    Need a higher res picture to enlarge but maybe a yellow mud-dauber? Unless it is a yellow jacket or white faced hornet nest I try to leave them alone. A lot of hornets and wasps are good for killing non-beneficial insects. "Solitary" ground wasps/hornets are generally beneficial for the local ecosystem.

    A few years ago we got our house completely re-insulated and sealed plus all new lightbulbs for free through the MassSave program. they also gave us a no interest loan for a new furnace. People should definitely take advantage of these programs while they are active. I wish we could’ve taken advantage for the great solar programs in Mass but our yard has a few too many trees.

    Same thing all over Cape Cod. In some cases they build almost exact replicas of the older houses they tear down on the coast line.

    Ya' a good old direct hit from an X class solar flare should level the automation playing field on planet Earth. I mean why not right? DIT and others can wish for a 1938 Hurricane why can't I cheer on a Carrington type event?

    I'm guessing 50% of remaining independent bars and restaurants go under this winter. Sad but true.

    Yeah, I'm probably going full in on the Berkshire East/Catamount/Bosquet unlimited pass tomorrow. It's a great price and I'm pretty sure the Schaefer family will ensure things stay open unless it is absolute armageddon.

    Ski resorts are going to be screwed if they start f'n around with season passes. Limiting sales is one thing but if you start changing the rules mid-season you are opening yourself up to lawsuits no matter how many disclaimers you have in the contract. So far no word from Berkshire East and their subsidiaries about any Covid restrictions. Makes me nervous because I only have 2 more days to buy the pass at a discount.

    I had to pick it up myself but I scored 2 1/2 cords of well seasoned hardwood for $400 total. Going rate around Greenfield right now is close to $300 / cord for seasoned which is pretty high. Doesn’t really make any sense that there is somewhat of a wood shortage this year because last year was mild. Two of the Wood guys I spoke to said that people were kind of hoarding it this year which is absurd. Toilet paper is one thing but the pandemic and firewood supplies should be a non-issue.

    Just light rain on the Cape for about 2 hours.

    Aren’t there some climatologists that claim the last Ice Age came on very quickly based on ice core samples?

    I may go ahead and buy the Sun-Fri Berkshire East season passes for the family this week. I don't know what conditions this winter will bring but under $1200 for the 3 of us is a good deal. If school is virtual all winter I anticipate a lot of afternoon trips to the mountain.

    Check out the look on the dog’s face at the end of the video I posted. He was like, “I thought we were done with this shit for the year!”

  22. HIPPYVALLEY
    I accidentally put my snow posts in the May thread but holy shit! Squall just came through with with moderate snow for about five minutes!

    Heath MA has 900 people and has a police department.
