Go 10mph slower.

>Cruising along at 50mph in a 50 zone

This is your problem, you're doing 10-15 under...I'm not even being sarcastic either, sounds like you were being properly nudged, if you're worried, let them pass. The state's speedzones were implemented when we powered our cars with our feet.

I call them snowless plows.

This is driving in Connecticut. If you drive the speed limit, no matter what road( residential streets, highways, freeway), or time of day, people will tailgate you. It’s fucking absurd. I’m originally from the DC metro and I have to say for all the shithead driving that goes on down there, I find CT drivers far worse.

General driving advice: get a dashcam

Just take your foot off the gas. Don’t brake check obviously but they need to respect your space and proper driving safety. Do you have dash cams?

Thank you for repeating the other replies!

You all sound as if you like some games! Have you considered board games? There's some great game shops around that I can recommend. I think they often have social hours where you can pay a little and come in and try a bunch of games, meet some nice people, etc.

Oh also Pickleball? My partner and I also just moved to what sounds like the same area, and we're going to be checking this out in the sprint:

Ok yes that's where we went!

It sounds like you went to Crystal Bees in Southington. Gamecraft is downtown, where there's also a brewery and a few other attractions

Barcade New Haven followed by a fresh apizza 🤌🤌🤌

Gay city is in Hebron.

I'm not big on axe throwing but there is one about 5 minutes from us.

We did an escape room a few months ago but I'd be down to do another one

You're the second person to suggest this so definitely adding to my list.

I feel like I saw this when looking up stuff to do last weekend but might've been the Barcade in Hartford and I'm getting confused because we went to the bowling alley/arcade in Southington instead

Yup hikes Talcott Mountain a few times. We were going to go last weekend again but it had rained so we just walked at West Hartford reservoir instead

These are great suggestions. Been to Mystic but we love it. Great call on the comedy club as we've gone to a few and have enjoyed our time.

We don't have a dog but her parents have one that is basically her dog lol so maybe we can take him

I like asking but GF absolutely dreads it. I think I'm gonna still check it out but maybe with my GFs friends S/O haha

Nope this sounds cool though! Thanks!

I think we did the rock climbing in Wallingford but wanted to try the Glastonbury one as well.

We were actually just at the bowling alley/arcade in Southington last week. Lots of fun!

We live right on Trout Brook Trail so we've walked it plenty! Will check out the other place though

This is great, thanks for the suggestion will definitely download this

We love Mystic! Will try the other suggestions as well.

My GF and I probably aren't the best for going to casinos together. She wants to gamble together and when she loses is ready to leave while I like to go off on my own and feel out tables and am okay going down $200 to try and win some back. I can sit at a table for hours while she can't more than like 20 minutes lol

This is such a great list! Also wanted to add that MassMOCA is really cool and can be done in a day, depending on where you’re at! Or could be part of a little weekend/overnight getaway. Lots of other cool stuff around it!
