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.

Is this a true story?
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.-

Can you buy a 28000 btu a/c and install into the wall to cool the whole house if it is a single floor? Can probably do that all with the unit for $1500.
Yes, we are looking at that option. May not be that much power, but, yeah. that is an option.

Thinking of going to Troy, NY (or just east). Been there before...very open and a direct route into southern VT. Tough call where to go but certainly somewhere in eastern NY. North may be better just due to proximity to better forcing/dynamics but south may be more unstable.
I was born in, and eventually kicked to the street for adoption in Troy, NY.

I don't think CT has much for putting in AC. The solar people however are ruthless with their door to door thing--I think there's a rebate for that however.
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.

Most AC’s are put up and in Napril. Folks like to get them in and get that chore out of the way. They’ve been needing AC at Stowe this week. How can people in SNE sleep in the high dews and heat?
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.

^Never had RI seafood or Calabrese Italian meals.
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.

Very nice!
This is making the rounds from this weekend...I know these people are in the minority, but there's always at least a few people who have no business being up there and are a serious threat to others.
Shit. That second dude started out of control then was pretty close to getting brained by that rock.

Yea. Frank Pepe’s…
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.-

Damn it more snow! When will it end?
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.

Worst month of the year is over. Napril was another mild one and nice overall . A few cool days , a touch of snow but overall we couldn’t have asked for a better one in general. Onto Mayorch, and installs and dews as we move along.
2 years in a row with decent Napril's. I suppose sh*t winter = tolerable April. I'd rather reverse that though.

You talking about that area that was completely washed out in that pic a few weeks back? That was insane.

...This has pretty much been a pretty decent Napril. If I recall, last Napril was decent as well.

Property taxes in VT are outrageous compared to upstate NY. There are going to be huge increases next year in VT property taxes. Have you looked at the property taxes in Manchester and Dover compared to the Albany area?
A new estimate puts the projected average property tax bill increase next year at more than 20%.
I refuse to believe this. The property taxes on our place in the Adirondacks is jaw dropping.

Some comparisons to 2017 observed in Gallatin Tennessee:
- seemed larger to me, not sure if the moon was closer to us this time
- much more noticeable temp drop in 10 minutes before, I'm estimating 62F to 50F with noticeable breeze
- red solar prominence at 7 o'clock, so cool that everyone saw that
- "shadow snakes" on snow piles, only happened minutes before and after totality
For better or worse, did not even try to photo the eclipse... wanted no distractions from taking it all in during totality so only a set-it-and-forget-it video.
That's me pointing up in the center:
Photo from my brother who flew to Cleveland:
I love the urban shots just as much as the woods/ mountain/ lake shots.
-
...I only spoke to a couple people who didn't bother with viewing the eclipse due to, "what's the big deal", and "who cares, it's just the moon passing by the sun, it happens". I guess I don't understand or connect with this kind of mentality. Is it just me or is it too geek to be pumped up about, and enjoy something like this on high euphoric levels?
I don't think I'm in the minority when I say, these events are WELL worth viewing if you can, and this eclipse was so much better than 2017 for obvious reasons.
