Plumber will install tomorrow early morning and electrician will run the line late morning. So hopefully I'll be all set by tomorrow afternoon. I'm glad these sorts of things don't happen too often.

Craigslist isn't representative of markets from my experience. The items that you see a lot are the things that don't sell. Stuff that is correctly priced in the market goes very quickly and most people casually looking at the site wouldn't see those things because they are gone quickly. The problem is that other sellers see the prices of the stuff that doesn't move and they price their stuff similarly.

Reminds me of the old Green Ridge Turkey Farm restaurant that was replaced by Barnes and Nobles.

My wife is in Singapore and I can put the kids in another residence that we share but that place doesn't have internet access. I'm putting that in next week.

The water heater is in the basement and it runs through a metal chimney that's 3 inches in diameter. We don't have any chimneys related to fireplaces. The house has four floors. Code is 4 inches but it sounds like 6 would be a better idea.

We're going with electric. Hopefully they can do it tomorrow.

Thanks. I guess we'll just go electric. Trying to see if they can do it tomorrow or else I'd need to find other accommodations until next week.

About time. A lot of Governors have passed on doing this.

Seabrook, NH has a second pad for another nuclear plant. NH exports power as it has Seabrook and the AEP NG plant in Londonderry. An additional plant would provide additional capacity for export.

You also have less risk with distributed production due to outages in production or transmission system failures.

Pipelines made a lot more sense before the invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing energy policies of Europe. We now have much more demand for NG. $NATGAS ranged from $2 - $4 per million BTUs in 2019. It has ranged from $5 - $10 after the invasion. For reference, it use to spike to $15 back in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Utility companies wanted to put in pipelines many years ago and there was a strong NIMBY reaction along the NH/MA border and so they didn't.

There is NG demand for air conditioning during the summer and, of course, demand for heating in the winter. One way to ameliorate supply problems during periods of high demand are to build more storage tanks that get filled in the spring and fall. Someone has to build them, though, and buy the NG and store it and they take price risk along with storage costs in doing that.

One other way to resolve distribution problems is to get rid of the law that doesn't permit transport via ship from state to state. I recall MA getting a shipment from Russia many years ago because of that law.

One other purpose for pipelines into MA would be construction of a terminal to export LNG to Europe. Something that wouldn't help consumers but it would help shipping companies and NG producers.

I made it through treatment and am moderately disabled but happy to be alive.

I have no idea that these are the State Police calling. Particularly when they are calling from Nevada. There was one time when they called and I just said that I'm dealing with half a million in medical bills for cancer treatment and I was unemployed and they still asked if I could send them something. For some reason, they kept calling me and I just said that I'm dealing with cancer.

Eventually I just hung up.

My mother was scammed relentlessly over all kinds of things to the point where she was terrified in answering the phone. These folks are the worst.

I have an Indeed jobs for IT in Southern NH along Route 3 and there are two help-desk jobs from last night on it. There's one data job (requires SQL) on it. There are lots of IT jobs but they require specific experience and expertise and the demand is really lower than the number of jobs indicate. Jobs generally prefer a college degree and, in a downturn, "prefer" turns into required.

I think that it's difficult to look for jobs with a remote address and phone because employers know how difficult it is to move here.

I would guess that things are easier for work in MA but I don't know for sure. I'm contemplating a move to MA from NH as that would open up Boston but I'm in an oddball housing situation.

It would also help if you already knew someone on the inside that would give you a recommendation.

If you're in a dense neighborhood, you also have to deal with radio signals from neighbors.

I hope Costco has those telescoping snow brushes for sale. Shovel is out but I need clear the leaves off the driveway. Bring it on!

There's a huge hit to personal and family life in running for the highest office. You have to have enough ambition to overcome counting the costs to you and your family. The vast majority of people wouldn't want to do this.

Another option may be Powerline Ethernet. If you need dedicated Ethernet, you can hook up one end to your router and the other unit would be where you need the connection. If you only need WiFi, then you could put a WiFi router at the remote end. If you need multiple Ethernet ports, then you could add a switch at the remote end. Speeds on Powerline are Gigabit these days so it should work well unless you need 2.5 GB or 10 GB.

I did it myself about 15 years ago using parts from Home Depot. Getting it between floors was the hardest part. I reused the cable conduits.

Could you get glass panes that fit into the screen fixtures?

The proof that this was untrue was Sununu winning by 15 points.

I just stared at that for a minute and wondered why someone would do this. It looks nice but I personally prefer to have storm doors on exterior doors and I'm guessing that there isn't a way to do that on these doors.

I have a pair of night driving glasses. I started having problems driving in the dark about 20 years ago so I told my optician and he said that the pupils expand when it's dark to let in more light and that this changes the geometry of how corrective lenses work. So he made me glasses with about a quarter less power.

That can be a big problem given that we're the second-oldest state in the country (based on median age). I keep a spare pair of bifocals in my cars in case I forget my glasses. But I can easily understand forgetting to wear them. If you can't pass the eye-test part of getting your license renewed, then you are required to wear glasses while driving. I don't know what the penalty is for not wearing required glasses though.

I keep an eye on lakes and reservoirs and they are at high levels. It feels like this is the rainiest year in decades. That said, I go with Michelin Touring tires and change them when my dealer says to change them (they have a thing you drive over and it tells you the condition of your tires).

We have a lot of new drivers in NH from young adults and those moving into the state from other places. The roads were a lot different 35 years ago when we moved here. Southern NH seems like an extension of Massachusetts as we now have the driving styles that were there 35 years ago.
