Soooo..... as a minimalist .... does that mean you kept one Gyuto and one Parer and got rid of the rest of your knives????
Over the last 10 yrs or so I've considered moving to Maine for the inexpensive property mostly. In that same time I've come to hate winter more and more so I'm sort of not looking at Maine too much anymore. BTW, I'm a Masshole and proud of it!
That's great! I had never heard the term before I moved here and now it's become part of my vocabulary.
What's this cold thing you speak of? Actually it's quite a bit colder than NC but probably not much colder than PA right?
As an old boss would have told me "Baptism by fire, the only way to do it"I moved to New England for 2 reasons...the heat in NC sucked the life out of me in the summer and I enjoy winter sports. Once here I realized I could live on a sailboat which blew my mind. Maybe not the smartest way to spend my first winter here but figure go big or go home Wasn't expecting a record breaking cold winter or my plans may have been different.
That sounds really cool ... and so distant from what I could imagine with a wife and 2 small kids Have fun out there!

It's funny but when someone cuts me off in traffic I know before I even look at their plate they're from MA.
As to politics I think Maine is much more interesting. The left (looking in the mirror) is every bit as far left as Mass but balanced almost equally by a hard right leaning Libertarian movement. Makes for entertaining form of government that keeps people engaged. You might like it here Dave?

Ok Dave, I am new here so maybe there is a backstory I dont know. Your profile info says PA, but you are a fellow masshole. I am always curious to see locals with overlapping hobbies/professions. I am born and raised just west of Boston.
. New Jersey, now there's a place you don't want to live!
Whats wrong with NJ????
Besides the property prices. Property taxes. The governor. The swamps. The contaminated water.... besides those? [emoji6]
Jim, I'm going to put a beacon on my roof to signal you.
As for moving to Portland; it's been great up here. Sure it's cold but compared with NY, Boston, and DC its a more enjoyable life. And yes, wind-chill walking to work tomorrow is supposed to be -40
But MA isn't what it used to be, I could never live there today.
