If Final Destination taught me anything...

Assuming you have an electric snowblower... How long does it run for? Slowly converting all my stuff to electric, but it takes me well over an hour to clear my driveway and such, so not sure how many batteries it'd take.

Iced coffee for life. Idc if I need to wear a glove to hold it, I never drink hot coffee.

The town I reside in took 5 weeks (a few years ago now). The town I work in tells people 3-5 months.

I think by state law, it's supposed to take no more than 8 weeks? But towns don't seem to give a crap.

Found the Uconn grad!

Decided to spend my daily Dunkin alottment of money on a cool little Ninja coffee brewer that makes iced coffee (all I drink, regardless of temps outside) at home.

In two months, I've already made my money back. And the one time I went to DD, I realized just how trash their coffee is compared to something you can grab from the grocery store and make yourself.

Lived on Oahu for 4 years, yet here I am back in CT. The #1 draw was family. Having nearby relatives is a lifesaver sometimes.

Not sure I'd ever get sick of the perfect weather & beaches of Hawaii. Could definitely do without the traffic, cost of living, & $1500/18+ hour flights to visit family. And road trips... You can go in a million circles, but it's always the same sights

I've never gotten turned around at Mohegan, but I literally just got lost trying to get to a restaurant at Foxwoods yesterday with my kids.

And that damn outlet mall.... The hallways to nowhere.

100% haha. Just hoping I don't end up reading in bed till 2am like this morning. Because those same kids that pass out right at 1215 will also come running in at 7am.

Where's your go-to Korean BBQ place?

Lived in Seoul years ago, and always am left disappointed by the recommendations I've been given.

Friends house for some food & drinks while the kids play together.

Hopefully home by 930 so I can change into comfy clothes & fall asleep on the couch until my preteen wakes my wife & I up a few minutes prior to midnight

You got down voted by someone who doesn't understand just how much fun track days are.

Got to experience a few with my motorcycle. It's more of a class/hands on training thing, but you learn so much! As opposed to just holding the steering wheel straight & pushing your foot to the floor along 384.

Where was it supposed to go?

There's still speciality plates that can be a bit gaudy. But those cost extra

Our freezers luckily stay cold for over 24hrs, but we tried putting our refrigerated items outside & things froze within an hour. Oh well, it was worth the shot!

Had a text saying power was restored around 730 this evening. That is false, so I had to resubmit a power outage, likely putting us to the back of the line.

Family & I are having a "camp out" by the wood stove, but pretty sure all the food we had prepped for the holiday weekend is going to be a total loss.

And I'm sure getting the $250 back for wasted food is like pulling teeth.

They're going to try & do that anyways, without any major improvement. So.... While they're at it, why not.

You keep getting recommendations for Manchester, so here's another one: Randy's Wooster St Pizza is kind of a cool spot for kids. I know mine get a big kick out of the free matchbox car with their kids meals.

You're a good person.

If you can't find a charitable place to give the clothes away to, check & see if your town has a "buy nothing, sell nothing" Facebook page. We were able to pass on a ton of our kid's clothes & toys as they outgrew them.

I think the EPA came out some years ago & said burning firewood was carbon neutral.

I don't think it's carbon neutral, but if wood is harvested in a sustainable & responsible way, it's certainly not the worst way to heat a house

I've seen a huge one in Bigelow Hollow SP. My dog noticed it first. It was impressive watching that big thing slowly crawl up a tree.

I looked into it years ago, having law enforcement experience in the military. At the time, I believe they also required a degree as well. It's a tough position to get, due to limited numbers & a lot of qualified applicants.

If you just want to be do law enforcement in nature a lot, take a look at VT State Police. Met a few while at snowmobile checkstops & they were pitching applying. The highlights were you get issued a truck, boat, quad, kayak, & snowmobile... Basically everyone else works for. Things might have changed, that was likely a decade ago.

You're correct! Just saw a posting from the local FD & they're $65. Whew. We've rocked a fake tree for the past years, so I didn't realize prices had gone up so much!

Find a local fire department that's selling them. I think they are like $35-40 & it really helps fund their agency.

The problem is that they're not prosecuting firearm crimes. Guy just got sentenced yesterday after attempting to rob a guy & pointing a gun at his head... 8 years. Can't figure out what "positive attributes" this guy could possibly have.
