  1. Their rattling ned has been killer this year. I hardly touched a ned rig last year, fish in the Q see tons of them. That little rattle makes all the difference though.
  2. Thanks. I feel for those who have the extreme forms, I cannot imagine being stabbed hurts more than a block. My wake-up call was when I was 22 I ended up hospitalized for 6 days after green beans sent me into a flare. Doctor said "Well you'll either respond to the meds or you'll leave here with a bag." Ginx, great deal! URI has some amazing profs. My two most memorable classes were a seminar on the Holocaust taught by a survivor and then "The History of RI" taught by an old-school teamster with pinkie rings who drove an old gold Cadillac Coupe (mind you it was 2011). It might as well be "University of NJ" these days, they need all that out of state tuition.
  3. Yea we have the central air going just to keep the house dried out. I have an over active immune system anyway (Crohn's disease) so I am always at an increased risk of developing it. Going to get the best mask I can come fall, instead of my usual 20 student lab section I got assigned a 350 student lecture.
  4. I had a bit of a cough Sunday night. Woke up yesterday with a dry cough, weight on my chest, and stabbing pain in my lower back, no fever or other cold symptoms. Clear pneumonia on my chest x-ray. Just came out of no where. Doc said they are seeing all sorts of weird respiratory stuff going on with negative covid tests.
  5. DAMN. Not even here yet and gusting over 40mph. Tree down across the street and lots of limbs.
  6. I was just looking at UMAXX, looks better than the derecho to my amateur eye.
  7. After going to SF a few years ago I really became a Giants fan because I felt it was the way baseball should be (e.g., cheap tickets, bring a cooler or box of pizza into the place, just a fun time). That said, this team is just so fun to watch, they have personality, reminds me of the early 2000s teams I loved. I think Bloom might go wild and grab Rizzo.
  8. Phil Kessel does commercials now!
  9. It is wild. I have never seen a sunrise or moon so red/pink. Glad we brought the little one's nebulizer, she has been really coughing.
  10. Wife has a conference on the Cape. Love it, leave Belchertown and the severe follows us. They are hyping it on the local radio stations down here. Last time we were on the Cape was about 4 years ago when they got a wild line of storms in the morning. Ended up taking us 5 hours to get from Truro to the canal due to roads closed from downed trees and flooding.
  11. From Belchertown Fire Department's FB page. There are more on the Belchertown page.
  12. I'm at that point with Verdugo, seems to have an attitude issue. Can't wait to see what Durran can do, also have Meneses (little older) and Castellanos in Portland waiting.
  13. Pictures starting to come in on FB. This is from Belchertown FD. Several roads are "gone."
  14. "Only" 3.9" in the past 24 hours. Seeing reports on our town FB page multiple streets are washed out and some people are being evacuated. Weather station 5 miles south of us is reporting 5.1" since yesterday.
  15. Best light show this year and another 1.7". I think that is over 7" now this month.
  16. This storm is legit. Sky is black in some places.
  17. Time for me to re-watch this episode of The Office.
  18. She is/was an avid road biker but after a few close calls around here I think she might be done with it. Just too many distracted drivers. Great workout with low impact sums it up, it's a "good type of sore" the next day.
  19. I find it easier to go down the mountain after a couple. For example, I did my MCL after snagging a tree on the bobsled track out to the 19th hole at Mad River. Went down to the lodge pounded Lawson SOSs until I didn't notice it, then proceeded to lap the stuff out past Paradise. Great day! Next day and weeks sucked though lol I used to do 3 10ks a week to stay in shape for hockey, but after a year I started feeling it in my ankles and knees. Think I am just not built for it. My wife recently decided to pull the trigger on a peloton and I now understand the hype and probably use it more than she does.
  20. What could possibly go wrong dropping that? lol Side note, I had to get a new saw this spring. After years of Husqvarna I decided to try Stihls. Both obviously do the trick. Then I tried the Echo Timberwolf. HOLY @#%^. Same price, feels like a ton more power, and a 5 year warranty. I never would have thought they could make a saw that competes with the two big names but they have. Would highly recommend.
  21. The Bassmaster Elite Series is on Champlain Thurs-Sun. Pretty fun to watch and see how little has changed since I last fished it 10 years ago. Weights seem to be coming back a bit from a few down years in 2015-2018. https://www.bassmaster.com/video/bassmaster-live-mix St. Lawrence River next week will be tons of 4-6lbs smallies and big waves.
