New England B.S. Thread

that's where i grew up monica!

 

My wife has 2 cousins that live in Rochester. One works there and the other is going to RIT where all her sisters went

 

I still go up to the North Country most every summer to visit my sister/bro-in-law. She in the middle of nowhere on the edge of the Adirondack Park on a pond that has only about 20 camps on it. Great place to get away and fish and just hang. No cell service a plus!

 

What's snap chat? Is that like Instagram or something?

 

you can send photos and videos to people and then only show up for like 8 seconds and then they're gone

 

Sounds like a sexting app.

 

Well it can be. Mostly for people to send funny or dumb shit.

 

Just got back from zip lining. Had an awesome time! Toughest part was convincing yourself it was ok to jump out of a tree 200' above the ground.

 

So it's like photobucket, except everything disappears in seconds instead of months?

 

Your right, for some reason I was thinking we left them with you. I just checked they were both I'm there.

 

Cool good to know you got them. I thought I had left them both for you. I remembered that I took out the extension cords and the water hose. Do you have any trips planned?

 

Since I knoew shit about tires...I have 215-70-15 now. Would it matter to use 205-65-15 on one axle where I'm a 2 wheel?

 

Nothing planned yet but next week we might do something before my work starts. Need to finish up some projects I started first.

 

Awesome

 

How about you, any plans?

 

Just our PA trip at the end of July. We usually figure out a couple of long weekends afterwards too

 

Just finished a long day down at Barrett-Jackson's 1st event here in the North East at Mohegan Sun in CT. As I have never been to a car auction like that before, I definitely had a great time. But I found a vehicle I wasn't expecting for sale today:

This was the Artic truck built a few years ago, it sold today for $48,000 (said it took $400k to build in 2010).
I also saw a nice 1970 FJ-40:

Didn't see how much this sold for, as I left the area before is was going across the block.
I also saw Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey, as he sold a couple cars today.
Barrett-Jackson will be back next year, and if you can make it, I highly recommend going as it was a really fun day!

 

Nice. Just saw an article on that Tacoma the other day. I like it except for the oversized anti-roll bumper.

 

If you walked by it and didn't see the front bumper, you could run into it!

 

Whereabouts?

Check out the Springdale Summerland 1800. I was originally looking at that same exact camper but found that the Springdale had some nice advantages over the Forest River. The Forest River was nice, but the Springdale was 2' longer, a little over a foot wider and had a higher payload. The Wolf Pup only gives you 750 lbs, 250 of it being fresh water, the Springdale gives you 1300. If you want to see mine, let me know. The inside layouts are the same but the storage configurations are different. The Springdale has the pass through storage in the front but the Wolf Pup has the rear door to the lower bunk which was nice but I could see that being bad for my 3 year old to get out of in the night. There were some other differences that may or may not make a difference to you, but I chose the Springdale because of them and ultimately the price difference between the 2 sealed the deal.
