    I’m guessing people start working in the bigger new construction firms and then some decide to become their own boss and start their own plumbing, electrical, carpentry businesses?

    I disagree. At least around here Getting into the local vocational school (our son went) is hard. Not enough spots. He is continuing his education to go into the construction field Very competitive My district has its own vocational part and that is always full.

    We need...a Shrubbery!! Does it matter what type of surface is underneath my weather station? Yes, the surface type affects the temperature measured at your station. Generally speaking, black surfaces (asphalt, black shingles) measure warmer temperatures than lighter colored surfaces (gravel, grey shingles). Ideally, your weather station should be placed 5 feet over short grass or low shrubs.

    MA Covid numbers have been much better the last week or so. Below 2% positive. Hopefully that spike was short lived. Im hoping to be able to work with my students in person at least part time of this keeps up. Still can’t do labs though. I ran the sprinklers for a while today. Hadn’t needed to do that in a while

    Maybe we can gin up some early season snow on the picnic tables
  13. HoarfrostHubb
    Yeah. They usually are a late June/early July thing here but I saw a couple the other night

    More grasshoppers than typical but nothing like that amount
  15. HoarfrostHubb
    I’m sure it has happened. But would be tough to do based on what I have seen. 95 is rare enough here

    If/when we get a generator I would set it up to power our well, our fridge, our furnace, and maybe 1 or 2 outlets. I’m ballparking $1500 for the generator itself and about the same for an electrician to wire it up correctly. Sound reasonable? I still question getting one but we have been dodging bullets since 2008 at my house

    Mosquitoes have been no big deal here. Deer flies almost gone. Horse flies at the pool suck but they haven’t been bad. Grasshoppers have been insane here Also, our chipmunk population collapsed. It was huge in the spring and early summer. Almost gone now

    “How much does a Public School Teacher make in Massachusetts? The average Public School Teacher salary in Massachusetts is $63,403 as of July 27, 2020, but the range typically falls between $55,351 and $73,196. Salary ranges can vary widely “ Wow. Mass was very close. Most contracts are 185-190 days. I think mine is 187. So yeah...around $35 per hour. That’s for Master’s level degree.
  23. HoarfrostHubb
    No where near that in my hood, but our cost of living isn’t as high I’m guessing. I’m 20+ years in and make under $80k. I have never had an issue with my pay. It is fine. Benefits are good but we self fund our pension >95%. I do wish the city could pay for materials, texts, technology etc. hire more paras and tutors. More guidance counselors and other support staff are sorely needed. So many kids come from really tough households.

    Summer of yore. Hasn’t been super hot here, but has stayed warm overnight ORH is +5.3F for the month. One +10 departure

    Lots of subs won’t be doing it. Already a short supply
