  1. Can someone post the monthly departures for HVN and BDR? Its been an absolute furnace here and the overnight lows have been running crazy high. Every night is like a 70+ min here. BDR I think tied its record max yesterday of 86.
  2. Possible world record white catfish caught in Coventry Lake. “I Was Shocked!” Connecticut Angler Lands Potential World Record White Catfish The 21.3-pound white cat doubles the previous state record and potentially smashes the IGFA all-tackle record, too. And no, it's not a channel cat https://www.fieldandstream.com/fishing/ct-angler-catches-record-white-catfish/
  3. Some of the best swimming of the year here. The water temp in the sound off New Haven is currently 76.3.
  4. You know whats up. Best time of the year for the beach. The sound water temp in Milford is still 75...
  5. It sure is. I'm at my sister's in Milford and the beaches are packed like it's early August. 82/68 according to the closest WU station.
  6. What a special summer. 72 for the overnight low with some gusty dews coming in now. Strengthening southwesterly flow, and occasionally gusty along the coast, early this morning, was bringing in higher dew points. And temperatures have remained nearly steady. Updated for current conditions and trend this morning.
  7. $1800 a year on gas for just the pool heater? My buddy owns a pool company and he said they have insanely efficient inverter driven pool heat pumps now. They operate at a coefficient of performance (cop) of 14. That's an effective efficiency of 1400%. For every 1kw used your sending 14kw into the pool.
  8. It is when you have comprehensive coverage. Many people don't though and are driving older cars. I just talked to another friend who can't even get a converter for his car. Places are saying so many are being stolen they can't even get replacements. Another friend said they hit his work van but also destroyed the entire exhaust system including the oxygen sensors. They had to replace everything from the exhaust manifold back and it was like almost 4k.
  9. With the rise in precious metals catalytic converters are being stolen like crazy now. My brother in New Haven said his whole neighborhood has been hit multiple times. They go under with a Sawzall and cut it out in less than a minute. I looked up prices and they are worth a few hundred in scrap each. The repair bills can be huge as a new converter are often over 1k for just the converter. My brother had to spend 1800 to get his Honda fixed.
  10. Been an incredible summer for gardens. My hydrangeas and hostas are blooming again. My tomatoes are flowering again and on their 2nd crop of tomatoes.
  11. Can you throw up HVN or BDR? It's been an incredible summer of dews and heat here on the CT shoreline. The overnight lows and dew's have been nuts here. Everyone around here is installing central air/minisplits as it just doesn't cool off at night like it use to.
  12. Awesome. Went yesterday on a charter boat out of Galilee and was landing bass on every cast.
  13. I saw it from the CT shoreline as well. Some insane lighting with that. Look at the lighting track. If that was over land...
  14. Some more info here. https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/tribal-cannabis-store-coming-to-cts-foxwoods-casino-and-maybe-north-carolina-too
  15. New Cannabis dispensary called Cookies just opened in Worscester. Haha
  16. One of the best summers for lawns. Months and months of lush grass here.
  17. Well said. Dogs are amazing creatures and raising a pup has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
  18. Appreciate all the work you do. This pup is living his best life...
  19. Terrible conditions down there but there are a ton of New Englanders with big hearts...
  20. Wife and I adopted this rescue pup from Georgia. Its my first dog and what an experience. Such a great bond. He loves going down to the river.
  21. That place has great dogs! A true weenie paradise...
  22. What a special one. Definitely some of the best dews of the summer. 93/76
