Last year when I was in Wallingford at a Big Y, I saw it there and bought every six pack they had on shelf and asked if they had more in the back.
Moxie is very unique in taste and if you had it as a kid, it brings back the memories at times. It's a liquid time machineπ
Haven't seen it since, but I still look for it.
I find most large supermarkets further north may have it, but similar to hunting bourbon, you have to look in odd areas in the soda aisle, it doesn't sell well so they put it in unusual spaces.

Reply to I'm thinking of going for heat pumps, I'd like recommendation on brands and installers by CombinationTall8586
Carrier Infinity system with electronic air cleaner and UV lights.
Look for Carrier President's awards besides "approved installer", and those with Infinity system installs.
Tyler is one installer that I recommend.
Depending on how soon you need one, I'd wait a bit longer as new cold climate units are still in testing.
Check with customers that had installs done and how they'd rate the install quality, price.

Thanks, I enjoyed watching the series "TURN" on AMC about the Culper spy ring
Although there was embellishments and some freelance work on the scripts it still was a good rendition of the Culper spy ring and those involved
Keep up the good work! π

Watched a SUV go flying past me on the Merritt Parkway years ago when it was snowing hard and fast covering the roadway big time. Snow had already accumulated and trucks yet to clear.
There i was, in the right lane crawling in a company car (Ford Focus Wagon- all season tires) just taking it easy with this horrible car and conditions when a SUV in left lane flew by me.
As I was crawling, I watched the SUV all of a sudden cross over to right lane and continue into the woods. No heavy damage to it, the fool got out fine but seemed pissed off (gee, wonder whyπ€).
Now, driving a Subaru Outback, no problem in snow and can travel at parkway/thru way speed levels without issue.
I just wish anyone in a poor vehicle not good in snow just learn to keep right and take their time as opposed to attempting faster travel that results in them spinning off sideways in front of us who know how to drive in snow.
Its the local roads where I find those who know or not know how to drive in snow and see them crash into poles, signs or off the road.

For Fine Fettle in Stamford, you must order online and give an ETA when you will pickup your products.
After a specific time passes and you failed to pick up, it all goes back to inventory.
Check your respective locations on how they expect to open this week.

Google doesn't have this option, I checked Google and "Maps" is for "pleasure vehicles" only.
But, some roads show restricted in Google Maps.
Not sure with Waze.

There are options in Google, Waze, TomTom to avoid roads that prohibit commercial trucks.
But, as always, how many times have you seen vans, panel trucks, or any truck/SUV etc with commercial plates on the Merritt Parkway?
I guess they feel they can get on, go several exits and get off without being pulled over by state police.
Then the U-Hauls, Hertz, or any "moving" type truck with towing a trailer do you see?
If it's not those, it's landscapers who travel the Merritt with or without trailers.
On a positive note, down near between Norwalk and Westport the work they are doing to widen the parkway sure helps as opposed to going door handle to door handle widths.π π

Same when they "oil" a road and apply the bluestone pebbles.
My father and I would go out on our street with the International Harvestor tractor and the trailer to scoop up all the bluestone off on the sides of the road.
We could fill up that trailer with a shit ton of the stone ..thanks to our town..π

Most likely the resin type. Whatever Safety Marking uses on roadways.

Yep, seen a few times they rip a few up when the blade catches them and the blade does not spring back or if they still use the metal lip vs a hard plastic lip on the blade.
Most DOT are all metal tip bladed as sparks fly when hitting pavement not covered.
Still, love how well those reflective markers light up at night, both yellow and white just blaze up with headlights vs paint with glass beads unless it's fresh painted.

Doesn't last long. We tried once at a parking lot and it lost its effectiveness in a month or less.
Only way is glass beads or thermoplastic hot tape which has a more reflective product in it, but in time, you'll see those peel off roadways. Mostly used for temporary marking until Safety Mark gets their truck out with the liquid thermoplastic "paint" and beads.

Yes, traffic paint w/o glass beads when newly applied and it's raining....easily to slip on.
After striping a parking lot and crosswalk before it rained, then as it did I went to pick up cones, landed right on my ass. Crew laughed like hell but hurt like a SOB! Learned from then on to be very careful on those and speed humps when wet

Yeah, they sometimes add too much. It just pours through a pipe as they apply paint, the glass beads are flowing way too much that what doesn't cure in the paint gets off to the sides.
Also, slippery as hell too...the glass beads.
I'd rather see the imbedded reflective markers. Those light up really well! Cost is high, but they outway other forms of traffic markings in reflectivity at night.

Fresh asphalt with oil based traffic paint can discolor. That's why any parking lot that gets sealed you must use latex. Otherwise, white traffic paint will turn brown on lots or new asphalt. Yellow does turn as well if oil based.
Most town/city roads are now thermoplastic paint with glass beads added and it dries very quickly. That is more permanent than typical traffic paint.
I worked long ago with a business who did parking and roadway traffic markings .
CT_Patriot t1_iz95gmd wrote
Must have been the latex paint they use temporary to stripe a roadway until Safety Mark gets their truck out that uses a hot plastic type of paint with glass beads (thermoplastic).
Not too many states allow oil base traffic paint any longer. Back then, white is lead free, but yellow and black contained lead.
Now, states and towns only allow latex base traffic paint if it's striping a lot of part of a roadway.

Stop at a 7-11 and buy a few bags....
Or, go to a Stop and Shop for a better selection.
With inflation, things change, however they should say as you went to pick up if you wanted them and addto the order before ringing you out.
Enjoy the Mexican dinner!

Yeah I passed on this technique.
When I do a bird, just go through seasonings and place in oven.
Just hate the begining when it smells gamey. Once Γts further along, smells great.
