Lava Rock

We bought this house in April. I will be here most of the winter. I am back and forth through the summer and fall.
House is at 1,500 ft in Randolph, NH.

Congrats

It's something different almost every evening, depending on cloud cover, etc. I am setting up a public camera pointed at it, hopefully by tomorrow; I will share the link here.

I forget, did you move there? Where is it?

That was the reason why I wasn't completely sure of an accountant b/c it's not really tax related and was I think thinking perhaps more of a financial advisor 

We're in similar boat. Recently inherited some money and need advice as to whether to pay off mortgage, invest in ETFs (there are some good Vanguard ones earning 10-30% annually) and other related financial questions. I've contacted Fidelity to see who we can talk to.

That's good news for the economy there.  We must have about 1000 units, between our 4 biggest clients alone, that we have coming.  It's never been this busy in the 25 years I have been doing this.  Nuts.

I would have thought Covid would have slowed building down, but it has done the opposite. Or is it not related to covid at all?

Can someone ID this broadleaf weed?

84/70, We wipe.

89/71.6. Heat index 95.4. Bring on Fall

Lawn is baked out at this point.  Even neighbors who water are struggling to keep things "green"
Plants, trees, shrubs are also showing the stress of lack of water.  

We've always had problems, but the lower section we put in couple years ago is gone. All weeds, grass non existent. Going to have to start over with more loam. Got estimate on irrigation system including well. . About $15K. That's not happening. I am going to buy an aerator though for entire property with the hope it helps

This time last year from the bottom of the image out was all thick woods. Made the decision earlier this year to stretch it out. Been fighting with the late winter, wet spring and now the dry weather, but it’s holding. Been working hard to not lose the investment. This was from about a week ago.

Drool. Wicked nice, congrats!

Calm on Sebago tonight

Charlie Baker postpones reopening plan. Scaling back 

Yet, Cuomo says all NY schools opening

They got fined $600   Against Board of Health regs.   I was kinda shocked. 
 
edit.  Sorry.  I didn’t see this was already answered

I heard one state would start cutting power to homes that have parties. Sorry, but that's over the line for me.

No Utica Club?

Lol, the good ole party balls. I remember the Coors light ones. Nasty

59/50. Great sleeping weather

Fauci said 50% effectiveness would be a success. 

Not if enough people don't get vaccinated

 

There is no end game. Vaccine is a panacea but how long does it last,effective, one positive right? 
 

An article yesterday said that the percentage of people willing to get a vaccine as soon as it comes out has dropped to about 40%, down from 55% in April. Mostly cause people want to wait it out awhile before getting injected with a rushed to market vax. So the thought that the vax is the end all be all won't be the case even if very effective if not enough people don't get vaccinated.

Nice, you get around at all?  We did takeout a few nights.  Venezia on Rt 302 in Bridgton is phenomenal.  Campfire Grill is good.  The Chef/Owner used to work at Barrett's group locally and The Charlie Horse in Kingston.

my wife's fav italian place

to those that like and were biting at the bit for destruction, enjoy your cleanup

Power never flickered. We'll rebuild

Gust to 33. 0.61"

No power, no phone, no internet.  I was smart and called Verizon this morning figuring this would happen and changed temporary to a daily unlimited data so using phone as hotspot.
 25% of the NH Coop does not have power and backside winds are just arriving.  Lots of gusts into the 30's but peak wind so far 42mph
 This is not going to be a quick power outage.
 

That blows. Pun intended
