  1. Bottom right looks like an old guy with arthritis trying to give the peace sign.
  2. Rumblings but light rain, seem to between the good stuff.
  3. Got dark but very little rain here, next town over was a downpour, maybe 4-5 miles away.
  4. I've been bitten in the neck driving into bees driving my motorcycle, hurts twice as bad when you're going fast, first the impact then the sting.
  5. I get one at least every year, I try and inspect the house weekly to get them before they get big. When they get big I get a can of wasp spray and wait til a cooler night and spray it, those cans shoot 30 feet and I usually dump the whole can on the nest and saturate it.
  6. I just paid 12.5 for a heat pump system, I'm getting a $3,500 or so rebate and I think there's tax implications too. I was told not to use the heat pump when it gets below 30 so we programmed it so the oil would kick on below that. Just looking into solar now, I was hoping the system would be big enough to make the heat pump more feasible when it's colder but I'm not sure how they size solar systems.
  7. It's funny because even if we don't pull an all nighter we get little sleep, then the night after a storm the forum is dead by 7pm.
  8. I was up most of the night for that one, maybe dozed off for a couple hours in my chair, closest I've come. If we get another hurricane I may do an all nighter.
  9. Just lost power, ironic now that the tstorms passed, someone might hit a pole nearby.
  10. My friend in Oxford, MA lost power two days last week from those localized T-storms, I didn't get a drop and he's 7 miles away. Yesterday and today was a good drink.
  11. They don't look appetizing but I'll try anything once.
  12. Not sure how much I got today but it poured for about an hour with some lightning and thunder, actually had puddles on the road. haven't seen that for awhile.
  13. Nights like tonight I get them crawling up my patio doors.
  14. What's a pawpaw taste like or comparable to? I got apples for the first time this year, tons of peaches and a few pears, I didn't prune the pear tree too well so that's my fault, I'll do it better this year and hope for more next year.
  15. Was pouring in the next town over 8 miles away, steady rain here, I'll take what I can get, radar looks good for next few hours so hoping it picks up.
  16. I just had one installed last week and have a full tank of oil and 7 cords of wood. I should be immune to the oil prices this year anyway.
  17. Happens now and then up there, it'll be warm one day but back to cold the next.
  18. I'm waiting on $3,250 from Masssave for my new heating/cooling system. They said up to 16 weeks, been only 1 so far so I have a wait.
  19. Probably this fall will be a soaker.
  20. Showers to the north of me showers to the south here I am stuck in the middle of nothing again.
  21. I got a few sprinkles, hoping for more.
  22. Hot and humid a farmer told me makes it grow fast and taste good.
  23. This hot weather has brought out the late summer weeds, spent a couple hours cleaning up four of these damn weeds. The carpet weeds were the worst. Common Weeds that Grow in Massachusetts - Fresh Lawn Care
  24. I have a wood stove too and just had a hybrid heat/central ac installed so might get by on very little oil. I need it for hot water and if the temps get real cold. Most years I use one tank, this year I hope to cut it in half. Fortunately I have a full tank right now.
