  4. Modfan sent me this bad news we lost a forum poster @kbc360 an infrequent poster but a nearby neighbor and a snow plow operator for CT DOT who often posted snow totals as he traveled around ECT. RIP Keith It is with a heavy heart to inform you that we lost my wife's brother, Keith Cooper at 2:45 am this morning at the age of 53, after a brief illness and a broken heart. Keith and my wife Lisa lost their dad, role model, hero, mentor, and best friend just a few short months ago and it has been very difficult on both of them. Keith loved life, had a very high IQ and drive. After basic schooling, he excelled in the fire and EMS service, joined the Navy, and was part of the Navy-air department during desert storm, an emergency 911 dispatcher for northeastern CT. For many years, fire chief for Williamsville Fire Engine Company, part of the emergency team for Homeland security's North Eastern CT. area and a good friend to many. In his spare time, Keith was employed by CT. DOT where he also excelled in the permitting and inspection office at the main office in Norwich.
  5. AWT Eric ( Radarman) posted this elsewhere Super informative paper... King's College of London lead... Sample size 627,383 vaccinated patients https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00224-3/fulltext A few highlights: 1) As many have suspected, the reaction to the vaccine is far worse if you've had Covid already. "Systemic side-effects were more common (1·6 times after the first dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (aka Oxford/AstraZeneca) and 2·9 times after the first dose of BNT162b2 (aka Pfizer)) among individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection than among those without known past infection. Local effects were similarly higher in individuals previously infected than in those without known past infection (1·4 times after the first dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and 1·2 times after the first dose of BNT162b2). " 2) There is no difference in side affects if you had covid recently, or quite awhile ago " No consistent difference in occurrence of systemic or local adverse effects was observed between individuals who reported a positive test result within the past 6 months and those who reported they received a positive test result at least 6 months ago " 3) Infection risk reduction peaked at 60% for AstraZeneca at day 12, 69% Pfizer (shot1) at day 21-44, 72% at day 44-59 (shot 2) "Significant reductions in infection risk were seen starting at 12 days after the first dose, reaching 60% (95% CI 49–68) for ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and 69% (66–72) for BNT162b2 at 21–44 days and 72% (63–79) for BNT162b2 after 45–59 days." 4) In a separate sample group over an observation period of 14mos (starting Jan 2020) 10.8% of unvaxxed participants tested positive, and 3% of vaxxed participants tested positive. (Note- vaccine wasn't ready in Jan 2020, so it's a shorter observation window implying less chance of exposure... but also to note some of those 3% likely contracted it shortly after getting the vaccine, before it takes affect) "3106 of 103 622 vaccinated individuals and 50 340 of 464 356 unvaccinated controls tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection." My conclusions... a) the vaccines generally work and reduce risk substantially, but perhaps not as well as was reported in phase 3 trials b) the vaccines are nowhere near as effective as natural immunity c) if you've previously had covid, you are very likely to have substantial side effects no matter how long it's been since you've had it, with almost nothing to gain
  6. Had to turn on the flipping heat. House was 62. Helluva way to run Mayorch
  7. Love price chopper in Putnam. Definitely a bargain place for sales. I try to get their often.
  8. Their meats are fantastic but trendy store and overpriced because the yuppies pay for status.
  9. I remember back in the 80s the penny stocks craze. Some cashed in like Tequila Barry who made 300K but many lost out. This coin stuff is nutz. If you used your $1400 stimulus to buy DOGE at .002 you would have 400+k today. Thats insane. Know when to hold um know when to fold um
  10. Bucku bucks , dropping half a k isn't hard there. Eating right is expensive.
  11. I drink like 3 gallons of whole milk a week. My only beverage besides coffee. I eat a lot of whole grain cereals. Milk was 1.99 a gallon last Feb now about 2.99. Chicken is cheap, pork somewhat but anything beef is off the hook. Veggies are up but the kicker is paper goods, cleaning supplies. We by in bulk now
  12. I guess you don’t eat meat, up near 11% The BLS said food prices climbed by 0.7% in May, following a 1.5% spike in April. “However, unlike the broad increase in April, the May increase was driven mostly by a 3.7% rise in the index for meats, poultry, dairy, and eggs. The beef index increased 10.8% in May, its largest-ever monthly increase,” said the agency’s monthly Consumer Price Index Report.
  13. Have you been food and paper goods cleaning supplies shopping lately. No way only 4%, food alone has to be 10%
  14. Tomorrow is a crap day destructive sunshine with showers and chilly
  15. Kev still stuck with 1996 bulky non fitting window units. 2021 pop in and go units.
  16. Coin talk ranks up there with dews. Geezuz
  17. Mayflies? They are harmless
  18. Point being it might not start tomorrow. Same with AC. If it was running in perfect condition when you properly stored it away it should run. Of course a snow blower gas engine is a different story
  19. We are weather people we know when to install. Do you start your car the night before to make sure it works in the morning?
  20. Yea that 5 minutes it takes to pop a window unit in is brutal. I only have floor units that take 3 minutes. Filter should have been cleaned before you put it away.
  21. Yes mine came back last week https://www.hummingbirdcentral.com/hummingbird-migration-spring-2021-map.htm
