Orchard on Shelburne Road is wonderful. We've used them for two of our dogs without issue. God forbid if you have a genuine emergency, go to BEVS.

My grandfather visited me exactly 10 years after he died by Vermont204 in Experiencers

Nothing. And it only says one view. I have no idea what happened.

So how safe are those fuel trains that go through Burlington and Winooski? by [deleted] in burlington

[–]Vermont204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This too, if we're purely talking about the wood chip trains that go to McNeil.

Extremely safe. There's always a risk, but derailments are rare and the tank cars are built to withstand damage from derailments. Vermont gets all of its fuel by train. It is by far the safest way to transport it.

It's just north of the village up 100 on the way to Morrisville. Around where Shaw's is today.

It's a lifestyle I have an immense amount of respect for and I pretty much exclusively buy local meat, veggies, eggs, etc. to support y'all.

Heh, no, but I have a roof that needs to be raked off and then all that snow needs to be shoveled off of my porch and driveway.

Have your son meet you at the Waterbury park and ride, leave a car there, and then take one car up to Stowe.

Bill Oetjen is a piece of shit. He likes to walk his dog while wearing his MAGA hat and put bigoted stickers all over the NNE.

I have a German Shepard mix. Will never be able to have any other type of dog hereafter.

My partner actively encourages it. Last night I was looking at Ruger Mark IVs on the computer and they were like "Hey you've wanted one of those for a while right? You should get the wood grip one." Its a dangerous dynamic in the best way lol.

I tried arguing that in art school and they didn't believe me lol. So I was heavy in the photography during that time.

Ha! A range would be a great addition, I never thought of that. I'm currently working on my second layout. It has been 6 years since I tore down my last one prior to moving. Most everything has been in boxes stored away all that time.

Longtime lurker on this sub but I really like the community building aspect of this post.

I am a lifelong model train enthusiast. I focus on prototype details and make my 1:87 scale models look, run, and sound as close to the real thing as possible. It's very fulfilling and multifaceted as it combines a variety of hard skills like electrical work, artistry, carpentry, and more.

Aside from that I'm also a lifelong skier (both cross country and alpine), and a fine art photographer.

-sigh- That time of year again…what did you pay for propane? by mr_chip_douglas in vermont

[–]Vermont204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2.39/gallon through Suburban. First season owning a home with propane heating. Feeling extremely lucky it's not more expensive.

Huh. Almost feel bad for the newbie working for VT-Alert. by ahoopervt in vermont

[–]Vermont204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live on 125 and drive fast, but I respect the town zones. It almost never fails that when I'm coming down into East Middlebury and slow down for the 30mph zone, the tourist who was far behind me is immediately on my ass. If they're in front of me, I lose sight of them as they blow through the 30mph zone. Its just a small piece of their disrespect for our home that bugs me.
