That issue was with F-35Bs, the VTANG (& the whole AF) flies F-35As

I got sprayed by a skunk at like 4 AM while I was taking out my trash before work. I was a paramedic still at the time, so I called my dispatch to call out. The company I worked for was famously understaffed due to being cheap, so they threw a fit when I told them I couldn't work.

Now I live in the city, but I grew up in a salt marsh and still spend the overwhelming majority of weekends up in the hills in my cabin. I could not explain to this rude piece of shit that "the smell doesn't just go away if I shower and change my uniform. I probably won't even be able to come in the next day or two.

He didn't listen to me. So I said fuck it, conceded, went right to work, hopped on my ambulance, and was sent right the fuck home because I smelled so bad.

You all know I hunt and trap. But what the fuck do I know about being sprayed by a skunk.

I like Weather Underground's 10day forecast, but it's a bit too early to get a good prediction.

Probably the most detailed breakdown of winter storms you will find for central vt. Can get into the weeds with AO indexes and weather nerdy (a compliment) stuff, but its very local and he's right more than the nws, wunderground or any other local forecast I have found.

Yeah especially when he killed him and ate him to absorb his power.

I hunt powder in the mountains but the population is extremely scarce these days :(

Basically every weather app you see is just a rehash of NOAA data collected under the Department of Commerce to allow for interstate transport.

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=44.4456&lon=-73.2161&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical

The specific amount of precipitation is not predicted. And it wouldn't be accurate anyhow.

Cheers.

EDIT:

If anyone wants an idea($)... The core functionality of the NOAA data is broken. That is, say I want to get in my rig and drive to Austin or Denver, but I don't want to be in a blizzard or wind-storm. There is no app (TMK) that combines way-finding with real-time weather. There is no app where I can say "find me a reasonable route that avoids weather", like we have apps that avoid tolls and ferries.

Its a bit too far out to make a more accurate prediction.

I noticed about 1.5 years ago my energy costs seemed to have doubled. Since then I've taken up unplugging unused appliances when possible (also end of night). Still higher than I'd like but it has made a dent.

Thanks!!

No, but skunks rarely spray. If they are threatened then they will. But this one knew that he was being helped.

It’s the combo I’d like most:

How about a story about the 10% who voted against the amendment singing about stick season in a LGTBQ+ hangout.

We love Talent Skatepark in Burlington for BDAY parties: https://www.talentskatepark.org/rentals

The kids usually wind up riding scooters around in circles but they always have a blast.

It's $50/hr to rent (I think)

Every November I like to take my rifle or shotgun and go walking in the woods. The idea is I'm going to shoot me a big antlered buck, however, years later, I'm still just going for a nice walk in the woods...not very good at hunting, but I enjoy it!

(I get free tags as a disabled veteran, I probably wouldn't bother if I had to pay, cause I'm not that serious about it)

Whitefish are really good. People love walleye, but it's just really mild. I like northerns more. Along the same lines, I prefer haddock to cod. If that makes sense it's a good comparison. I haven't had land locked salmon.

I have to eat everything once. Whatever you do, don't grill the lake trout. I thought I had a really bad fish or something, so I did it again. Not good. I eat a lot of small panfish and usually catch and release anything else. But I try and eat things first just to see how they are.

I really, really, really want to catch a whitefish on champlain. I don't know if it will happen sans 4 wheeler. It sounds like you have to get far out there and get lucky.

Haha I don't have high hopes for the taste of Lakers, it's a desire to better understand the fish, say that I've tried it etc. I just wanna try once.

I've heard really good things about the landlocked salmon and also whitefish are supposed to be tasty... those and walleye are high up on my harvest goals list

I hunt and fish a lot and all over the place. A lot... I love to cook and will eat anything. I'll cook suckers...they're tasty. I know how to cook carp so it's delicious. Lake trout are just not that good. You're not missing out on much. The best way to eat them is when they're very little and steam them Chinese style or do a MN style lake boil. Even then they're meh.

ok i did the normal groan i do every time i read one of these "moving to vermont" titles but this was good

I fully support hunting with dogs, but I don't run hounds. You can definitely bear hunt without them. Identify food sources and as the season goes on they'll feed quite often. Bear meat spoils far quicker than venison, I always plan on icing the carcass down unless it's really cold... but getting the hide off asap is key.

I'm not a Maple Syrup producer, but I can confirm that I blend everything with liquor and it definitely helps.

Pelagic bite was outstanding this fall off the island...

That was an illegal set.
