I’m 30 miles south of Newport, never seen so many cars on 91 this far north

Also heading to Newport, leaving before 6, car is fueled and cooler is packed. Bike is in the trunk. Hoping to get to the event at Prouty Beach.

Heading for Newport at 6:30 am. Gonna be a madhouse.

felt it. about 15 seconds of shaking here

Just repeating this here since this is what the data say and have been saying for 40 years.

snow has ended, dusting is melting, sump pump is pumping

is that the one in Northampton ?

is that the one in Northampton ?

people still watch teevee? for weather ?

I thought about bringing a 5 gallon gas can too, but probably just going to fill up about an hour before arriving, maybe in Bradford or Woodville.

Following up on the often requested and still neglected dark theme.

Leaning towards Newport. Feel like the trip back from Burlington on 89 will be super frustrating. Newport put out some helpful info: https://www.discovernewportvt.com/eclipse/

overcast, breezy and 50s here this afternoon installing an blue-tooth car play radio in the 04 corolla my son drives. my boat is still under a tarp, and so is my truck

it's about time clean tech got it's tiny share of subsidies

It’s much easier to pick up the sticks now than after the grass starts growing. I really should pick up the pine cones too, might work on that tomorrow afternoon.

minimal activity here, picked up a few sticks today. still have my snow stakes in along the street

About 1.25 inches rain here yesterday and overnight. Sump pump is running this morning.

Imagine weenieing data as if data were an opinion

he did say the "potential" was "untapped"

Media pandering for clicks, that’s not scary, it’s business.

25 years ago I was commuting from Needham to Woburn and hated it so much I moved to western Mass.

I’d rather gouge my eyeballs than make that commute, that’s nuts

hopefully ticket prices will come down

Now it looks as though they are here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday

OT, moved here in Sept. '06 and the following October we had like 20+ inches of rain, it was insane. Had a partly finished and carpeted basement that flooded early in the month (I had to pull the carpet and demo, 60s plywood paneling on nailing strips, it wasn't a big loss). I installed a sump pump in one corner, next big rainstorm that month came and the one sump did nothing other than collect and discharge water I swept to it (that's the draw-down curve @ice1972is referring to, also called radius of influence). I ended up cutting a trench 20 inches deep around the interior perimeter of the basement, lining with filter fabric, installing a perforated 2" PVC pipe, backfilling with crushed stone in the trench, compact, and replaced the concrete that had been cut for the trench. The pipes were pitched to the sump. That seemed to solve the problem.
