Former Wolfeboro airport party

[Patiently Watching]

Some serious whining...

There are a ton of wake surfing boats in Winter Harbor.

I don't thing the Wolfeboro PD is too worried about your neighbors and their fireworks.

As for noise across Winter Harbor - are you using an amplifying listening device to drive yourself nuts?

Alabaman Helen Keller, who was born with no hearing and no sight, is quoted—in American Sign Language—she would rather have her hearing than her eyesight. While I don't necessarily agree, I learned of this quote as a teen, and have been very protective of my hearing. This has paid off for this bird-watcher—now in retirement—as I can "bird by ear".

Snippet: Once, at a sale in a huge garage, a lady said, "Oh, listen to the Robin". While I should have kept my mouth shut, I corrected instantly, "That's an Osprey".

➳ Seeing the problems my BIL and other friends have with hearing aids, I've distanced myself away from all amplified noise. So, how should I respond when the amplified noise comes to me?

My friendly neighbors who were absent during that "Birthday Party" may not be so friendly should another "Birthday Party" occur.

Those "tons" of wake-boaters play amplified noise—except when they want to speak to one another!

This site shows the Marriott property at 580 feet of elevation, so subtract 504 feet for the lake, and you'll have aircraft making their take-off runs much higher than the cottages along the lakefront. We never knew a plane was in the air until we heard two things:

• First, the [louder] echo from the opposite shore.

• Second, a short buzz when the aircraft got airborne near the end of the runway.

• Third, twin-engine aircraft were noisier, but very infrequent. (OK, three. )

I didn't say that.

But you've reminded me of last week, when I watched a Marriott Wake Boat approaching their boat house. Everything when smoothly until the two wake boards—Kah-Thunk—struck the entrance!

Wonder why he sticks around? He should be up in Moosehead Lake and complain about the wild life!

I'll try to use simpler words—and your link doesn't work.

FLL's comment will get a relevant response in tomorrow's post—but in the History forum.

The OP, who apparently lives nearly a mile from the "Birthday Party" wasn't me—and he got an answer; besides, I'm in good company. Radio host Howie Carr called himself an old fart just minutes after I viewed this comment.

Sailing in two "Paradises" was a dream for retirement. You'll notice that the word is sorely missing around here, and another has noted that it's slowly disappearing in that other "Paradise":

Outdoorsman was spot on.

No need to use simpler words, my comment was about the over use of emojis.


And my link worked just fine. Which is why you clicked it, as evidenced by the below link.

...suggest you check out this 'old NH airport' website ......'This site' ....... It shows among other old NH air strips.....the old seaplane & small plane air strip ... Lakes Region Airport .... way down Wolfeboro Neck, and the old White Mountain Airport in North Conway that is now a shopping mall....believe what used to be the airplane hanger and airport office has been totally reconstructed and modified ..... now home to a large Old Navy retail store .... with a very expensive looking biplane weather vane atop the retail roof.....plus Route 16 in N Conway was a very different road in the old photo ... and, this is progress .....yikes!
