NO NO NO My signature is a joke. I really would miss her and she really does love the lake as much as I do.

OOOH got to watch out for those two words.I do could really get me in trouble!

Since Weirs Guy asked I grabbed a frame from todays webcam and added an arrow to point out what I think people are talking about. Then I got curious myself so I borrowed some time on the company's Cray and through some very advanced and, dare I say it, hush hush image enhancement techniques I was able to just, and I say maybe, make out what the object is. I think it's a sign that blew in. Look for yourself and see what you think.

Hilarious, M-n-M!!

Think she'll take the hint and open soon?

Weirs guy · 02-24-2006, 04:39 PM

Boy, I hope she takes the hint, I could go for some Waldo Peppers tonight! Funny how that sign ended up just off the end of the pier by the restaurant, great advertising spot?

upthesaukee · 02-24-2006, 05:45 PM

Mac, we've been saying to you" it's not too late to back out", but maybe we should be saying that to Mee... You are one sick puppy...but verrrrrrrrrrrrrry funny

Grant · 02-24-2006, 05:58 PM

Personally, I think it's a rock bass.

RLW · 02-24-2006, 10:00 PM

Could it possibly be a piece of ice that broke loose after the dog was on it?

Keith · 02-24-2006, 11:02 PM

Im gonna vote for a misplaced real-estate sign- or some kind of sign of similar size.

Maybe a danger- thin ice sign.

wildwoodfam · 02-24-2006, 11:53 PM

Sorry I ever brought this up....

GWC... · 02-25-2006, 12:13 AM

When the cat's away (on a cruise)

The mice will play...

The dirty rats!

Anyone remember James Cagney, you dirty rats... ?

wildwoodfam · 02-28-2006, 10:50 PM

Anything to get people in the water sooner than later!

Steveo · 03-14-2006, 10:38 AM

Check out the turkeys in the "FrontLawn Cam"

Weirs guy · 03-14-2006, 07:22 PM

Here dinner dinner dinner. Here dinner....

Pepper · 03-15-2006, 12:44 AM

Gee whiz! When I returned from the cruise, I apparently missed a lot of posts that occured during my absence! Tonight I just stumbled upon this one, and enjoyed a really loud laugh!

Mee-n-mac you are, without question, the silliest person I know!

I like that in a person! Thanks for the great bellylaughs - I needed that tonight.

Spent the morning with the Water Works fellows - getting our valve defrosted and opened - then the next few hours repairing the "weak spots" which were quickly found by the amazing water pressure in the Weirs.

Then about 8 more hours of scrubbing and painting - interrupted a few times by folks who dropped in to say howdy, and one phone call - poor guy wanted to place a take-out order.

Progress is definately under way! Thanks for all the encouragement Mac, and Lexxi and Weirs Guy!

See you all really really really soon!

Merrymeeting · 03-27-2006, 09:35 AM

Anybody attending the ForumFest take the time to wander out to the pier and see what this thing really is?

Inquiring minds NEED to know!

Weirs guy · 03-27-2006, 01:04 PM

Did you see it today? Its calling me to swim over to it!

Steveo · 03-30-2006, 02:58 PM

Whatever that yellow space ship is off of the Weirscam finally hatched something. Check out the Weirscam.

Looks like Keith (post 24) is the winner.Go claim that prize by jumpimg off the pier and retrieving the sign.Great guess!!

A rock bass you say ...well I've heard they don't exist in Lake Winnipesaukee. Something to do with global warming and rising water levels or the like.

That said I have seen pictures of said fish and while they bear a superficial resemblance to the object in the water I think everyone can clearly see it isn't a rock bass. Compare the picture above to the one of a rock bass below

Grant · 02-25-2006, 10:13 AM

Actually, you can see it quite clearly this morning (Saturday).

On a related note, check out this screen grab from the Varney Point cam:

Skip · 02-25-2006, 11:40 AM

I sent the image off to a friend at SP HQ and had it enhanced using the latest crime scene photo analysis techniques. The yellowish hue was due to excess tannins in the water, but after a little filtering this is what the picture revealed:

Attachment 682

Rumor has it that a suspect in a well worn aluminum boat coated in rustoleum paint was observed trying to attach the sign to a nearby piling, but it fell off shortly thereafter. Authorities are trying to track the suspect down using a Walmart receipt found near the scene...

wildwoodfam · 02-25-2006, 01:20 PM

yellow sign has created! I am happy to have contributed to such a lively debate! If only we could always be this cordial to one another - there may never have been a need for the 45 MPH lake limit discussion

JTA · 02-25-2006, 02:34 PM

This one is for real ... one morning a few weeks ago, as I was doing my morning Weirscam looksee, it looked like there was a fire on that deck, to the left of the gate. There was smoke too and it was glowing bright yellow. I looked back a couple of times, and I was starting to figure out how to call the fire department fronm Connecticut. Then it disappeared. Did anyone spot something similar?

Lexxi · 02-25-2006, 06:04 PM

Well Pepper,

I think what people are trying to say is that your vacations over and they want you to get back to work and open up, we are hungry !!!!!

When I used to travel to Conyers, Ga. for work in the Long Horn was a bumper sticker saying "I still miss my wife but my aim is getting better"

1st I am glad to see Grant responded it my be a diver and now Mac has found out it is Pepper Sign! Strange I think she is away this week
