    I just Maine to get something from it, not be like a Poland springs deal, where they just keep taking from Maine.
    But we live in corporate America.

    Ah sorry. The york river landing on rt 1 is good. We've just been getting bulk lobster meat as of late from the Maine Lobster Outlet in York for lobster rolls. Much cheaper than buying them, and better imo.

    My favorite place right now to go with the kids is up in Wells Harbor. Hobbs Harborside is really good and really reasonably priced.

    I'd love to but we just did a day trip up there. Fun times!
    We ended up going to a place called Cape Neddick Lobster Pound Harborside.

    I have not, probably don’t want to either.


    I am not a fan of windmills, I know that solar panels create waste, but want to see more work done with them. Find a way for them to replace shingles on a roof, the sun provides more than enough “energy” we just need to figure out how to use it.

    I am also torn on sending energy else where. They say the population should live in the city for a healthier planet (sprawl is bad). But I in no way shape of form want to live in the city. So we send power to the masses and get to live where we want.

    Then there is the thought, we are too big population wise. So, we need stop growing.

    I actually like that. But in a gimmick way. My wife and I parked up to have dinner take out a few nights ago at the beach parking lot and I thought of the table haha


    Ohio is nice. Making it to Grand Rapids today.

    I was originally planning on a 2021, but there isn't anything in it that I think I will be upset not holding out for. Then Ford sent me a PCO for $3k on a 2020 and I figured that's what I would do. Last year of a generation, fourth year of the 10 speed and revised 3.5 EcoBoost. My 2018 didn't have any significant quirks, so hopefully this 2020 is solid too.

    Truth be told, I am trying to break my cycle of buying a new truck every couple years. I figured a loaded Lariat with the strongest engine available in a color that is easy to keep looking nice gives me fewer excuses to replace it. I also just got 18" OEM wheels in to use for a set of snows. Just have to pick up some TPMS sensors and decide on tires in the fall. I really want to get Nokians because I want to see how good the best of the best is, but I have to see what the cost would actually be. The prices I see online are a little too high to justify it.

    Rob, you went from "nobody do anything, follow the rules" to "I'm gonna travel the hot spots of New England all in one week with no quarantine or tests, watch me!" Pretty fast. Any reasons for the change of heart?

    edit: I don't think you did anything wrong, I'm just honestly curious what gave you guys the confidence. We are in a business where peoples comfort of travel effects us a lot, so I see your comfort as a good sign for us.

    Is the ice cream shop on the east side of the harbor open? That’s a must have if I’m going out there to visit...

    Well to be honest IDK. I won't say I don't have any reservations about doing it and if I thought the places were super busy I wouldn't go.

    ex.
    We went to Craigsville beach yesterday and it was like I was visiting it in late September not early July. It was so dead we pulled in around 11am and parked right in the front row next to the beach.
    All of our dining has been outside with one exception and they were only seating every other table and served on paper plates and sealed plastic forks/knives as to not spread anything (a bit of overkill IMO).
    So yes were trying to get out there but were trying to do it safely.
    No
    Schoolhouse? Yes there are and went there yesterday too. (BTW, ordered and ate outside). That place is so friggin good!!!
