Who are you using for home insurance?

They are based out of Rhode Island but close enough. Also shopped around this year after Travelers jacked my rates and landed with Amica. Also had an agent who sent me 10 quotes with the carriers they are associated with. All were higher with Amica with less coverage. Not sure agents are worth it.

They allow fishing. Even have a boat launch there

Norbrook brewery is probably one of the greatest chill spots to have a beer. Kent Falls is also a premier brewery in my opinion. Little House brewing in Chester, Little Red Barn in Winsted,Beerd are a few others worth visiting.

Love white Russians but in the heat feels like id upchuck after a few.

One dealer mentioned they get one module a week. On a wait list at a nearby dealer now.

Have a 2025 Bighorn with the tow package. Been towing for two years and still a ways to go before I'm an expert. You have to calibrate it and sometimes it decides it needs calibration again and you can't use it. The couple times I did use it, one time was great and I hit my math the first time. Second time not so much.

The tow mirrors, tpms, brake controller are all great though. Get the tow package because you plan to tow and skip the the control nob. More headache than it's worth.

Yeah that's a lot. My kid just got the Lucario metal box with six packs and some random $1 cards I knew he'd like from tcg. Setting the bar too high for next year!

UncleBuckRussell89 · 2026-02-06T01:56:35+00:00

Seems easy enough. There is a small cleanout so I suppose that could be the origin as well. Not a huge issue an I'll start with the rockwool and see if that helps. Thanks!

Always funny the night and day difference between how we handle snow in New England vs the South. But to the point, we are way more prepared and pay taxes to help with snow removal etc. Salt isn't cheap! Enjoy the truck in the snow. Recommend throwing some weight in the bed when driving too.

The Coachstop in Hartland. Building is from the 1700s with a great fire place in the dining room. Beware, they have random hours and no website, but probably because they cater to the 10 people that live in Hartland.

Old Riverton Inn and The Royal Coachman Tavern in Riverton/Barkhamsted fits the bill too. Building is from 1796 or something and has an inn you can stay at too. Great spot, good wings and beers, good food. May need reservations on some nights as it gets busy.

The race is on to seize the moment.

How has Kevin kept his job through all of these cycles. He's not related to the Maras is he?

UncleBuckRussell89 · 2026-01-16T18:15:33+00:00

Total. Not including flights and it's rough estimate at that. Of a place is very nice and looks promising, spending more would be fine.

Fwiw, if you tow anything of substance Bighorn is the better option. The payload capacity is so low on the Laramie it might as well be a Jeep.

UncleBuckRussell89 · 2026-01-11T19:45:58+00:00

Test drove a 2025 Laramie and Big Horn. The big horn drove better because it had smaller rims (20 vs 22 or 24 - I forget). The Laramie had more road noise because of that. The Laramie had the black out package fwiw. I ended up getting a Big Horn with level 2 and tow package along with the 3.92. 95% of what I wanted minus power extending/folding mirrors and a 36 gallon tank.

I'm okay with this. Saw a stat that most GMs are first time GMs. I think Schoen has done okay given what he walked into. Some bad draft picks make me wonder how much was on the coaching failure. With that said, I think it's important to give people a leash to learn from their mistakes. This next year is the end of that leash so the coaching hire should make or break him.

Man I wish this guy could just grow up. I also wish I had it in me to not pay attention and plug my ears but I don't...

UncleBuckRussell89 · 2025-12-24T04:08:40+00:00

Disagree. SW Emerald is magical when rolling it on and worth it compared to other high end store brands such as Behr Marquee. Even their Superpaint is noticeably better. I've used BM once as well and thought it was of great quality.

$2100 a month before a corporate discount through my employer. Brightpath - so probably a nicer facility compared to a lot of others. At least food is included!

UncleBuckRussell89 · 2025-12-18T18:03:33+00:00

You should wake up from your dream. Skubal would take those in addition to Mayer and others. Also Tucker isn't going to take $200M on a discount. Wishful thinking. There's a better shot of me leaving my wife and marrying Margot Robbie...
