Silent Scream !!!

[lfdmichael]

I think I just heard the biggest silent scream run all the way across NY State. C'mon fed. not even 1 award for this great state. I'm done until next week, no checking for 1199 or DJ. Busy work and book keeping until quitting time then 3 days of relaxing.

(Rant complete)

Congratulations to all of this rounds awardees. Everyone have a great holiday weekend.

That is so weird!!! I feel your pain Michael. There was one late round 42 award for NY though.

I think Kurt & Brian's travels last year are hurting Northern NY's odd's. They need to show upstate NY a little more love for next year. Some of the state's with all the awards are some of their favorite stomping grounds with all the good whiskey, sight seeing, etc.??? We can import some Canadian beer or whatever it takes.

I did get to go to Brian's seminar, in Southern NY, so I'm one of the few with their secrets. I scored one of the 15 NY grants for my neighbors, so I guess I'm feeling pretty good. I still have three more in the works with no 1199a or no DJ's, so I'm going to pull up the percentage in Northern NY real soon.

Well I have been at Bushnell's Basin FD near Rochester for the past two years with seminars, and they are on the books for another this year, and the attendees at those have all done well over the past two years.

Was just in Onieda for the Central NY conference, might be heading back there again for a full blown one so NY will be picking up more dough. Helped a big hunk go to the museum for FP&S, working on more for that project and others too here soon. NY won't be left out.

NY's not the only state sitting on the sidelines, trust me!!!!!

Yeah look at PA as well, in 2007 we received 40+ award in the FIRST round. We are right around that number now in ROUND 9.. Not sure whats going on there

I noticed that Indiana seems to be in a strange pattern this time.

You're right you folks were fairly consistent last year as well not it seems sporadic. anyone have a theory ?

[BC79er_OLDDELETE]

Fewer awards leads to more anomales in the stats. Haven't run the numbers but if you take smaller slices of prior years you can end up with the same strange spread across states. Once they pick up the pace it will seem 'normal'. Which will happen soon, at the current rate would take 100 rounds (2 years) to get done so since they have to finish pre-award notifications by February it will happen soon. I think we'll see some serious 1199A action shortly on AFG & SAFER.
