  1. Save 5 gallons, put stabilizer in it and put the rest in the car.
  2. Strongest gusts the last 20 mins or so. Top half of a skinny 40’ tree snapped off and a few 10-20’ branches down around the yard. Power went out for 5 minutes but back on for now.
  3. The old under promise, over deliver trick
  4. I believe so but regardless, wx_observer didn’t hear it right.
  5. “According to Eversource, 50% to 69% of their customers could lose power. Restorations could go on from 8 to 21 days.”
  6. Think the surf will be interesting enough for a drive to RI beaches tomorrow afternoon?
  7. Warmer weather is definitely better if you’re going to lose power for days. I know we lost power during the ice storm in 1973. Not sure for how long but I know it was several days. Pipes froze all over the house and did considerable damage. My dad had 4 or 5 big tropical fish tanks and all the fish died. We had fireplaces but they didn’t help for warming the house, just close radiant heat.
  8. Yea long outages suck. We lost power for 2 weeks after Gloria and it was hot and humid afterword for several days. My son was about 2 months old and I remember it being freaking hot. No fan, no ac and no water. We had to drive to in-laws 10 miles away to get tubs of water just for flushing the toilet. I bought a generator shortly after and would never be without one.
  9. When I was 12 we lived in a house in Westchester County NY that had a bomb shelter under the garage. It had some sort of air filter with a big crank that you'd use in a prolonged power outage. My parents didn't want us to tell our friends but I think we had every kid in the neighborhood down there at some point.
  10. Yikes ...four lifestars just flew over heading to Hartford.
  11. You have a nice place up in Randolph. Why don’t you take up fly fishing.? Get outside. It’s good for your head.
  12. ...followed by heart disease, cancer, and premature death.
  13. Having some friends and family over for BBQ today. Perfect weather.
  14. I got a slight fever and fairly intense muscle soreness especially after the second shot. Side effects were a bit worse than anticipated but better than going through shingles.
  15. .45" for us yesterday. Mosquitos becoming more of an issue here.
  16. My haircut person retired so went to someone on a recommendation. As well as not being vaccinated she spent more time lecturing me on the merits of hydroxychloroquine than cutting my hair. She said most of her clients are older so figures she's safe dealing with mostly vaccinated folks. WTF
  17. What did you post about before covid?
  18. Posts mislead on Israel vaccine data
  19. Time to say goodbye to Hal too. Love him or hate him George had that win at all costs mentality and passion for the game itself. Hal is only running this team because he inherited it. He only wants to stay profitable. Time to sell the team.
  20. This will work with vinyl replacement windows if you can't make something yourself. https://www.amazon.com/Ivation-Conditioner-Mounting-Support-Bracket/dp/B07CZH178M/ref=pd_lpo_201_t_0/132-2913667-3794760?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07CZH178M&pd_rd_r=8acf0bc2-38d1-4999-9983-7fe08716a771&pd_rd_w=1y1Va&pd_rd_wg=PHoTe&pf_rd_p=fb1e266d-b690-4b4f-b71c-bd35e5395976&pf_rd_r=W2TA9NM8P4TWWYEZ5GMJ&psc=1&refRID=W2TA9NM8P4TWWYEZ5GMJ
  21. Where can you rent a house on the beach for the first two weeks of July for 5k?
