Yeah I was actually thinking the same thing as I was writing that but figured it would turn into a rambling post about doing the right thing and being honest with out people lol

i had a prepackaged demi glace over sirloin, spent portland prices, got rumford quality. only been there once tho

I do excel work for a couple non profits.

Weddings. You wouldn’t believe how many thousand of couples come to Maine to throw lavish destination weddings.

No issues here, in Southern Maine. If your ONT is nearby, check the status of it’s lights when it happens, and note it. Hopefully Fidium can easily check both, when you reach out to them.

Well that’s happening everywhere - we are just the only ones testing for them

So almost all the ice except right around the arctic circle will be gone in 4 years?! 😬

Not sure why you're arguing about it here.

My side hustle is the same thing as my day job (millwright) I just have a couple small manufacturing businesses I do it for. A lot of it is diagnostic stuff, I try to stay away from anything to in depth though because I enjoy my weekends, but if I can make a couple hundred bucks in three hours I’m hard pressed to say no lol

Maine ended up sending potatoes to CA? What does that have to do with anything?

Here’s a link and a description. The authors are from Maine.

“Pretty Good House provides a framework and set of guidelines for building or renovating a high-performance home that focus on its inhabitants and the environment”

I’m sure we will see some new species appearing in Maine in the next few decades. Source: my opinion

What’s up with the unneeded white text? It’s covering the description of what makes up the ranking and isn’t even needed lol. Regardless I totally agree and imagine we didn’t make to the top 10 because of our current issues with “forever” chemicals polluting our waters, soils, and wildlife.

TBF, Fishbones is pretty legit as well (though I haven't been there since COVID started so maybe they fell off).

Can you read? I'm not arguing about climate change here.

Not sure how handy you are with a chainsaw or how you feel about heights. But there are lots of tree limbs/trees on people's properties and a lot of people are too old to take care of them themselves. Also gutter cleaning, roof shoveling, general lawn care (think aeration, over seeding, fertilizer etc) aeration can easily be $200+ for a few hours hard work. Some of these might be more difficult to get business for up north, but I'm sure a combination of things could start to build up a group of regular customers

Seriously are you guys not able to read

Agreed. I take my out of town visitors there instead of Portland all the time. Lol.

Epic.

Geico has been awful allegedly due to inflation. Started with $85 a month full coverage insurance on my 2018 VW. Every year they raised it up $25. Called state farm and got a full coverage rate of $70

Reminds me of the janitor from Maine who was stealing Bean backpacks from lockers and returning them to the store for refunds. That’s a side hustle.

⬆️

The ice on my nearby river is still iffy. It’s usually safe by now.

Does that mean we will have poisonous snakes on hikes?

Not true
