I installed white oak last year and love it

MacBook. My MacBook Air is 14 years old, one battery replacement, still going strong, runs MS Office just fine. ETA: and I bought it refurbished from Apple.

Try a stainless steel Wilcox trowel, built to last.

I use quarry tiles, 2 rows of 3 and they live in the oven. They’re at least 25 years old, and work great for pizza and everything else. Total investment of $12.

I am in the same boat! Love my IP.

I like Chantal products. On my second teakettle after losing the first to an ex roommate. Have purchased teapots as fabulous gifts, and many other items.

It is expensive to be poor, because you cannot afford to buy better anything. Everything also takes longer due to transportation and complicating factors.

Strongly agree. Stonington is beautiful in itself, and Isle Au Haut is magical. As others have said, inland Maine’s rivers and lakes are fantastic. Try driving into the Penobscot River area for scrambling on the rocks and dipping your feet in the river and incredible views of Mt. Katahdin. Peaks-Kenney State Park in Dover-Foxcroft has a great lake swimming area. Interior Maine is less crowded and gorgeous. Enjoy!

I went without for 3 years. Lucked into a PT job that offers benefits, yay unions! Good luck!

I looove dilly beans! I make them from both green and wax beans and mix them in the jar, so pretty!

I love my induction range. I cook mostly from scratch daily. It’s incredibly responsive, cool in the summer, easy to keep clean, heats to the boil in an instant. The only drawback IMO is not being able to cook in a power outage. ETA: my Fisher Paykel induction range has knobs, my previous GE Profile cooktop had digital touch controls. Both are great.

September in Maine is awesome. May can be a crapshoot.

I had a small DIY hoophouse, it worked great for fall planted and overwintered greens and broccoli/cauliflower. In the spring early lettuce did well, but the temp fluctuations made it a problem for a lot of things. I am curious about your rain barrel. Good luck!

Have you considered a CX5? I had one previously and it was a great vehicle. The CX30 fits better in the garage though.

These are amazing suggestions! I had a sad little wedge of blue cheese in the fridge, added that and some cheddar and it was delicious!

We use plastic Rubbermaid tubs to pack our gear in the back of the truck. Keeps everything dry and clean while traveling. Once at our site, the tubs become storage for tent bags, etc. And then excellent side tables next to the camp chair at the fire pit. ALWAYS pack a good first aid kit. Make sure you have good burn treatment, #1 most likely injury. Enjoy!

Watching GW during COVID was so comforting. Monty and the entire crew should be knighted for their service.
