Discussion Forum Index --> Tax Questions --> 08-09 Weather, Farming or Fishing Tips
| 23 August 2008 | |
| Can anyone tell me what weather to expect over the next 6 months, what I can plant, and where I should be fishing? | |
| August 23, 2008 | |
| And how does this relate to taxes, Mr. Crow?
| |

| Well, it's an Almanac, and I think it's about time someone cough up some tips, at least about the weather, or phases of the moon. If they don't start doing this, they will probablly lose their tax exemption, as they are doing this for the good of the community. We don't even have any recipes, or advertisments for arthritis medicine.
P.S. Natalie: I think the fish usually bite the best at the moon's greatest pull i.e. at high tide, so that if you know the time of high tide, it would let you know even the best time for the inland fishing there in HI as well. The reason this is so is that at the moon's maximum gravitational exertion, it stirs up the food stuff in the water. See if your mom agrees. I tried to test out my theory, but almost got eaten alive by man eating piranhas on the Big Island. I think it was my colonge, because the tide was nowhere in site. | |

| It's also the best time to go out at the high tide if you want to meet a lady friend. I calculate it for Savannah, and then extrapolate it using my longitudes and latitudes to where I am.
You can walk in a place, (you know, not a pick-up bar, but more of a relationship bar). Ok? If you walk in two hours before high tide, you're chopped liver. Nada. Nothing will happen. But walk in at high tide, and you're another John Cameron Swayze or Mickie Roonie, or (for you youngsters) Ryan Seacrest (a real brainy type). The high tide make's people's heart throb, blood boil, ears steam, and also increases nesting behavior and hunting and gathering actions. So, keep that in mind. | |

| I was going to answer your question, Crow, but I got stuck on another TA page....my cursor kept passing over this map of the US, with something about graduation written alongside of it....then the damned thing expanded to took over the screen....I moved the cursor and it shrank but in trying to get to the top of the page to change the screen, I hit it again. I figured it must be a message from you, so I control-alt-deleted, rebooted and googled Tide Tables and found I could tell high and low tides anywhere. Weather: I take the long view. The sun will rise every day for the next six months, and it should set too....if not, we are in a peck of trouble. Hope I have been a help. | |

| Must be my lucky day!!!
So for you weather geeks ummm scientists....know anything about Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather stations? Trying to find a weather station as a gift but too many options... Then I can tell you ALL about the weather....or NOT...hehehehe | |

| Crow, I disagree with you about no recipes....
Tom graciously shared his garlic bread recipe with me/us six or so months ago in the chat forum. It's wonderful (but NOT low in calories or fat) and I plan on serving it for my first Monday Night Football get-together. Anyone have any input on who I should pick to win the Super Bowl, as we do a pool for the season. And yes, OF COURSE, I report my winnings & losses <W>. Should we ask Tim to set up a 'recipe and weather' discussion forum? Sandy, I like the Polish weather station (Please, no offense intended to anyone)....the one with a stick & string. String blowing = windy, stick wet = raining, stick covered = snow. | |

| We have a slab of slate with those forecasts on it:
Can't See Slate - Foggy Slate Jumping Up and Down - Earthquake Slate Gone - Tornado | |

| The heck with PC The Polish one probably cost nothing. Pam paid $30 for this at her Holiday Bazaar two years ago. | |
| August 25, 2008 | |
| But you need an engineer to set up the Polish one <w>. Bet you just prop yours up somewhere. | |
| August 25, 2008 | |
| Actually, I think you need both the stick and slate since together they cover more types of weather. | |
| August 25, 2008 | |
| Being a southern girl, born & bred, I'm well aware of tornado weather. There are those in CA who claim there's such a thing as earthquake weather. Makes one think that predicting an earthquake would be a bit easier then. | |
Death&Taxes (talk|edits) said: | 25 August 2008 |
| If the slate is white on top, it is snowing. If you can see its shadow, it must be sunny. Pretty smart slate. | |
| August 25, 2008 | |
| Well, I like that slate more and more D&T. Maybe I should get one.
Belle, there may be people out here who would also say there is earthquake weather. Far be it from me to argue with them -- I never took a meteorology class. | |
| 25 August 2008 | |
| There will be an earthquake this year in the lower 48, probably a big one: Oct 17, '08 or Jan 17 '09, or thereabouts. There was a Californian fellow that came here once, he was a trust fund baby, and his daughter was a trust fund grandbaby, and I tried to tell him, but I don't think he listened. | |
| August 26, 2008 | |
| I'm almost afraid to admit this, but for the sake of making a few people laugh and laugh, I will . . . Almanac it just dawned on me! | |
| 26 August 2008 | |
| Natalie, not all earthquakes are caused by meteors. No need to take a meteorology class to know that. | |
| 26 August 2008 | |
| proof in the (shaky) pudding but not as shaky as jello that jiggles | |

| Crow, around here alot of people plant that green leafy plant, some call the "cash crop", it is always in the news. Must be poplar because the local authorities can now afford helicopters. There has also been alot of copper mining, it seems to be all open pit, because the copper comes in long copper strands. Local farmers do not think much of it because they are losing thousands while the miners are only making a hundred.
Carp and grinnel are aways catchable, but you did say fishing, and not eating. | |
| August 26, 2008 | |
| Kevin, I hadn't even considered meteors. Some would say the big one is on it's way, so maybe we should all pick up slates. | |
| 26 August 2008 | |
| I only grow hemp to make rope with myself. You can't get a better rope than a hemp rope. But, when I put the seeds out, I plant it when the moon starts on it's rising cycle. Beginning of the first quarter on the astrological method, I believe. | |
| August 26, 2008 | |
| He gotcha, Natalie...gotta watch that Crow dude.
And that leafy crop...it's been causing problems here out west, with all the wildfires. Seems some of the 'farmers' are well armed & like to defend their crops against fire suppression. 'Course if the crop goes up in smoke, and the firefighters are downwind.... | |
| August 26, 2008 | |
| Yup, Crow's on top of things. That's why I wanted him to run for President. Now I see, however, he's just way too busy reporting on the convention. | |
| August 26, 2008 | |
| And just how would that slate predict a meteor? I guess it would it be shady? | |
| 27 August 2008 | |
| Oh, come on, Kevin, give a guy a break. I had to go to the dentist this morning and the numbness was just wearing off. | |
Death&Taxes (talk|edits) said: | 27 August 2008 |
| btw, I thought the leafy product down south was kudzu. | |
| August 27, 2008 | |
| Okie, what does the dentist have to do with the weather? I think I missed something again. | |
| 27 August 2008 | |
| The numbness was just wearing off when he 'got' my reference to his other discussion using the term 'decimate' to describe a slate predicting a meteor. | |
| 27 August 2008 | |
| did you 'get' my joke about 'meteors' and not taking a 'meteorology' class? | |
| August 27, 2008 | |
| Thank you for checking, Kevin. Yes, actually I did get that one (after I checked to make sure I spelled the word correctly!) | |
