I have a 5 year old son but the whites are a 3 hour haul for us but points south are easily attainable.

What will you be displaying ? This is right in my back yard

If I was taking the course, I would focus on the "cape (cod)" style of house. While not as fashionable as many others, I would call it " New England's house name and all. I am working in a whole village of them right now in Montague Center MA. Cape's have been being built since the 1600's and...

I always seem to get in trouble with the wife every time I take something out of the kitchen for "other" uses. A batttery powered mattress inflator would make one heck of a blower for that thing.... but you want an stove not a smelter. You can run computer CPU cooling fans with a 9 volt...

If no one needs the power how do they plan on getting the revenue ? I doubt there will be much revenue from a power line with no customer

Just because the population is shrinking does not mean that power demand isn't growing. There are all sorts of new gadgets and devices becoming available everyday that require electricity thus leading to an ever increasing demand. How many people have installed some form of AC in the north...

Well said lol We are all in this mess together

about 18" here it was fairly wet and heavy for 18" of snow I managed to get stuck twice plowing today once in a flat parking lot so yeah it was fairly heavy. im going to snow shoe across my field tomorrow just to say I used them. Last year we didn't get enough snow where I lived and I didn't...

The 1894 marker must have been installed by the state of Massachusetts during a survey of the northern border. I can think of one near identical marker installed on the border between Vernon,VT and Bernardston, MA It would be interesting for somebody with a GPS to check both markers and see...

I'm going to guess you have never participated in logging activities before, and I'm not trying to be insulting by saying that. Unless we are talking about two different things here there was never a need to do any sort of lay out on a skid trail and skidding of logs would not have been done by...

yeah but until you starting putting serial numbers on car parts to prove the cat was stolen out of a specific vehicle its pretty tough to prove accessory, even if its sitting on the counter when the police walk in. tens (hundreds?)of thousands (at least) of cars get scrapped or parted out every...

hmmm, I guess its not much of a problem for hikers if its in the ocean of course its a bit of a supply problem for consumers when the wind doesn't blow or it blows to hard. If the generation already exists in Canada I would like to think its going to be cheaper and over all less detrimental to...

I doubt it and hope that was a joke. It's a big jump to graduate from petty theft to mugging some one, muggings also carry a lot stiffer penalties. I think ( but don't know) that most break ins at trail heads are opportunity crimes carried out by lazy people and punk kids. They would find it...

If you have about $50,000( duramax diesel) to spend a new 2500HD will do all you want and the diesel is capable of about 25mpg. I have 195,500 hard miles on my 02 2500hd( gas motor) and its still going strong. It has skid plates but I have never had to use them. however at 12MPG is not to cheap...

This was and still is my fathers philosophy noting in his truck is worth more then a broken window. same is true for me 90% of the time.

I recall seeing a proposal to run a line down the Hudson river, but I think southern NH is in need of the power the most so the Hudson is a bit out of the way. I don't think the CT river is deep enough for that approach to work. Its going to become a bigger issue in March of 2012 if the 680MW...

more drift on your drift. I didn't think engineers needed to demonstrate code compliance and if so I wonder what the specific issue is 15KVish is a pretty common supply voltage and should have lots of off the shelf solutions I think they can bury 300KV cables its just unimaginably expensive...

Burying lines is very expensive I think the last person I talked to said 10X the cost but that's as un official as estimates get. I think its also way more intrusive to install and repair buried lines.

on a mildly related note. I have been seeing a lot of bagged poop on the trail. Im assuming is dog poop but perhaps not :eek: whats the point of bagging up poop to just leave the poop filled plastic bag on the side of the trail ? Its never going to biodegrade wrapped in plastic. I usually...

its been a long time (10 + years) since I spent a winters night in a sleeping bag. However I was able to go at least 10-15 degrees below my backs rating ( 0 I think) just by using a wool blanket as a liner. However I also slept in my long johns wool socks and a hat WMMV
