  1. Yeah, just found a YouTube video. That was the sound. Thanks. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
  2. We heard some sort of frogs today in the Blue Hills. Must have been hundreds of them in a wet area or vernal pond. Much deeper sound than peepers. Also saw first snake of the season. Wonder if the rattlers have been out sunning themselves in the parking lots on Wood Road? Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
  3. I have been to the place in North Chelmsford once, and if I remember correctly it is down in a basement. When I first started bowling competitively in the early 1970s, I bowled at a 32 lane house in Seekonk. Almost all lanes were filled with leagues at 7:00 and 9:00 every night of the week. I bowled in a traveling league and we must have gone to 15 or 20 different places just in southeastern Massachusetts. Times have changed. Don't remember any duckpin places in Maine, but I'm sure there were some at one time. There was even a place up in Burlington Vermont. For those who don't know what duckpins are, here is comparison of different bowling pins. Left to right: rubberband duckpin, duckpin, Canadian five pin, candlepin, tenpin.
  4. Mainly southern New England and Mid Atlantic, but the number of places that have closed in the last 20 to 30 years is staggering. Only 2 left in Massachusetts. 6 lane house in North Chelmsford and 10 lane house in Billerica. I bowl in Warren, Rhode Island. 18 lane house is one of only 6 left in the state. Maybe a dozen left in Connecticut.
  5. Duckpin. I drive down to Rhode Island. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk
  6. Had my second Pfizer does yesterday and also had a slight headache. Also felt a little spacier than usual last evening for a little bit. Last night was my bowling league, and I did feel a little achier than normal this morning but it could also be my 66 year old bones. Overall, really no big deal for me with any reaction. Feels great to have it done!!!
  7. Got my second Pfizer shot this morning. A little headache, but that's it so far. Bowling night tonight, so hope I don't have any kind of reaction later.
  8. Try looking in Hyde Park and Readville. Commuter rail goes right into Northeastern. We rented in a great apartment complex while we were house hunting 12 years ago after selling our condo. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
  9. So sorry to hear about that. Regarding the c diff, I had it last fall after being on antibiotics for an infected tooth. Not fun at all, and took nearly 3 months of treatment with vancomycin and probiotics to finally clear it up. Quite worrying for a while. Hope she improves quickly. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
  10. I have mine on 3/16. I'll let you know which superpowers appear first!
  11. Yeah, I think the old record for Boston was 67 and they are at 74.
  12. 75 now in my backyard and at OWD. Time to leave the home office and get out for a walk.
  13. Yikes, it is 72!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Up to 66 now in the backyard and the clearing skies are just arriving. I want 70!
  15. 60F under slightly milky sunny skies and a gentle breeze. We spring forward! Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk
  16. I do remember how fast it disappeared. Almost as fast as April 1997.
  17. That was all shoveled, and it is a pretty long driveway. Should have gotten a snow blower then, but I thought how often are we going to see two 2' storms in a month. I can handle this! Finally bought an electric one after 2015. Should have learned my lesson earlier.
  18. Yeah, once you head south on 28 from 128, you gain elevation pretty quickly. We are at about 225'
  19. I remember it snowed most of the day in the city, but nothing was sticking the day that it started. Took the train home and got on 128 and there was a little snow in Westwood. Got off on route 28 in Randolph and everything was snow covered including the roads and we already had 3 or 4 inches. Huge difference in just a few miles.
  20. 2' of firehose paste that weighed a ton. Should have sent the pictures to Pete B.
  21. Looking forward to the day when this is mostly behind us, at least in terms of what it has been like over the last year.
  22. I ended up getting mine in Randolph and not at Gillette. Same thing, confirmation email with very little info. I think all sites are probably using the same system. Didn't know how early to show up for 1:45 appointment so got there about 1:20. Breezed thru and was on my way home at 1:43 and that included the 15 minute post shot wait. Got an email yesterday saying I would be contacted in about two weeks to set up the second shot.
