East Coast Roll Call #??? 20-21 Covid closures and hard core touring! Be Fit or Sit

[Boreas]

Thanks. Figured someone turned that "sugar" into booze. Seemed obvious but I never considered. Consider me learned as it never came up in beer judge testing that I recall.

I have 6 gallons of resting fermented maple “Meade.” Basically, I took the sap boiled it down by about 1/2 added granulated maple sugar, champagne yeast, and in one 2.5 gallon batch golden raisers. All the batches are around 11-14%. One .5 gallon jug that was 12% I did freeze distilling, and got a ball jar full of sweet boozy maple concentrate.

This is pretty good stuff too.

Waitsfield Allen lumber closed due to covid until further notice.
Guess I'll have to take some time off.

In for the rum group buy.

Fake news?

I’ve made White Russian’s or a coffee milkshake with the the “distilled” maple syrup. It’s good, not sell the farm and move to Town good but good enough.

Someone should tell them Dixville is higher.

I thought lumber yards and home improvement shops were doing real well since folks were fixing up their places.

oof, that sucks, seems like they could have kept parts of it open for contractors with a window or something, although who am I to judge. I assume Bethel Mills doesn't deliver up there?

Vermont just fucked itself. Morning news cataloging spreader events: Halloween party in Milton, bowling league in Colchester, etc. WTF people? We had the virus mostly back in the genie bottle and now....No discipline.

[m2711c]

kinda hard to blame out of staters for that.....

[prsboogie]

Where are all the Vermonters crying about the flatlanders screwing up the state now?? Everyone plays their part

Yep. This is fucked. We had an outbreak at the high school I teach at and we'll likely be remote for awhile. Now all VT teachers will have access to free testing.

We all go complacent when we had 0-10 cases a day all summer and here we are. Can't put this all on tourists either.

I'd hate to be in charge of a ski resort and trying to figure out how to open with this blowing up all over the place. Between local outbreaks and the red travel map I don't see how mountains can manage this.

Sorry to hear about your school, hearing the same from a neighbor up here at their two boy's elementary/middle school. Really tough to keep a 4th and 6th grader quarantined.

I don't think the resorts are going to have to manage it, betting Scott is going to take care of the decision making for them.

The only realistic option should be stay closed until January 1st and reassess then.

Thats not what their website says, FYI. Closing for a different reason, unless they are hiding something

I'm hearing that may be the plan. Time will tell.

Clusterfuck of a year will spill over into the next

I think the email I got from the outside sales guy Tuesday and the Wednesday one from the Allen's saying it was closed due to a positive coved case is sufficient.
All of Allen lumber is closing and reopening Tuesas RK Miles, who bought them out.
Hopefully the local can open then, otherwise I can get what I need from Montpellier or Barre.

Curious where you heard about the Jan 1 push back for resorts?

Gov. Scott has a press conference today at 11. Very anxious if any actions will be taken.

Maybe it will stop raining by then.

[m2711c]

that would save the ski areas a shit ton of fucking money that’s normally wasted on early-season snowmaking....

Thru the grapevine of skiers. And it's not a state mandate thing, its individual ski area thing.
