    Not a drop here thankfully. Nice to get a few dry days in a row in.

    No storm action here. Partly cloudy evening. Currently 67/63.

    Partly sunny 73/60 here.

    You probably want to wait it out a bit. Don’t try to catch a falling knife.

    I usually make it until mid October with the daily shorts.

    Mangled flakes on the deck of the abandoned gondola lodge on top of Sugarloaf.

    I agree, wiring and major structural can wreck you in an insurance claim if not signed off on by an inspector. i’ll continue to do my own plumbing and if I spring leak I’ll eat the damages if necessary. It makes you wonder how many illegal tree houses there are in Massachusetts...?

    Shark Bite quick connects are awesome, if you use them correctly. They brought DIY plumbing to a new level. Also legally questionable in MA even though every hardware store in the state carries them. Sweating pipes is a pain in the ass but I’ll still do it if the pipes are going to be enclosed behind walls. Shark bites are only rated for a 20 year gasket life.

    Oh, it’s definitely not tied into my septic system. Lol I love plumbing projects, I find them quite satisfying when they are done and not leaking. I can’t recall any of my relatives ever using a licensed plumber for anything. Three generations of Polish and Lithuanian immigrants who always did all of our own everything. It’s just kind of absurd that a homeowner can do electrical work in their house but not plumbing. I see one as far more dangerous than the other.

    So I was just talking with a friend of mine who is a general contractor. I was telling him about how I just installed an outdoor shower and how I usually do all my own plumbing projects. He told me he does the same but it is actually illegal in Massachusetts to do your own plumbing! I never knew that. He said you are not even supposed to change your own faucets. WTF? Strong plumbers unions I guess? edit: oh' yeah, apparently outdoor showers are also illegal in MA. Lol.

    Yup, good summary!

    Slow motion market meltdown. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/16/the-stock-market-is-undergoing-a-slow-motion-deterioration-with-pockets-of-shares-down-20percent-or-more.html

    I grew up in Cambridge and spent many adult years there but I have a really difficult time going near cities now. 12 years in W MA has lowered my crowds and traffic tolerance.

    Framingham has a bigger population than the entirety of Franklin County which is 700sq/mi. Think about that.

    Had to be, his station would not be covering Barre Vermont unless aliens had landed there.

    Torrential rain here, coming down in sheets.
  18. HIPPYVALLEY
    Good point! There are probably some good spots in the Montague Plains too.

    Poet’s Seat Tower in Greenfield is a great spot to watch severe roll in. You can drive right up the hill to the tower so it’s very accessible on short notice and the views are killer looking West.

    Isn’t Hubby’s area your area?

    I was still in Boston then but I think I remember Will telling me, at a GTG, that storm had an ideal 700mb low track for the CRV.
  22. HIPPYVALLEY
    Yup. We surrounded by big white pines and with some fine local river swimming, it doesn't make sense to mess with a pool. Just like with XC skiing, pool recreation has good years and bad years.

    I've been fortunate enough with timing to have had 6 or 7 sightings in the past 10 years. In the spring we had a juvenile in our yard two mornings in a row. Fun to watch.

    Wagons thankfully went N for t-storms and rain tonight.

    I was in a supermarket parking lot in Sarasota Florida, about 20 years ago and this group of teenagers, walked up to me and asked, “are you the singer from the Spin Doctors?” My GF laughed and I just kind of stared at them with a furrowed brow.
