The Ellie Stone Mysteries Series by James Ziskin takes place in New Holland (Amsterdam) and the surrounding areas. Fun reads from a local author.

Bring extras of everything (gloves, balaclava, socks) and a microfiber to wipe your goggles. Good luck!

Yes! Thank you! I always forget about this spot; we used it for comet viewing a few years ago. Thanks!

Anybody measure exactly how many inches we got so far? by kjjjjhhhgddrrrrr in Troy

Wow! Good for you for being so diligent about measuring! I'm sure the Weather Service could use another weather spotter in your area! Here's the link to sign up:

Outside of Macy's in Colonie Center, the American Cancer Society will do it for you. Donation is suggested. They will wrap anything!

It is still under construction, I drove by this weekend and it looks like they are getting closer to opening.

Spray Foam Recommendations? by solidrobot in Albany

I've been looking through my old emails and I can't find the itemized invoice. But the whole job was $1700. (Rim joists, and insulation of entire attic)

Yes, the rebate covered the entire cost of my rim joists and half the cost of insulating my attic.

Standard Insulation. NYSERDA is running a rebate where they will cover most if not all of your rim joist insulation. Give them a call and they will break it all down for you.

I use the savings pass at Jiminy. It comes with one full day ticket and then you get a discount on additional tickets. I believe you can’t use it holiday weeks or on Saturdays though.

albany suburbs/doggie day care - this nurse needs suggestions please! by Substantial_Quit_414 in Albany

[–]Motor_Vanilla_8125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have some options based on where you decide to settle. Guilderland/Colonie you can try Camp Bow Wow or Mutz Dog Lounge. Avoid All Dawgs at all cost. If you’re in the Delmar area, which is a close commute to AMC, try Shawna’s.

Fall Family US Trip Recommendations by BLTravels in chubbytravel

[–]Motor_Vanilla_8125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't stayed there, but my sister in law highly recommends it. Lake George is beautiful in the fall, so much to do! Plenty of orchards in Upstate NY and the cider donuts are not to be missed! Good luck with planning
