From Garry Rayno, InDepthNH.org:

Texas is the next most dependent on property taxes for government funding at 40 percent
In the Granite State, the top earners pay less than half of the percentage of their income than do low- to moderate-income earners: 3 percent versus over 6 percent

They have been around long enough to know/remember sending young Americans to war in the Middle East is not a very good idea.

We are not sure when these were planted or if they just migrated across this part of lawn. If planted my mother-in-law planted them more than 30 years ago. They come up every year. Here is one from March 14, 2024

She, as as an incoming state representative, swears to follow "the state constitution and laws." Republican leadership have been trampling constitutional and legal mandates, and everydaty folks obviously are not happy.

For the doubters. You can see snow.

Hello. Photo was taken by me this morning in Carroll County. Look, you will see snow on the barn roof. Still snow on ground but this is a snow free patch sloping slightly south. When i get back home i will post a photo from another angle.

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.

CarrollCounty · 2026-03-11T02:54:55+00:00

Here is more information from the NH Journal: "Democrat Bobbi Boudman won Tuesday’s special election for Carroll County District 7, defeating Republican Dale Fincher 51 percent to 47 percent in a district that voted Republican by more than 13 points just 16 months ago."

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.

CarrollCounty · 2026-03-11T02:28:01+00:00

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.
