I write three a year for the dinosaur of an oil company I get my oil from.

I don't see any point in clearing any when for $250 some kids will do it for you and leave it spotless.

Catching trout in your back yard?

What's your elevation?

Used to like the day when the mets at 11 would predict light snows 1-3 inches and we'd end up with 18 inches. Those days are over I think but when I was a kid I always went to bed hoping they were wrong.

I used to be like that but it's so much easier to put them on autopay. You're never late for one thing.

I have to look more into this, seems convenient in addition to getting benefits.

One of the guys I know does that does it has thousands of airline miles, he has property in Florida that he goes back and forth to 5-6 times and year and I think he said it cost him $29, not sure of that's a tax or what but he has enough accumulated for years.

So what do you get by doing this, I know its a simple way to take care of bills and just pay one fat payment a month, I've been intrigued by it but never looked into it.

I know people that pay every bill with their credit card, including groceries and pay it off every month and get all kinds of rewards. I don't play that game but they get cash back and airline miles.

Our waitress at a popular restaurant in Maine told me she quit her corporate job to waitress and makes $500 per night, she said less hours and less headaches. You work Thurs-Sunday that 2k for the week and you have all days off and 3 nights off, she said much less stress.

I would rather have an inch or two of crust Christmas Eve and Christmas day than a foot a powder get melted by heavy rain on the 24 th, which has happened.

That was the road where I did the appraisal. Quite a few got hit hard there, lucky no casualties.

Takes me a while to adjust, once I do I love winter weather.

That must be the 22.3 inches they got in March then, 45.6 for the whole year, thought it would have been more.

Everyone gave the Bills the AFC title three weeks ago how things change.

Don't think Ray agrees with you but I like when your pessimistic, you do that reverse psychology thing well.

You'll make up for it in the middle of winter.

What year was that huge blizzard in the late 1800's?

Fantastic write up Ray, I'll have to dig into it tomorrow when i have time, just brushed the highlights today.

Same town as now, southern Worcester County, may have to call on Will, I'm sure he remembers those back to back storms in a week in Feb.

I do it monthly, weekly would probably make it a bit easier though, less to take off each time so I see why you do it that way,

I appraised one of the homes that got levelled in Brimfield last year, the owner had quite an amazing story, she barely made it into the basement with her two golden retrievers in time and was scared shitless when it passed over. They ended up with a 10 acre wooded lot looking like a field afterwards. They did get the house rebuilt and lived in a FEMA trailer on their property for a year while they rebuilt. The good news is they planned on cutting down a couple of acres of trees and put up a barn for horses, the tornado did that work for them and the rebuilt home is beautiful.

Small ponds have ice?

I probably have the year wrong, I don't have a memory like Wills but I remember it was Feb school vacation and we had a blizzard the first day and a week later, I think the second blizzard was the better of the two. I was dressing to go outside and it's the only time I remember my mother not letting me go out into the blizzard. I was actually pissed at the timing because we had two great storms and didn't get a snow day since we were on school vacation.
