    Campground Hosting at State/Federal parks

    I've done this in the past in a large state park campground. It was fun for a few seasons and I enjoyed it for the most part. The ability to camp all summer long at one of our favorite places for free with a beautiful lake at our doorstep was nice. But after a few years it starts to become more...

    Good News--No Bad Side effects to Covid Vaccine

    We both got our second dose of Moderna two days ago. Both of us had sore arms, headaches, achy all over, fatigued and I had an elevated temperature for a while. But back to normal other than our sore arms after 48 hours. We just took a few tylenol and took it easy but it really didn't affect us...

    Build quotes for new 2 car garage

    I recently got a rough quote for a very similar garage project. 30*30 with a 12' covered carport area on the side.The quote came in around $75k also. I'm having plans drawn up now so I can get a final quote. I'm in Connecticut and the lumber prices here are almost triple what they were a year...

    Good News--No Bad Side effects to Covid Vaccine

    We got the first Moderna shot two weeks ago. Just a little fatigued the next day but nothing bad. Last Wednesday I developed what's come to be known as Covid arm which is swelling, redness and itchiness around the injection site. It's pretty much back to normal now. But then today at two weeks...

    Covid Vaccine Distribution

    They are opening up for 55+ here in Connecticut on Monday. Out of curiosity I checked the Walgreens site this evening and found plenty of appointments nearby. So we've got our first shot scheduled for Tuesday and the second shot scheduled for a month from then. We weren't expecting get it until...

    Urolift? Anyone had it?

    I had the green light laser treatment in November 2019 after taking Tamsulosin and dealing with bph and elevated PSA for almost 10 years. It took a few months to get back to normal but it's all good now. No more pills or getting up in the middle of the night. It doesn't take me 10 minutes to...

    BPH Options

    I looked into the urolift and the Rezum treatment. Ultimately I had the green light laser treatment. Nobody around here does the Rezum and doc didn't recommend the urolift for my case. I had it done last November and it was about three months to get back to normal. I'm now off of the flomax...

    Why I think a second wave next winter is inevitable.

    It seems to me that there are two things at work that will dampen future waves. If we assume there is some immunity being developed and that the deaths are slowly reducing the most at risk population then aren't we effectively reducing the population density. This would seem to have more of an...

    Can anyone explain a femtocell?

    I had one from Verizon but it was taken out by a lightning strike and I didn't replace it. If you have WiFi calling capabilities it's really redundant.
