(Part 3) Top products from r/Maine

So, i do use a tivo which I had prior to cutting cable. It sometimes seems a little silly, since I now only get like a dozen channels and given the availability of online tv. Not sure whether I'm going to keep it, but it does know about the OTA channels.

Re: antenna, here's what I've got:

though it looks like maybe that model has been discontinued. this one looks like it:

I also got the stand for it, which is easy to find. I screwed it to an old wood crate just to get it to the same height as the window it looks out of.

The window itself, as I mentioned, faces north, which is where most of the stations are (relative to portland). There's a site that will make a map for your address here:

I run it through a 75 ft coax into the basement, then up through the floor to the tivo. About 2 hrs worth of work all in.

Here's the cheapest alternative I can find.

(sorry for being a smart ass, best of luck to ya)

I fell in love with Ironclad Tundra gloves when I worked in reclaimed lumber one winter. They lasted all winter long and my principal job was removing metal out of beams.

In all fairness, they might not be quite as warm as the warmest gloves out there, but warm enough and still be able to do high functioning shit with your hands? Yeah, they are worth the money.

Last? They lasted the whole winter doing work were I would blow through a set of double palm work gloves every two weeks during the summer.

Forgot to add: I own and can recommend this book, it's a good resource: http://amzn.com/1608932249 Ultimate Acadia: 50 Reasons to Visit Acadia National Park

Or, if you want something a bit more foolproof, try a Lansky Sharpener.

Try a SuperRadio, they are very good at picking up distant signals.

You should read 1491 and America Before. Also there a numerous journal entries that have been published about the true history of Columbus and westward expansion.


Edit: words and formatting

My suggestion is to take the ferry over on a day the library is open. Stop in at the library and talk to anyone you find. One of the librarians is a native. The other has been there awhile. Also the Peaks Island website. Go out on a Sunday and go to one of the churches. This book was written by women who live(d) there.

One of my old neighbors called living on the island a half-time job. That sounds about right. I liked the constraints of the ferry, but not everyone does.

April seems too early to me.

maps (two maps, one covers the northern part, the other the southern part. The maps have campsites, portages, rapids, etc):

Might check this out too: Growing up on an Island off the Coast of Maine.

You need this. You actually needed it even before being an Uber driver, but this allows you to keep your shinies in your truck while preventing strangers from pawing through them.

Heh. It makes sense if you read this:

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I do remember from history classes in college that the Native Americans would raze down the trees for their agriculture. There's a book on this that I read years ago which goes into much more detail on how they shaped the land. After most of them died (remember, something like 90% of them were killed, many before European colonization was in full swing), the forests starting coming back. It's hard for us now to fathom what New England look like before European settlement, since so much of their history is now lost.

>I don't see any reason at all to assume any Maine residents served in the Confederacy

now were talking fake news. none? that's more absurd than 7,600. Here i found at least one:

>And, in any case, anyone who claims the CW was fought for any reason other than slavery is flat out a lying sack of shit.

did you not even pay attention in high school? there were lot's of reasons. let's go with 90% slavery and 9% federal overreach. finally, let's go back to what lepage actually said, which was that property rights were the initial reasons. clearly it was slavery by the time the war started.
