I noticed it when I went to harbor freight... I will never set foot in it.

40 million people probably spreads it out more.

Best - lots of trees and animals

Worst - still too many people

I'll get that same model then. Home depot has it in stock with free shipping. I'll order spacers after the fact if they're needed. Thanks!

Goldfinches started changing yellow (the males) and singing, I love those little guys. They're so helpless and delicate but a few managed to stick it out here all winter. Now more are migrating back.

I want these.

Do you know what hole spacing and length you got? I measured with a ruler and the centers of the bolts installed right now are exactly 3 inches apart but the listing for my model ST1336DLE says 2.75".

I know some generic replacement skid shoes from Lowes fit so it's probably the same for most or all Ariens models.

How does this apply to well water? Groundwater contamination restrictions?

Pittsfield heavy and wet snow, about an inch so far. Shoveling left a slippery layer of slush behind.

Snow this morning in Pittsfield is very wet and heavy. Less than an inch but still a struggle to shovel. Driving to polls is not going to be fun, I'll probably die.

Edit: I lived. Roads not that bad yet. Well they're bad but I'm used to it.

How about that thing the supreme court said they were supposed to fix like 20 years ago and still haven't? School funding or something.

Not yet I haven't had any temps over 50, but I do crack a window every morning since the birds started singing.

Death is not the worst of evils.

I don't drink so you'll have no problem there.

Are you offended by my tales of how I keep my driveway?

Well it's not exactly optional, either deliver packages or quit and find a better job.

Ice is fine, that's what I do with my snowblower. Leave an inch or two of compacted snow and let it freeze. It doesn't make it any more difficult to drive in and I either use shoe spikes or there's enough snow left on the surface that it isn't slippery.

I put cat litter down around the area leading to my door if it gets really slippery so delivery drivers don't slip.

good I can drive right over it then

I have had more problems with plow guys... nobody can do a gravel driveway without shearing off the top layer and leaving it in a pile at the end. I'd pay $100+ for every plowing if someone could come at the right time (after the snow stops) and do it carefully.

I fired 4 of them and ended up just buying a 36" snowblower so I can do it myself in about 2 hours, not counting all the shoveling.

I'm not touching it until tomorrow

> said lane is NOT made for your staging/launch speed zone during heavy traffic.

Are you sure? I always thought that it was allowed to pull into a center lane to merge. It feels safer because it's a wide turn and I like to give my mirror a second check to make sure the right lane is still clear.

Farms go up for sale occasionally around me, northeast of Concord / southern lakes region. The only one I see listed right now is some land.

There's a persistent myth that people in Berlin speak French but its not true, not within my lifetime at least. The main language of communication in all of NH is English, even in parts with the most French ancestry.

Cardinal singing in the morning. I hear it every day in NH except during winter when they don't really sing. Although once I slammed a door at night and a cardinal must have woken up and belted out a few tunes in surprise, maybe he was dreaming about singing.

Putting in a commuter train to Boston will fix this. Nobody will want to move up here from Mass after that.
