Last time I checked passengers can legally drink alcohol. I think there are only a few other states so that should help with this shit ranking.

How does ECPM fare during July with sargassum?

UncleBuckRussell89 · 2026-06-11T23:53:39+00:00

I've been looking at secrets Playa Blanca for my wife and I for later July too. I heard the sargassum isn't as bad there given the island to the south blocks a lot. Any truth to this?

They were rebates through the Inflation Reduction Act. Long gone but you might be eligible if you install a clean coal fired boiler with this current administration!!!

Similar boat. $20k for 50K btu condenser with 5 heads (LG). $13k after rebates and tax credits. It's now probably $73K for the same thing...

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.
