  1. most stations over 2" so far round here. Will definitely see some totals over 4"after this next wave goes through
  2. Smoke isn't very noticeable down this way. Bright and sunny.....86/66. Some WU spots nearby showing 90 Worked in an attic this morning replacing 2 bathroom fans....That was pleasant.
  3. Mine is steaming like a hot tub right now. Haven't seen that before
  4. Turn turned into a way nicer day here than was expected. Fair amount of sun and blue skies to go with the clouds. Still super tropical 81/73
  5. yeah, been breaks of blue and actual sun here for the last hour or so. Hardly any measurable rain overnight in the Bridgewater triangle area. Very tropical though...76/73
  6. Me, Bob and Brett (TBlizz) having a strategy session on stealing everyone's snow this winter.
  7. The filter cleans the water whether it's above the skimmer or not. But anything floating on the surface won't get picked up by the skimmer if the opening is covered. I also don't want the water to find a way behind the liner and the steel walls if it gets high enough. At the end of the day, it's probably not the end of the world if it gets too high but that's just how I am
  8. Same here. Had to run home to put the pump in and get it down below the skimmer. What a summer!
  9. About 2" here, but very tropical.... 72/71 and no wind at all
  10. My son's guitar teacher is playing there from 5 to 8. Tell Dan that I (Matt) said hi if you're still there At York Beach for the week. Dry all day today, just miserable cold and windy. Lots of people without much to do
  11. Pool is refreshing this afternoon.... )
  12. Hopefully dry off the yards and basements in SEMA....
  13. .53" from that monsoon. Some good thunder and lightning. Bob is about 5 miles to my south and got .02" () Edit: Brett is a few miles to my north and said he got over an inch
  14. 84/71.... Not fun working outside at all today, especially when the sun comes out
  15. 75/49......this is how it should be every day
  16. He's baaaaaack........stay safe everyone
  17. Very sad news. Met him at a GTG a few years ago around the holidays. The forum definitely won't be the same without him. Can't wait for the first James Storm that buries Harwich, Cape Cod MA
  18. Eric Fisher gave you a shout out at 6:15
  19. I was at UMiami from 92-94. I went to the UM/FSU game in Tallahassee in 93 when C Ward kicked out ass. That stadium was amazing. FSU seemed like an awesome place to go to school Ray Lewis was in my geography class. I probably walked by The Rock a few times but he wasn't famous. All the football players drove brand new Mercedes. I'm sure it was because their families had tons of money
  20. To be clear....they aren't giving journeyman electrician licenses away. It's a pretty tough, time consuming process. Definitely a huge commitment. Much harder than anything I ever had to do in college. 8000 hours/4 years working as an apprentice and 600 hours of school just to be able to take the journeyman test. Then, after I had my journeyman for a couple years I did another 150 hours of school and took my Masters test.
  21. I went to a very good prep school in RI from 6-12 grade, graduated college in 4 years and tried working for awhile in my field (Communication/Journalism). I hated it. Long story short I ended up going back to school (NE Tech) and have been an electrician for about 17 years. The money is definitely better and, for me, it's just a much more enjoyable way to make a living. It would be nice if kids went into the trades coming out of HS instead of taking on $200k in student loans only to get a job that pays $40k a year. I guess it's not very glamorous though
  22. I'm a master electrician been working for myself for about 8 years. Everytime I go for a code update class they tell us the average age of licensed electricians in MA is something like 54 or 55. They are definitely not enough kids coming into the trade and the demand will only increase as all these older folks retire
