Have you entered a marathon yet KJ (Kevin Jr. )?

Looks like a trail cam.

Chamber of Commerce weather.

41.7° for the low here. Might have dropped a bit lower at the bottom of the hill.

I’ve seen these guys 6 or 7 times but it’s been probably 10 years since the last time. I think the best live performance I’ve ever seen was the first half of a show they played at Memorial Auditorium in Burlington. Warren was on fire. I thought they got a little too jammy for my taste after intermission. I was also pie eyed drunk by then so my judgement was probably not the best.

Saw them at Higher Ground in BTV a couple of years ago. Put on a great show.

So now you're going to start the Countdown to May 1, 2025 thread?

We were talking about this at the golf course last night. After Labor Day, golf seems to drop off pretty steeply. The weather can be great but the courses seem to empty out.

Insurance companies will often settle rather than go to court. We ran into that issue at the snowmobile association. The company would retain attorneys who were not versed in outdoor motorized recreation and trails. They settled some stuff we didn’t feel should be. Our rates kept rising and they kept saying they were going to drop us. We finally started our own captive insurance company to cover our liability requirements. If anyone had told me that I would be president of an insurance company, I would have said they were crazy. But here we are.

Henry and FSG have been great owners for Liverpool in the Premier League. The way they renovated their existing stadium to keep the historic aspects while modernizing it has bee spectacular. They are careful with money they spend but will splash out on the right player. They are going through a similar transition as the Pats in terms of a new coaching staff and I am happy that it is FSG and Henry at the helm rather than the Kraft team.

I knew it had been cold this month, KMPV is only at +0.9!

I saw one that was all yellow, no brown or orange

Admit it, you want to cut those trees down don’t you?

You don’t think we are expecting it then by now?

I’m playing in a member/guest so I’ll be back out tomorrow.

My eyes!

Beautiful day today. Great day for golf.

What are you? 90?

You don't say.

Yes because it’s still full of toxic waste washed down from all the floods.

@CoastalWxand @powderfreakyou guys will get a kick out of this. I was flying from BWI to MHT today and I happened to notice that we were just starting to cut across southern VT. I looked out the window and all I could see was clouds stretching out all the way north up the spine of the Greens. By the way, I could not see any evidence of bodies being buried around Mitch's place.

Was just coming here to post this article. https://vtdigger.org/2024/08/22/local-investors-to-buy-killington-and-pico-mountain-ski-areas/

New lady in your life? Congrats

That's why its run by the Feds. Private insurers didn't want to do it.

Flood insurance is never covered by regular homeowners policies. Of course many of the specific flood insurance policies are just as bad. My boss paid flood insurance for years, thought she would be covered only to be told that because the water only got to 30" on her first floor, that's all they would pay for. Even though all the electrical and insulation had to be replaced. It is bullshit.
