.56” here ... as far as I know, Bob did not get any rain at all

That strip of rain is slowing sinking towards this area.

Norwood and Canton area getting crushed this weekend.

Drought over in Weymouth

Some decent thunder and some wind.... .0.51” of rain so far

Will those storms make it here?

Yeah... they were tough to read today because they were soaked and standing water on some. I actually played pretty well on Oumet. We will be back to use our rain check

Looks like .31”.... id categorize that as somewhere between “barely enough to wet the grass” and “half decent drink”.

Crosswinds in Plymouth was in tremendous shape... we only played 9 holes because of rain... but really nice layout. Rain check for 9 holes in the future

44 going through Middleboro coming back from golfing in Plymouth was a disaster. Trees down everywhere.:. Multiple accidents... power out

Was playing crosswinds in Plymouth... poured at 2... played through it... they pulled us off the course this time though.

Makes sense.... it hurts someone making 50k a lot more than someone making 150k to not get a raise.

Yeah... the idea was brought up about having the top 10% of earners take a 5% pay cut instead of taking raises away from all the lower level folks. As you can imagine, that was quickly met with a lot of backlash. Call me crazy, but I think it makes more sense to ask your big earners (likely 150k+) a year to take a cut instead of asking guys making 50-60k a year to not get a raise.

We were asked to give up our contractually obligated raises this year. Since I am in a union, it had to be voted on. The overwhelming majority voted to forgo raises to help make up budget shortfalls and hopefully prevent layoffs. From the second we voted to give it back, we’ve regretted it. Working guys to the bone, unrealistic expectations on a skeleton crew, etc etc. No good deed goes unpunished.

Working from home has largely been a joke for many people, especially those that weren’t doing it in any capacity before the pandemic. If we currently go to a hotspot we are to quarantine on our own PTO when we return, since we can’t work from home. Folks who can will just work from home. sucks

I suppose anything is possible, but the lines in our neighborhood are all buried. The box is on the edge of my property and the line is buried under the driveway and comes up next to the electric meter on the other side of the driveway.... probably 30-40 feet away. The tech today replaced the “filter” In the box, whatever that is. Ran all new line from the box to the house... grounded the cable wire... boxes up all the connections on the outside of the house... and added a “booster” inside the house. Im a little annoyed that the previous 4 visits didn’t reveal any of these problems, which this tech said were “pretty clear” I know I’ll probably be out of luck, but I’m going to fight them tooth and nail for some sort of refund. Absolutely crazy.

I mowed today for the first time in like nearly 4 weeks. Weeds were getting high

We moved into this house (new) 18 months ago. Our cable and WiFi has been dog shit since we had it hooked up by x-finity. They’ve been out 5 times in that span and can never figure out the issue. Today... a “senior tech” came out and basically had to re do everything, including replacing wires from the box at the road and all the way into the house. The cable wire wasn’t even grounded!!! I’m beyond frustrated.... I want some sort of refund for the last 18 months.. absolutely crazy that none of this stuff was noticed or fixed right off the bat.

My backyard isn’t that big, so I think a pool is out of the question and the price and timelines now are insane with the amount of pools going in. Maybe down the road if we look to move a pool would definitely be on the list. Probably staying put for now though, obviously.

“Didn’t get below 60.. except when it was 58.”

49 when I left my house at 5:40. Refreshing

Yeah... I think it might be more viable for two people vs a family. The one I was looking at is like 7.99 a person per meal... I guess it all depends on your grocery bill. The cost of groceries has absolutely skyrocketed over the last 6 months or so and with the amount we already pay... might be nice to have 4 concrete meal options a week

Anyone here ever used or currently use a home meal delivery service like hello fresh etc etc? We are looking to reduce waste and maybe even cut costs.... and were wondering if this might be worthwhile?

53 on my thermo as a I left this morning. Can’t remember the last time it felt this refreshing out.

.37 overnight.... welcome drink
