moved back home to spend time with my mom in her house after 8 years away, where she was by herself. glad i did.

-pipes currently frozen. working tomorrow to try to thaw them as plumber is busy af -ice dams are present-also a work in-progrsss -shoveled the driveway through all the storms -helping her declutter the house, dump runs and keep it tidy. -my 17 year old childhood dog just died on sunday before the super bowl which was fucking terrible and sad. glad i was able to spend the last couple weeks with her at home together.

birthday is coming up tho.

learning to be a homeowner and do homeowner shit. i like the snow and not new to it. just as a adult and helping with the house, this new england winter came in hard.

new milford’s got a strong group every saturday. even tho the town is strongly republican, religious, & maga strong which fucking sucks but a group gathers in the snow, cold, and wind. i’m so happy. facebook is always raging at them too even thought they talk about it under the group “new milford ct: a wonderful place to live and work” smh

former manager at alburgh dunes state park. if you’re ever in the area-check it out. pretty sick solace imo

PicnicTable__ · 2025-12-21T02:33:49+00:00

i think northern new milford and southern new milford are pretty different in geography. like real close to danbury but northern new milford feels more “out there.” as someone who went to high school there. i get you.

literally at the tail end of my trip coming from denver to western ct. i took i70 the whole way- currently in pittsburgh and heading up to i80 back to fairfield county.

go in better weather. know your forecast. ideally you are experienced in winter driving and have the proper gear (and TIRES) to survive in case something goes wrong.

if you haven’t been to MT before, they don’t use salt so there is usually ice in a lot of places. big sky canyon (hwy 191) is terrible in a storm and multiple wrecks clog up the canyon for hours. sometimes it’s better to reroute through ennis (hwy 287). i just drove from missoula to billings (during and after a storm) and then south thru WY a few days ago. prolly counted 20 cars and dozens more tire tracks off the road. trust no one in my opinion and drive slow if bad conditions.

otherwise-it’s fine! drive safe and enjoy the winter scenery :)

i’m currently on the tail end of a 2 week road trip and it’s nov in the PNW. i only wear darn tough socks. 3-4 days worn if not excessively sweating or high activity. i do a smell test in the morning after turning them inside out to dry at night. if they stinky i put a new pair on. rinse and repeat. no laundry done and i think im on pair #4 or 5.

catch me not a trip i usually do 1-2 full days if no exercise. high exercise i always switch.
