  1. When they were up 34-13 going into the 4th he was thinking "The Pats will probably give up 28 points and lose".
  2. I thought so. It was a northeast facing aspect so that's probably why I could still see some when I was driving through around 3:00
  3. Was there snow/hoar frost on some of the mountains across from your place yesterday? I was driving through on my way home from Maine and it looked like it but I couldn't really tell.
  4. 33° at home. 42° here in Augusta, ME
  5. That was the joke. October snow ruining winter.
  6. Lava Rock will complain he only got 4” of rain when models were saying 6”. That will be enough though to wash away any bits of lawn he managed to start growing. Next spring he starts with bare ground again.
  7. I’m in Augusta, ME. It’s only 41° here. Back home it got down to 28°
  8. Is that a picture of Jerry from one of the get togethers?
  9. Northern Japan. Watch the first episode of this show
  10. I use between 5-600 gallons per year. It has gone down since I switched from oil domestic hot water to a hybrid hot water heater. I want to get the heat pump eventually, just haven't done it yet. The 2 tank set up was done by the previous owner. He had switched the house from electric baseboard to oil hot water baseboard. The boiler he installed was a 145,000 btu oil/wood/coal fired monstrosity that he had bought used from somewhere. It was so inefficient that we had to keep the window in our bedroom cracked in winter because the heat going up the chimney through our bedroom closet made our room too warm even when it was only set at 65°. I remember when that thing died. It was March 2001, during one of the snowiest stretches ever. There was so much snow that they couldn't take the old boiler out until mid-April.
  11. Just received my fuel oil delivery of the season. I think my last delivery was in early March. I have double tanks and this delivery was 248 gallons at $3.07 per gallon. Usually our first delivery is larger but the warm fall has certainly helped with that.
  12. That’s @dryslot on the left posting about it.
  13. They had a visit from Stein and wanted to water the grass?
  14. Having watched Moonshiners on Discovery (fake, I know), I always thought that distilling might be a good fit with syrup making. Not exactly the same but similar in some aspects. Could you use maple syrup or maple sugar in place of the normal sugar used?
  15. If you just happen to be at the snowmobile show in Augusta this weekend and just happened to have a jar with you, I might be persuaded quality test for you
  16. Haven’t had to do that with our dog thankfully but we did have to do it with our cat. He wasn’t nearly as gracious about the treatment as your dog was.
  17. It rained pretty hard when it came through here around 4:30. Street drains backed up for a little bit in places down in Barre City. About an inch between overnight and this evening.
  18. Lol. Like you really had to ask him why he was cheering for rain. Isn’t this a yearly occurrence?
  19. Pretty much the same here. There are some things you have to go in person for but all the standard registration renewals etc. are online. I have had to make an appointment and that seems to work pretty smoothly.
  20. Big changes coming to the all important Northern VT/Northern NY television market https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/the-retirements-of-sharon-meyer-and-tom-messner-forecast-the-end-of-an-era-in-vermont-media/Content?oid=34018378
  21. I've hit the 30's a couple of times. I think 37° or 38° is my low. Late for a frost definitely but pretty much normal for foliage
  22. I was in Epping, down near the coast and didn’t hear anything. Of course it was at snowmobile races so it was pretty loud.
