I'll leave Florida to my more sedentary friends... there is nothing there for me. I love living here in NY! I'm close to the Adirondacks... Fishing, Hiking, Snowshoeing, CC skiing, only a little over an hour from Gore Mt skiing. Riding sleds in the winter and jet skis, rollerblading and sailing in the summer.
Florida would be a prison sentence for me.
Of course I have no idea how old you are... I would guess.... and it's only a guess... 63, but I have no real reason to choose that age... since I don't know you... you could be any age.

The failed gun boycott may have a longer lasting effect on those who participate in the boycott...
Yet in it's infancy, many large institutions are beginning to divest themselves of Gun Runners. Bank of America for one, recently told American Spirit Arms that they should not be selling weapons online... and threatened to pull their investments from all GunRunners who do sell online.
News network MSNBC put out a tweet yesterday urging its viewers to financially boycott gun manufacturers, in another example of how gun control is being advanced under the radar.
Earlier this week in New York City, mayoral candidate Bill De Blasio began a similar campaign by pressuring investment firms to retract funding from gun companies.

“Do you know where your $$ is? Maybe it’s invested in the #gun business. Use your wallet to support #gunlimits,” the network tweeted, adding a link to a story about NYC mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio pressuring investment firms to remove funding from gun companies.
Henry's GunHugger Boycott may end up costing these 'rip off ' gun runners more than they anticipated... it may cost them their entire business!!!

LMAO that's like telling FOX news viewers to boycott PlannedParenthood, it isn't going to make a difference. Gun sales are through the roof all over America, a boycott from the left should be fun to watch.

Read my post again... It isn't gun sales they are going to use to bring down the GunRunners... it's a financial boycott... with drawing or with holding funds from investments in GunRunner businesses.
Financial Boycotts... not Gun Boycotts.

Bank Fee Backlash Cost Big Financial Institutions More Than 2 Million Customers By Bruce Watson
Bank feesNobody likes to leave their bank. Apart from the hassle of setting up a new account, switching your direct deposit, re-entering all of your automatic bill payment information, and getting used to a new network of ATMs, there's the fact that banks are supposed to be our partners.
The emotional roller coaster aside, thousands of people switch banks every day, for a host of reasons: better interest rates, easier access to their money, or because they're leaving one town and moving to another. Last fall, however, an estimated 610,000 people dumped their significant bankers for a very specific reason -- to protest steep bank fees.
According to a recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research, 11% of the 5.6 million people who switched banks over the last three months did so as part of "Bank Transfer Day," an event inspired by Bank of America's (BAC) decision to begin charging its customers $5 per month to use their debit cards for purchases. BofA ended up scrapping the plan, but it, and many other banks, added a variety of other fees. In fact, as a 2011 Pew study showed, the average bank account has 49 fees, many of which -- like the confusing "'Staff Assisted Requests for Any Item or Statement Copy' fee, the 'Foreign Check Clearing Services for up to US $5,000 Drawn from Canadian Banks' fee, the 'Online External Transfer to Your Accounts at Other Financial Institutions' fee and the 'Large Amount of Coins Deposited' fee" -- charge for services that used to be free.
(Full disclosure: The author recently discovered a new $25 monthly fee that his bank is now charging him because his balance is below $15,000. This fee was added late in 2011, and was not part of the original banking agreement. The author is currently trying to get his money back, is exploring other banking options, and is attempting to remain unbiased in his discussion of the greedy, soul-sucking clever, fee-adding folk who run many of America's largest financial institutions.)
On the one hand, Bank Transfer Day was hardly the overwhelming consumer uprising that big banks might have feared and activists had hoped for. More than 218 million Americans have some form of bank account, so in the grand scheme of things, the transfer tidal wave of 610,000 was more like a trickle. Even so, many banks -- including Citigroup (C) and Bank of America -- managed to give themselves PR black eyes as they called in security guards and police officers to keep protesters from withdrawing their money. Predictably, videos of these skirmishes found their way online, vignettes that are eerily reminiscent of the bank run scene from Mary Poppins.
But while the number of customers who were able to move their money on Bank Transfer Day itself was relatively small, many others have joined them over the following months. As Javelin reports, a further 26% of people who switched banks during the last 90 days -- about 1,456,000 customers -- also cited new bank fees as the reason for their moves.
This pattern of a slow diaspora from big banks dovetails with the demographic data that Javelin collected. Judging by the videos of Bank Transfer Day skirmishes, one might assume that the bank exodus of 2011 was largely composed of wild-eyed radicals -- or, as one Javelin researcher reported, "young, low-income hipsters." Not so: According to Javelin, people who switched banks "trended toward higher incomes." As these higher-wealth, generally older consumers continue to consider their banking options, it seems likely that America's largest banks are going to continue hemorrhaging customers. http://www.dailyfinance.com/20.....ions-more-than-2-mi/
ILION (AP) — A group of New York state lawmakers says they've been told by Remington Arms that the company plans to spend $20 million upgrading its gun manufacturing plant in the Mohawk Valley.

Did NYS give them a pile of money to entice them to stay??
Much better than that.

Remington's NY plant gets $80M Pentagon contract
Associated Press
ILION, N.Y. — Remington Arms has been awarded a nearly $80 million contract from the Pentagon to produce sniper rifles at the company's Mohawk Valley plant, an upstate New York congressman said Friday.
U.S. Rep. Richard Hanna, whose 22nd Congressional District includes the plant in Ilion in Herkimer County, said the contract calls for Remington to make more than 5,000 sniper rifles and millions of rounds over 10 years for the U.S. Special Operations Command.
Hanna, a Republican, called Remington "the premier manufacturer" of sniper rifles for the American military. Under the contract, the company will produce the Remington Modular Sniper Rifle, or MSR, which has a range of up to 1,500 meters, or just under a mile.
The contract announcement came two days after a group of state lawmakers met with Remington officials who told the legislators that the company plans to spend $20 million upgrading its gun manufacturing plant in Ilion.
Local media outlets report that three senators and three Assembly members met with Remington officials on Wednesday to discuss what they could do to ensure the company keeps its plant in Ilion, where the company employs about 1,200 people. Concerns were raised about the company's future in Ilion after the Legislature passed a law banning the sale of military-style rifles, including the Bushmaster product made at the plant.
Since the law was passed in mid-January, other states have shown interest in having Remington relocate the plant.
Remington officials haven't commented on the upgrade plans.
Remington has been a part of Ilion since 1816, when Eliphalet Remington crafted a flintlock rifle on his father's forge. In addition to producing firearms and ammunition for the military and law enforcement, the Madison, N.C.-based company also makes weapons for hunting and shooting sports.
5,000 snipers and millions of rounds. They are planning on sniping millions.
