STILL N OF PIKE Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Anyone following the story of the missing (unaccounted for) 14 million dollars in the Brockton school budget , now they are going to look at the 50 Million in Covid funds that was spent and find a paper trail for that . Seems like 7 members of the school board have to sign off to varying degrees on expenses . The mayor said there was a going to be a large upheaval in “school district leadership“. Looks slimy , audit incoming but my guess is there has to be many involved or very incompetent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty rough look for a district that had to lay off over 100 staff due to budget cuts before the 14 million even went missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanks45 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 My wife and I can't decide where to take our 4 kids the last week of September. There are tons of Airbnb options from the Cape cod area to cabins on a lake. We typically travel late Spring/early summer, but we have some time now late September. Any thoughts from the locals? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Far from being a local, but I would think that by late Sept, Cape Cod Bay would be warmer than most inland lakes in New England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 @dendriteI’m watching a short doc about an apple orchard in Woodstock, VT. They are showing all the care they do with the trees throughout the year. They just showed the grafting process. Have you ever done any grafting with your trees? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 15 hours ago, mreaves said: Nice. This is how this orchard grafts. I didn’t realize it could be done on such a large limb. Those are bark grafts. You slip the bark when the sap gets flowing, cut a wedge into your scion, and then slide it in and make sure you have good cambium contact. Usually they graft 2 or 3 pieces on and keep the most vigorous one, but maybe they’re going for something different there? All of the apple and pear grafts I’ve done are whip and tongue on single rootstocks. There’s lots of different ways to graft, but in most cases you want the sap flowing in your rootstock and then you graft a dormant scion onto that. That way the rootstock is ready to go and pushes the growth through the scion wood. I field grafted a few pawpaws this year, but they’re a little finicky. They prefer consistent temps around 80° to graft and callous off whereas apples are early spring. Middle pic is actually a cleft graft since it was a little too low to get a good whip and tongue on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always done beach trips, Delaware to Hatteras so we always had warmer water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always done beach trips, Delaware to Hatteras so we always had warmer water. The Cape has a ton of beautiful kettle ponds as well, with the nice sandy bottom. Good spot for both fresh and salt water fishing, or swimming. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
