Always bring a coat on the boat and to Fenway in April.

Went fishing out of Gloucester one May, we had a string of really warm days with the day I went in the 80s so just wore a short sleeve shirt, froze my butt off fishing that day.

what is a "Pit8"

He's been buying and selling houses over the years so he's probably due for a new pit, it's been a while. He's really up to Pit 4 or 5 I think.

foggy with lots of homeless people in tents on the sidewalks?

Seattle was like that too but a lot of them were near the water. Som of them get quite creative building a tarp shelter.

We had a huge issue in the Spring (or xmas) whenever we had a big rain on frozen ground.  Dug a French drain trench as described and 0 standing water since.

Only time I had water in my basement was in December one year where it was really cold for a good stretch then it rained hard, rain just stayed on top of the frozen ground and came in under my door. I waterproofed it after that and that was the last and only time.

We’ve been seeing a ton of bear break-ins around Stowe.  They are getting into vehicles and even homes (all by opening doors).  I wish I could post videos… there’s two ring camera scenes of bears walking up to front doors in Stowe and just turning the handle and walking inside.

They have mastered car doors with an incredible efficiency.  7 cars got broken into last night in a condo complex.

The most startling one was at a local hotel, a bear broke into a car by opening the door, but then the door shut behind him.  Locking him in the vehicle.  The front desk got calls at 2am about a horn honking outside in the parking lot.

They find a bear in there honking but it absolutely totaled the vehicle on the inside.  He was trying to remove the door panels to get out.  They ended up popping the trunk and it barely got over the back seat and out.

 

 

 

Are the doors unlocked when they get in or are they able to get in anyway?

Unfortunately, it’s a full ride on mower. 

Mybe he just likes to ride his mower. I had an old guy for a neighbor, he cut his lawn frequently, not sure if it was every 3 days but it was more than I did.

I can’t imagine living there and not being near the water.  Strong hell no to interior Florida.

We checked out the Villages, several of our friends moved there, in the winter it's great down there, so we went in the summer to get a feel for the heat, no way, too freaking hot and humid. Decided on Maine instead.

My conundrum is a dog that has been sprayed twice in her life, but I know her instincts are to go after any small (or big) animal that wanders through.

We have a skunk that comes by most days, and is very careful to stay on the perimeter where it knows the dog can’t get it (due to being on a lead attached to the porch).

The problem is going to be, one day, the dog won’t be tethered or will slip out when the skunk is doing his thing eating grubs…. the dog is getting sprayed again.

Every dog I've had (4 dogs) except for the current pup have been sprayed, nasty smell but I keep hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dawn in the house just in case.

Started here about 30 mins ago. Looks very meh . Light showers on and off thru 5:00 then moves east . Enough to ruin the afternoon and breed the great mosquito outbreak of 25’

Every time I take the dog out I get eaten alive. Going to have to get some kind of lotion.

On another level the last few nights. Stand still for 10 seconds and there’s 20 on you. I have bites on top of bites now. 

My left ear has 5 bites, not sure if they're from skeeters or those black flies.
