Not BX, but the GYX site has lost (temporarily, one hopes) the drop-down menus for observations/radar, etc., over the past two days. They worked for a few hours yesterday but are unavailable so far today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW_of_GYX Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Duluth, Minnesota is basically Portland, ME circa 2013 but add two ski hills and a ton of mountain biking in city limits. Old industrial city on a big a** waterbody slowly gentrifying. Time to buy real estate here is now imo. Yesterday’s 40 degrees turned into a breezy 70 degrees and sunny.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the great lakes, wished I lived near one, especially lee side that gets lake effect, but fishing is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I’ve only seen Lake Ontario near Toronto, Lake Erie near Cleveland and Lake Michigan near Chicago. However, the second week of June we are driving out to Green Bay through Ontario and the U.P. so we will be doing some sightseeing around Huron, Superior and Michigan. I’d love to go to Duluth and even Thunder Bay but it won’t be this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 So a baby chipmunk gets into our house the other day, cat probably played with it and got bored and it ran under the fridge. My wife kept the cat in a room and made a path for the chipmunk to go out the door but its panics when she opens the door and runs into a bedroom. For two days she keeps the bedroom door closed to keep the cat away and periodically tries to catch it to put it outside, no luck. Yesterday morning it's by the door looking weak, she puts it outside with some food, 10 minutes later, it's gone, she thinks she saved the poor little chipmunk. Two hours later the cat brings the chipmunk onto the porch, dead. So we had a chipmunk living in our house for two days and ended up on our porch, dead anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up, but it involved going on the browser's "settings", typing "cache" in the search line, then emptying everything in my cache. Since that would smoke all of my passwords, among other things, I didn't care to comply. I'm probably missing something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 My project is done. Stripped off the 40 year old siding, put on insulated house wrap, taping the seems, installed new siding, a new picture window and 3 new basement windows. The final bill will come in a little over $18K. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the strip over the sliding door in back, they are still waiting for the last box of vinyl from the distributor. An entire box for one long piece and it was supposed to be on the last three delivery trucks. They'll come back to install that when it comes in.

amarshall Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Just got home from Florida and my house is covered in pollen. I always thought pine pollen was late June. What is the pollen we're seeing now? Don't want to powerwash the deck until its all gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Pine pollen isn't that bad for my allergies, it's the pollen I can't see that bother me although my car covered in yellow isn't great at least I don't get congested from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I was just looking at SSTs/OHC for the Gulf potential and noticed our region. It’s crazy. Even for our relatively cold neck of the woods it’s a blowtorch. All in about a month too… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much of the UP is national forest or park or lakeshore or state land. The size and distances of the states outside of New England are mind bending.
