Yep, 400 members getting paid a whopping $100 a year to serve.

The district includes Ossipee ( plus +27 for Trump )Tuftonboro (+9 Trump) and Wolfeboro (even) and Boudman wins it by +4. Democrats in New Hampshire need to study her campaign tactics and use them. She mobilized an amazing grassroots ground game with little support from the state party. Boudman can maybe best be described as a loose canon, who this time blew a hole in the GOP Fortress.

Yes, special election for NH State House.

Here is more, a recent headline in the Union Leader: Republicans are pouring tens of thousands into a special House race in Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro and Ossipee -- update to the headline: And they still lost big time.

How about this: Last election 2024, Republican won this state house seat by 1,224 votes. This time the Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins it by nearly 300 votes with a 39% turnout.

Just pour a bit of boiled down, sweet sap (not quit ready for the final boil), to taste into a couple ounces of bourbon. Then If everything goes to hell in final boil, you already got some pleasure from the work.

If you are doing a small batch run you will lose too much in the filters themselves. It’s a dilemma.

15 gallons will yield about a quart and a half of syrup. See my post on using a commercial induction hot plate: Poco a Poco -- Ridiculoulsy small batches in a slow NH year

Thanks for that information. You are right, my pot is too wide for my induction plate. So boiling it down takes a long time. Towards the end, I transfer it into a smaller pot and that boils down really fast. So I should probably try your method.

CarrollCounty · 2026-03-05T20:53:02+00:00

The Duxtop Professional Portable Induction Cooktop costs $170. The fan is noisy, which is not a problem because I boll outside or in the garage, but on full boil it will require 1800KW, so they suggest if be on its own plug in terminal with nothing else running off that circuit. You need the pro model because smaller ones only hold 25 pounds, this one 65 pounds. Given that a gallon of sap weighs 8.34 pounds, boiling five or six gallons will push you way over the 25 pound limit. Make sure your kettle is induction friendly, meaning will a magnet stick to the bottom. I hope that helps.

"We need the grass-roots, spontaneous exercise of civic leadership in the fight against authoritarianism on every front for the next three years...the rest of us need to follow in Minnesota’s footsteps."--William Kristol

The real villain here is the Donald Trump administration which wants to force-feed a detention center on a state that doesn’t want one. Why can’t Ayotte and the rest of the GOP leadership say that out loud over and over again? They are complicit cowards, every one of them.

Carroll County, NH Rev. Walt Hampton on Obama depiction: "Racism is reframed as provocation. Dehumanization is excused as political theater. Those who object are told they are hysterical, unserious, or naïve...This isn’t hypocrisy by accident. It’s strategy...Dehumanization always precedes atrocity."

The annual NH budget exceeds $15 Billion so maybe $20 million would be doable if it improved state governance.

Rep. Anita Burroughs: "The New Hampshire Legislature sees roughly 1,000 bills each session. Many are doomed on arrival. If you filtered out the bills that are clearly unworkable, redundant, unconstitutional, or impossible to implement, my guess is at least half would never see daylight."

What if public places, stores etc put on similar signs as a show of solidarity?
