Cold Miser

55 here at work. When I left this am (around 530) it was in the 40s.

I spoke to my mom. She is high enough to not be affected, but I will be checking her basement.

Very ominous here in Manchester, but mainly N/W of my work. A few lighting strikes in the distance.

Not for another 5 or 6 years. That was the set list for Foxboro Stadium in 1992.

My mom just texted me to say a black bear just walked on her patio by her back door which was open. This was in Southbury.

I'm going tonight with my son and a few friends. Can't wait! You will have a good time. I've seen them 6 times, but all between 1986 and 1992. The last time was the Metallica/ Guns & Roses / Faith No More tour at the old Foxboro stadium. That stadium tour was the show of the year back then...tough ticket to get. I think of the entire stadium tour, only 4 or so cities did not completely sell out...probably in the mid-west. All kinds of drama during it as well, a pyro incident and Hetfield's arm, Axl Rose doing tool-ish Axl Rose sh.it (puking on stage and causing trouble), and I think Faith No More getting fired from the tour shortly after the Foxboro show. The singer pissed on some stage equipment or something like that. Quick, dumb story about it...I was in college at the time, and when I got back to campus my friends were all laughing, telling me I was on the news. ...Apparently, there was a reporter in the parking lot, interviewing people before the show. I was in the background, leaning up against a tree, smoking a joint, and holding a can of Bud. They saw it on the 11pm news. You will probably never see a set list as awesome as this again (even with the meh tunes)... Creeping Death Harvester of Sorrow Sanitarium Sad But True (meh) Wherever I may Roam Of Wolf and Man For Whom The Bell tolls Unforgiven Shortest Straw Fade To Black Master of Puppets Seek & Destroy Whiplash Nothing Else Matters (meh) Am I Evil Last Caress One Sandman (meh) Some instrumental solos in there somewhere

Same. It's awful.

...Throw the Cat 5 'cane in there and the state is no more.

Serious question...When ever he expresses concern, has it ever been justified? Meaning, have drought conditions adversely affected our region as a whole in a manner where the end result has been dire, and legit doom to plant life? Has their been suffering and pain due to a New England drought during the lifetime of Stein? I'm not talking about backyard herb garden drought and famine.

...Was going to the Metallica show tonight at Gillette, but now, not so sure I want to endure banging my head with 60k people dressed in black (mostly dudes) in the late afternoon during satanically hot, and hellish heat. But, if I wait until the Sunday show I will surely be riding the lightning while the storms pass right over the stadium. Either way it's a loss.

It was a good couple of months while it lasted...Now on to TP sticking to butt cracks, and rivers of sweat rolling off of the dome.

Yes, although I wasn't literally kicked to the street. I would have been too young to fend for myself. If I was not adopted, and somehow survived in that dead-end city, By age 19, my body would have been found floating down the Hudson...bloated, and full of track marks. Possibly missing a limb, or at least a finger or 2.

Yes, we are looking at that option. May not be that much power, but, yeah. that is an option.

I was born in, and eventually kicked to the street for adoption in Troy, NY.

We met with a mini-split dealer/ installer last night. There was a rebate of around $700 but only if we did the heat/ac heat pump combo. This was for a single, 1 ton condenser, and single head, so I don't know if the rebate increases proportionately somehow with an increase in unit size. The cost to purchase and install this single unit was silly. He wanted 8.5 k for the a.c. only unit, and 10.5 for the ac/ heat unit. 12k/1 ton for a single floor of a very small house.

lol...But as THE dew lover and master of all that is sticky and moist you should be able to thrive in the hig dews and high heat without man-made creature comforts.

...Early ac install, but Sunday, I took apart the window unit and cleaned it, so I might as well install now before it gets nasty.

I think people try to equate the R.I. pizza strip/slice (cold "pizza"), with normal, baked pizza. Back in the late 80's when I first had R.I. pizza, I was like, wtf is this? How is this a thing? Cold bread with sauce, and maybe a bit of parmesan cheese sprinkled on it. Over the years I came to appreciate this uniquely r.i. dish.

If he was looking to remove those trees, he just saved him self $1,000's of dollars.

Shit. That second dude started out of control then was pretty close to getting brained by that rock.

The original Pepe's. The Manchester chain spot has turned to sh.it. The sauce tastes ass, and really thin. The pie was embarrassing. Overpriced, and not much better than Red Barron. Last time I went to the Mohegan one it was o.k., but nothing like the original, New Haven shop.

Indeed. The 15" I received this past season on top of the whopping 11" from last season want to know when the madness will end.

2 years in a row with decent Napril's. I suppose sh*t winter = tolerable April. I'd rather reverse that though.

I've often wondered who Sam Hell is. Dreary and 58F here at work.
