8D]

Hmmm.... may have to get Maryland to join first... would be kinda odd having a state in the middle! Wink [;)]... of course the ACC is a bit confused - all their colleges are in ajoining states except that odd ball College in Boston...

Part of my plan is, "Do you want gritty grits, or a basket of Buckeyes?"  From extensive and exahutive experiments, we have found that Sutherners love Buckeyes. It is like putting a jar of honey in front of LAZ's bear.   Big Smile [:D]  If the Harrisburg crew had put these on the table, and given the choice, the Roseyville Rascal would have had to take all his grits home.  

And it that doesn't do it, we bring in General Orville from Brazil, Indiana.

I lived in New Jersey for 10 years and worked in the "beautiful "East Ward of Newark for 6 years. Later worked in Manhattan and commuted on the 1918 Lackawanna Electrics from Morris Plains to Hoboken.[fully understand why you left for Hillbilly Hell Frank].

Although my Mom was from Ohio where grits, cornbread and snow were plentiful [ and was the birthplace of that great railroad wrecker General Sherman], I noticed that her 11 brothers and sisters did not tarry long before also moving to General Lee territory.

BTW, who picked up the check for this fiasco?  The Chief did buy everyone's lunch, didn't he?  I mean you are all potential customers for his on-board battery charger.   If he didn't, we can just call his company and complain.    I

Dewey and Frank, I too was raised in NJ.  When I got all growed up and could make up my own mind, I moved South.  Don't miss the traffic, and ya just have to love these southern belles.  Loved 'em so much, I married one.  Before long, I think the rest of the family will be moving here to the promiss land.

Buckeye, not sure why they take a product of the South, dip it in chocolate and call it such a thing.  I live right in the middle of Peanut country (jimmy carter is less than 45 minutes north of me), and this is where peanut butter is king.  Shoot, with all the biscuts and gravey, bacon, peanut butter, deep fried everything, my job is secure for a long time.

Y'all have  a good one.

I find it interesting that the Chief has been to PA and Ohio but he has never been up here in Western NY.  I believe he knows that grits cannot compete with chicken wings, battered fishfrys and beef on weck with horseradish.  I know that Buckeye knows all about these delicasies because he spends so much time here.   You know Chief, we could put together quite a feast for you...you might even forget all about grits for at least one meal!  Maybe we could even get you out on Buckeye's boat for a little fishing.

The Reps at Bass Pro and Cabela's from Maryland say they are NOT Yanks.  They are Southerners.  HUMMMMM

Tom S., been up that way a many of a time [I 81] going up to Canada and crossing the Thousand Island Bridge.

Tom, you forgot the WALLEYE.  Mmmmmmm, good!!!  For those of you who have never tasted Western NY Chicken Wings, they are the best.  I missed sitting at the bar in Bemus on a snowy winter evening eating beer and wings with Tom while talking trains.

You're right Buckeye, I did forget about the Walleye. And when you do come back here to the lake we can get some of those chicken wings.

Chief, I-81 is is about 3 hours east of here. Western NY hospitality is great and we'd love to see you in our part of the state.

Walleye are great eatin'!  I also like Northern Pike pan seered in a cast iron skillet with some honey butter!  MMMMMMMMMM... for a good fight you can't beat a Large Mouth or Muskey, but the longest fight I've ever witnessed was in 1991 when fishing with some friends off Rockport, TX.  It was getting around 3pm and time to head home (we hit a school of sea trout? around noon and had around 8 or so in the live well), when the one guy got a hit... think it was around 9pm when he finally boated the 32 inch red fish!  Talk about fine dining!  We were too tired to even think of bars and pool that night!  LOL!  Can't beat frying fish, drinking beer, and playing poker with the fellas!

Lots of found memories with that crew... too bad the Army broke up the fun...

PERCH is great (walleye family) done up in crushed up Ritz crackers and beer batter, deep fried and downed with afew 12ozers.  Always done this on the shores of the St. Lawerence River the Canadian side up at Summerstown, Ont. about 1 hr SW of Montreal.  We even took the train to Montreal and saw a baseball game.  Had the milk run on the way back.
