CNB set to take K2's taproom - Rochester Beacon

As a fan of sour beers and beer gardens, i've been watching the downfall of K2 with great interest.

Both properties, the Empire location and the old Freewill school, were bought back by CNB.... for a grand total of $2000. No other bidders in either case. 💀

I really hope that somebody can make use of the Empire location. It was a fun little bar with an excellent space to hang out. As a fan of their beer, it's a shame to see it turn out this way, but knowing the management it is very much an expected turn of events.

Absolute Unit of a cow cat I saw on my walk today

Saw this guy on my walk today and got stared down by this massive fella. I am just astounded by his size. His head is like 1/3 of his body width.

He tend to hang out on the walkway in front of his house (the humans rent from him, I assume), glaring at anybody who dares to walk down his street.

Neighbor got a new dog - how to handle barking?

Trying this sub too since my original post on dogs has been stuck in mod queue purgatory 😅

My dog (Keeshond, 3yo) has a good history with every dog he's met, but he has has also always been barrier reactive - other dogs, people, deer, squirrels etc. The levels of it depend on what the barrier is, what's on the other side, how tired he is. He has never been *aggressive* towards whatever's on the other side, he just REALLY wants to greet them and when he can't, he gets very frustrated. We have made a ton of progress with doors and gates but the fence has been the pain point, especially with other dogs. He will get visibly stressed, runs up and down the fenceline until he's exhausted and barking until he's hoarse.

My backyard is opposite of my neighbor's backyard. He decided yesterday to get a dog of his own, a really friendly husky mix. He is lovely. Both yards are fenced and there is a 15ft\~ grass strip between the two, so there is some distance separation as well as the fence.

There have been two times where both dogs have been in their respective yards, and both times the same thing has happened: my dog barks, runs up and down the fence, and desperately wants to get to the other dog. The other dog just runs parallel to him like it's a game, no signs of aggression, never barks.

I'm looking for advice on how to handle this. Ideally, the barking is managed and the two dogs get along. I'm good friends with this neighbor, it would be AWESOME if the dogs would play together as we often visit eachother's yards in the evening, and not having to travel to the dogpark for dog-on-dog interaction would be great.

My boy Kayde enjoying the ocean breeze :)

He's a very photogenic boy. Currently at the groomers to have some mats taken care of. After that, night time beach trip!

Struggling to troubleshoot some 3 way switches.

Hi there everyone. I've spent the last several hours trying to troubleshoot this 3 way switch setup and I'm at the point that I'm turning to reddit for help. Trying to make this post as detailed as I can and explain what I've tried to do so far. Trying to make this post as detailed as I can and explain what I've tried to do so far.

I'm a computer engineer by trade, so I have some circuit/electrical knowledge, know how to use a multimeter, etc, but next to no experience with residential electricity. I'm a new home owner, the only DIY'er in the house and didn't get taught about home repair, so please go easy :^)

Some background:

This fixture has been working fine for a year (moved in last summer) and recently stopped working. Turned the light on, worked for a half second, then turned off. No combination of the switches being on/off works.

What I've Done So Far:

I checked the bulbs first - all of them work in a different lamp. None of them are new. They're LEDs.

When I opened up the switches, they were all backfed connections. I went ahead and used the screw terminals. I also noticed that the ground (green) on switch 1 was NOT connected. Not sure if that's intentional?

I found this comment on another thread about determining your travelers:

>Using your meter determine which conductors have 120v to ground. Flip the switch on the other end of the 3 way and check voltages again. The one that stayed constant is your common the other 2 are your travelers. If you don’t have a meter just hook them up in different combos until it works, usually the white is the common.

So I got to work doing just that. Pictures 1 & 4 are annotated for this part:

Taking the readings on switch 1, both switches OFF, I got this:

- Red/Black (top terminal): 96V

- Red/Black (bottom terminal): 96V

- Black/Black: 96V

And when flipping the other switch ON:

- Red/Black (top terminal): 92V

- Red/Black (bottom terminal): 92V

- Black/Black: 92V

Taking the readings on switch 2, both switches OFF, I got this:

- White/Ground: 32V

- Red/Ground: 120V

- Black/Ground: 120V

And when flipping the other switch ON:

- White/Ground: 120V

- Red/Ground: 32V

- Black/Ground: 32V

So....there were NO combinations that stayed constant when I flipped the switches.

At this point I'm confused on where to go further. Any suggestions on what to try or what to look at are appreciated, and TYIA for anybody that does help out. I try to pay it forward with my own expertise.

Where to find canned Squid in INK?

My mom is trying to make a dish from her childhood, Arroz con Calamares (Rice with Calamari), but we cannot find canned squid anywhere except for oil. Does anybody know of a grocery that carries it?
