Rockbottom Dam Removal To Be Studied By City of Binghamton
Hopefully this comes to fruition. The low head dams have caused so much sediment buildup which disrupts the environment and contributes to flooding.

Glad to see closure in this case. Such a senseless thing.

Today's job on my 2014 EXL is fixing the driver door lock. Seems like a common failure so I wanted to share the info I used to fix it.
I went OEM for the door lock actuator. Part 72150-TK8-A02 $94
This one is for the passenger side, but has fantastic video. Everything translates to driver side.

This one has some good tips and is for driver side, but is incomplete for doing the whole job.

Once you get the door panel off and you're trying to get that lever off, take the two round stickers off the door. They provide access holes that make it so much easier. Top one is for the level, bottom one helps with getting the key thing into the new actuator.
If you get a security code message on your infotainment when you start the van, just press and hold the volume know for 5 seconds.
Took about an hour or so, including rewatching videos. Now that I've done it once, this can easily be done in under 30 minutes.
Noticed a big ol' tear in mine when I changed the filter on my 2014. Seems like a common failure as they age. Easy diy swap and the replacement was $50 for oem. Also a good opportunity to tidy up the engine a bit.
We have no control over what our ancestors did, but I can fault a politician's decision making abilities that led to him posting a photo of his Nazi grand-dad.
I've been monitoring the local scrapyards in the hopes of grabbing a "new" rear gate (ours is rusted) for our 2014 and it's a bit reassuring to see that all the Odysseys that have been scrapped are previous generation.
It's fun to play around with other makes/models and see which ones are getting scrapped within 10 years. Some of these are from accidents, but you can get a feel for the longevity of the car.
Good news!
>Construction on the new location began in January and they hope to open early this month.
We bought our 2015 used with 140k miles. Now at 193k. No idea when or if this was last cleaned. Running a bit smoother now, but I still need to do the idle relearn.
As posted in The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, Mr Hussain has been not working following hernia surgery. He will be back at the American Legion Parking lot starting Monday, July 6th.
>Troopers found that Crosby made the threatening comment in response to a WBNG story about Juneteenth celebrations in Cortland, where Senator Webb was a featured speaker, and was displayed as the cover image.
>During the investigation, it was learned that Crosby was a convicted felon, and during his arrest, troopers found that he had several guns despite being prohibited from owning them.
>Investigators found a rifle, a large capacity ammunition feeding device, and a firearm suppressor, all of which are prohibited under New York State law.
>The Binghamton Democratic Committee is calling for action after a local man made what they call a racist threat against Senator Lea Webb on social media.
That local man is Jim Crosby of Crosby Home Improvements.
This is the railroad bridge East of the ballpark and North of Tompkins St bridge. Glad to see this finally getting repaired.

>The Black Bears became the first team in FPHL history to win three straight Commissioner’s Cup championships, defeating their opponents in downtown Binghamton.
>The championship parade is scheduled for downtown Binghamton on Monday around 5 p.m.
>The noise is originating at the natural gas fuel cell system that's being installed on Clark Street near a NYSEG substation.
Endicott fire marshal Brian Botsford, who is the village code inspector, visited the site this week. He told WNBF News that load testing is underway for the facility.
>Botsford said the source of the noise is a large generator which is being used to apply a "constant load" on the system. He said the testing started last Friday and it's expected to be "a short-term thing."
>Chris Pelto, who manages the Huron Campus for Phoenix Investors, could not be reached for comment Wednesday about project.
>During an investigation at the scene, it was learned that a 76-year-old woman was driving the SUV on county Highway 48 when she began to make a left turn onto Highway 28, troopers said.
>The driver did not see the motorcyclist who had been driving south on Highway 28 with a group of motorcyclists.
Please please please, look twice before you turn!
>The retuning air service from Delta Air Lines offering flights between the Greater Binghamton Airport and the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is scheduled to start on May 7th. The service is one daily flight on a 70-seat regional jet. The flights arrival is scheduled to arrive at BGM from DTW daily at approximately 1:45 PM, with a return departure to DTW at approximately 2:30 PM.
I can't believe it's been that long since the vaseline man went viral.
>The TV. The carpet. The curtains. The bedding. Every last inch of that room had been deliberately, thoroughly, and completely slathered in petroleum jelly.
>Chamberlain, who was tracked down at a local Econo Lodge, was found “covered from head to toe in Vaseline.”
>Chase Bank has received approval from the town of Vestal to open a branch on the one-acre site where Denny's had operated for nearly a quarter-century.
>The new Chase branch will replace the company's existing office that's operated for a few years at the nearby University Plaza.
>Blooms typically form with hot temperatures, enough nutrients in the water, coupled with sunny conditions. Although temperatures are not quite as hot yet, the area had a lot of sunny days last week. That, along with rain that brought nutrient runoff, is probably what caused this bloom.
Keep an eye out on our local ponds and lakes. If you see something, report it and keep your kids and pets away from it.
Sharing as an FYI for anyone else with an older Santa Fe:
Our 2008 has been having on and off issues with vibration while driving. Subframe replaced by Hyundai as part of warranty, both control arms, and the latest round I noticed the tires were shot due to uneven wear. While swapping the tires my mechanic noticed the newest control arm looked bad and went ahead with a warranty repair only to discover the steering knuckle is cracked in two. Couldn't source one locally so we're waiting for one to arrive. Fingers crossed this solves the issue and we can keep the old beast on the road till 200k.
