moneypitmike Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Well, my year of R/R is doomed. I've taken a position in Boston to keep me occupied through early May. I'll then have about 6 weeks before I can start my new gig upon the expiration of my non-compete. I'll be in Boston M, T and TH, back at the Pit the other days. I wonder how long it will take for the Monday night in Boston to grow old.... Nice evening out there. 64.1/55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Isn't it an older house? It is. I believe it was built by the Harkness family long ago. I like the hilltop prospect, but it has strange geometry. Definitely not classic New England. Apparently, it suffered significant damage to its first floor from waves during the '38 hurricane, which is pretty astounding considering how high up it is.

During Hurricane Sandy the lighthouse keeper reporter the spray from the waves enveloped and went over the house. Look at that pic and picture that.

Ginx snewx Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Pretty arousing stuff.Standing at the lighthouse right after Sandy some 35 feet above the water and seeing a wave water line on the lighthouse at my eye level and looking down at the ground eroded by waves really gave me a feel for the immense power of that storm. There were Volkswagen size boulders thrown over the seawall. In one of my pics you can see they are still rebuilding the wall. There is Sandy restoration sign up at the lighthouse. The lighthouse keep told us a harrowing tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had that great anomalous easterly jet, plus coastal trapping and funneling of waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, when looking at an older image of the house, it fit its environs better. I would also love to see post-Sandy pics of the boulders. There's a house on the south shore of FI that is on a sand bluff and in danger of falling into the ocean. The owners had it moved back fifty feet from the edge in fall 2012. Sandy came along three weeks later and now the house is back on the edge. No way to move it this time. Next hurricane that comes along will be its end. A sad day that will be. Beautiful twelve bedroom built in the '20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Harkness summer house in Waterford, CT is a beaut. It's great they made that into a state park. I spent many a day there--great memories. What happened to the year off? You'll become intimately familiar with every nuance of Rt 2... Well, we figured we could tighten our belts and do it. But, I guess I just couldn't go without Cinemax and Game of Thrones. On a serious note, I did not like having a year gap on my resume, and it is a lot easier on the financial front to be doing so. Having over two months off straight sure didn't suck, though. But, I will have another chunk of time on the back end before I begin my permanent gig. In the end, it'll be about 3-3.5 months that I will have had off. It's amazing how sucky traffic is once you get east of I-190 and progressively worse as you go in. I'm glad I won't be doing it every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Lol. A notorious radiator in the Litchfield hills. Yeah I guess. That would be the colder spot by a long shot it seems.
