I would agree. Unfortunately the tool I'm looking for, while not being made by them, is only sold and branded under the Mac name. The lady at Mac corporate was reluctant to give me any contact info to an independent truck without an affiliation to a shop.

That was sarcasm. I would rather it be -2 Celsius!

Yes -- no relationship develops overnight. You still need time and the right people, personalities, and schedules to form real, mutual connections with others.

With that in mind, you should be prepared to partake in activities and events that you actually enjoy, or at least be willing to put an honest effort in. Not everything you do will help you make a friend, or make a friend in that immediate moment. You should still continuously put yourself out there, though, and have fun while you do it!

Correct. I have a snap on dealer whos route I know and I can catch him. Unfortunately the tool I'm looking for is only available through Mac, but Mac trucks are proving rather difficult to find.

Ya it is difficult most of us just don’t have a lot of time between work or school and other daily obligations and since covid it’s def gotten worse

Many thanks to you Turd Ferguson! Do you own a dog house per chance?

Edge of the woods in New Haven and Thyme and Season in Hamden.

One of my bucket list vacation destinations. Enjoy you lucky duck!!

That is very good compared to my .1%…

Not a lot, check out page 7, most stoves require little spacing. just a Hearth pad below(fireproofing

Pellet fuel is also tax exempt.

The interest rate has to be better than .1 %! Hmm I wouldn’t mind switching over to something like that. I’ve been with Webster bank since 2015.

I appreciate all this information!

I was looking at these before winter. How much space does it need?

This is great information thank you! I will take a look at both of those !

You absolutely can. Call them to come measure the property after the work is done and they will update the records. If it meets the threshold for a property tax reduction, you will see it.

Give the Waka New Haven kickball league a go when it starts. Great place to meet friends and you don’t have to be athletic.

February just isn't going to let us get away with a cold snap free winter, is it?

Hi there. You definitely should talk to a good lawyer and an insurance agent/broker with experience in international exposures.

Insurance-wise, at a minimum you need general liability insurance that will respond in all countries you plan to operate in, as well as auto liability insurance if you’re going to be transporting people in vehicles/buses. Property insurance for any property owned by the business (computers, etc.)

It would depend on how you structure your business as far as coverage for clients who get sick/die overseas and need to be transported back to the states or have their remains repatriated (as in, you could bake this coverage into your costs and provide it to clients, or you could require them to provide proof of their own travel insurance). Just something to think about.

But again, a licensed agent is the person to talk to about all insurance considerations. Operating in many countries can be very complicated.

Look into a pellet stove, there is a 30% tax credit that started at the beginning of this year. I run one stove pretty much all winter long and turn my second one on when temps get below 30*F. They don’t pull too much energy and the exhaust system is simple and easy to maintain

Popping in here to say that your username is mint

I see one in Southbury at Willies Garage from time to time. They might be able to help

Well said. It takes time! Even when you join a gym or a club, it can take months or even years for adult friendships to fully take root.

Not sarcasm at all. Its something I always thought would get better for me, but never seems to.

Pellet stove has been the best investment I have made. People who don't have one are missing out.

Bring your own snacks and an empty water bottle. There's a small coffee shop in the airport but the flights have no food or beverage service.

So I was pretty active in the foodie community here in CT, but unfortunately that had to take a back seat for a little bit. I used to play soccer and basketball and work out at the gym, but I ended up getting a home gym so I cancelled my membership.
