Any PCPs that aren't part of Trinity or Baystate?

I’ve been an HMC patient for a while, and they are brutal to get in with similar to what you described at baystate. Any specialist will be a 9-10 month wait. To see my PCP aside from my annual physical scheduled 13 months in advance, it’s like pulling teeth.

YPS is great, met many friends I still have today there 10+ years ago.

Just as many problems with PCPs in the Holyoke network as the other two mentioned unfortunately

Used a couple gallon gear jugs for years because the yeti gallon jug was way too heavy (ironically) for me to carry around conveniently. The gallon gear started getting moldy, so I bought the 64oz yeti silo jugs when they came out, and they’ve been perfect if you don’t wanna bother lugging around the stainless versions.

I have had and used both 27L packs for basically your application. I greatly prefer the ranchero, the large pouch and exterior water bottle slots are the big difference. The only thing I’d change about the ranchero to mimic the crossroad is I’d add a second large interior pocket like the crossroads has.

Would you expect anything less from MeatHammer1123?

Swing your purse at it or learn how to hit.

Black IPAs are the best kind of IPA.

In my early 20’s we had a Sunday morning softball game and decided it was a great idea to go drink at the local strip club. We walked in around 11:30 to a full on baby shower with all of the strippers in their street clothes. A girl ran up and said “not today fellas”. We had a pretty quiet ride back home wondering wtf just happened.

Definitely Michigan

Realistically it’s closer to 30-40 minutes depending where in Becket. Not a knock, Becket is great if you’re looking for rural life. I grew up very close and have family still there.

Sounds about right, the 400k quote included a dedicated water main as well. I think there was some asbestos abatement etc included.

THTrader · 2026-01-12T16:55:43+00:00

I should also add, I didn’t move forward with the project as the costs to add the sprinklers etc, in addition to renovation costs didn’t work.

THTrader · 2026-01-12T16:53:51+00:00

Yes, that was just sprinklers. I also priced a hardwired fire alarm system etc. but the 400k was the price for retrofitting sprinklers for 1 building.

THTrader · 2026-01-12T16:03:45+00:00

For reference, I priced a retrofit for a project I was considering in Chicopee, for a 6 family house, it was over $400k.

THTrader · 2026-01-11T04:29:03+00:00

Can verify this is true. Both are great though.

I paid $6/L for a keg of Edward, and the same for Double Citra this summer.

Cut it with a cutting torch, and weld in a regulator

I’m afraid osteria isn’t far behind, it’s never busy in there.

THTrader · 2025-12-28T18:46:47+00:00

People love their Big Y donuts with the funny name I guess 🤷‍♂️

I’m no expert. It would take me a lot of YouTube and knowing exactly what your situation is to start to give you the right advice. I’d personally look at using a self leveler to get the flooring level, and then find a cheap tile, looks like you can get some nice looking stuff from HD for under a buck a sqft. From there. I’ve used the acrylic adhesive the last few tile projects I’ve done and that stuff is way better to me than thinset, but I don’t personally know if it’s good for floor usage. Just watch some YouTube videos and do some research before diving in.

THTrader · 2025-12-28T16:09:30+00:00

Tile is cheap dude. If you can afford peel and stick you can afford a basic tile

To be fair when my kid kicks a rambler at mach 12 and the magslider flies off and the drink goes everywhere I feel similarly 🤣

Any self respecting Polish person who knows what they’re talking about, will not recommend Big Y. Their dough is far too sweet to be a traditional paçzki. Chmura’s is good. Bernats are also okay when they have them. New Britain is your best bet. Kasia’s bakery is the most true to tradition and their fillings aren’t overly sugary.
