New England B.S. Thread

BTW on the 9th I was 48 yikes two more years and AARP !!

 

Heh, you mean YOUR 21, I have a 36 gallon tank tucked under mine

Does the 4Runner get better fuel economy than the Tacoma or comparable?

Happy Birthday to everyone we may have missed in the last couple weeks!

 

You knew what I meant.. They are almost the same gas milage maybe +1 mpg.

 

Cold weather with steelies and 285 toyos is beating the hell outta my mileage. Not much highway either this time of year. Would be alot worse if I gave a shyte...lol

 

When oil is under $50/barrel, mpgs are irrelevant.

 

MPGLOL

Who had that sticker? I want to say it was Alex.

 

Stickers

 

I believe it is under $30 a barrel now.

 

Yup

 

My wife's averages 22-23 in the summer, and thats with her driving like a nascar racer. Pretty decent for a box on wheels.

 

In the summer highway driving I can manage 21 so you get +2/3. You also have a bigger tank, thus more range.

 

Favorite New England state, and the best job prospects for Union Ironworker?

 

I'm partial to Maine and NH.

For union ironwork though you might be best around a city like Boston.

 

Anyone else flying tomorrow? Got a message from our travel people that there is a baggage handler/ fueler/ custodial staff strike planned tomorrow at basically every major east coast airport but haven't been able to find any mention of it on the internets.

Anyone else hear this too? My flight out of Logan is at 5am so likely before any of that starts, but I'm connecting through Philly then DC on my way to wild, wonderful WV. Which concerns me since I'll probably need to check a bag with a hard hat, boots, suit, dress shoes, and regular clothes.

 

Thanks. That's good to know. Any Ironworkers in here? The family and I are planning a trip out there this summer. Fly in to Boston,rent a car and start exploring.

Airport workers at several airports plan to strike on Monday, January 18, to campaign for higher wages, benefit packages and job protection.

I just ran across an add for a silver 5' cap on wallapop priced at 375. I can't make out the brand. It's located in Wallingford CT.
