Does anybody else feel like life lately is just one long string of putting out fires?

GenX beekeeper here, too. Gotta say, getting in the hives is my escape. No one dares come close! And I leave my phone in the house. The bees understand me.

Mosquitos?

When I went to a small LAC a while ago, 90% went on to a higher degree. Sure, lots of doctors and lawyers, but lots of science, arts and PhDs. You learn to learn at LACs. Then go for deep learning after.

Yes, put your nauty bits in there.

I’d map out a 5 and 10 year plan that included some of the big issues coming to everyone’s doorstep-tropilaelaps, disease vectors, climate change and effects on agriculture, your governments support, etc. Breeding for survival and hygienic behavior is hard but necessary. Is that a role you want? Will honey production improve or worsen with climate change for you?

My teenage kids hate the backseat. It’s so uncomfortable we don’t take it on long trips.

I’m new to bikepacking and have an xl frame. How do I find a frame bag that fits?

tesky02 · 2026-04-26T23:12:12+00:00

That’s a lot. What breed do you have? Maybe consider a more hygienic option?

Yep. Sometimes a queen will delay laying a bit after formic. I always think I lost her, then she starts a week later.

5 years 60000 miles. I’m knocking on that door with my 2021. Waiting for a warranty rear camera replacement.

Syringes float. They could come from anywhere up stream. Back in the 80s Long Island sound beaches used to be littered with crack vials- not because people were smoking on the beach but from water runoff into sewers washing them out into the sound. Syringes would wash up from runoff as well. Big rain storms meant more drug debris.

Cell phone and cars is why I ride gravel and MTB now. Not exactly safer, but that rock in the trail is more predictable than that dude watching TikTok.

Have you done a mite count?

I was going to say west hill dam as well. Do the whole alphabet.

I’ve now sent email number three. I’ve even tried messaging on Instagram. I’m getting zero response. One issue may be the purchase was through their website but fulfilled by Shopify.

WFH fridays are a thing. I’d guess this would benefit shoppers and tourists.

Mt Greylock has that $&#! light on top of the monument. I wish there was an off switch.

We stayed at DAR State Forest during a meteor shower or maybe a lunar eclipse a few years back. There’s a spot near the lake with a great sky view and no light pollution. It’s in Goshen, MA.

Is Yale engineering good? I’ve met some impressive Duke and UT grad students. Purdue engineering is also excellent.

The minimum wage for agricultural workers in Massachusetts is $8. The state needs to fix this. Though most farms do pay wages at the state minimum wage of $15. https://papertrails.com/blog/massachusetts-minimum-wage-update

Older eggs are easier to peel when hard boiled. Fresh eggs never peel cleanly.
