New England B.S. Thread

I am cooking 3 racks of ribs for a family bbq/pool party...

I saw a highlander towing a double axel camper trailer and it's back wheels were at a 45 degree angle...5000lb max towing capacity and I'll bet the 4000Lb trailer was loaded full of food, fuel and gear...I think they maybe had a home gym in there with a full set of dumbells...
I didn't have time to get a safe picture...

 

I have the kids tomorrow. Where are you guy's going?

 

Big T-storms moving through central mass right now...

 

Just started raining here. Thunderstorm supposed to be here between 9 and 10

 

I think I might actually like the Heineken light more. Jack's Abby Sunny Ridge (Pilsner) is really good too. Should try it.

 

So far the puppy has puked in her crate in the car, peed in the room we are staying multiple times, and then ran and jumped through the screen door like some sort of action movie star.....wish I had it on video.....vacation is off to a great start

 

Oh yeah. My preferred method.

 

If you are going to be there a few days put some stickers on the screen door at the puppy eye level...and one at adult eye level. My screen door has a yellow dime size smiley face at my eye level and one at the dog's eye level...I got sick of both of us busting through that thing...

 

No point now, massive hole in it lol but maybe for the one at home when we get back

 

Question. Any one here drive through CT on 84 today towing a little camper?! Looked like it was a silver Taco, pre 2012 because of the grille type, and the grille looked to be all black. It was towing a little trailer/camper type thing. Not too familiar with those so can't really give a better description. Sorry.

Saw it on my way home from work at about 3:15ish or so, in CT on 84, driving through Danbury.

Anyone??!!

 

Someone said my truck looked like Darth Vader, and I've been meaning to come up with a better screen name... so I changed it!

Just keep telling yourself you got a puppy because you wanted a dog. It gets easier my friend. Much much easier. Took two years... but the leash is just a formality now. She poops near the fence, where no one walks, comes (most of the time) when called and doesn't shit/puke everywhere in the house anymore. Granted she had Parvo and Giardia when I got her... Which royally buggered her up...

 

Massassoit

 

We give ours (Labradoodle) Bonine when taking her on long rides - like the one to come out here to the Cape. She's about 50lbs and the vet said we could give her up to 50mg. Works like a charm. I also kept the rear window open for air to circulate and she would stick her nose out the back.

 

Morning, I don't want to post this in the 3G forum since it will get destroyed as the "OMG 2016 Tacoma Sucks"

I am hoping to get confirmation for something I most likely already know, but just would like a small dose of sanity.

New truck, 6MT. I was reversing up my driveway trying to position the truck up against a wall. Since I was stopping and starting I was balancing the clutch/gas. I bogged it once or twice such that I could hear the RPM drop and then went to put it into neutral to shut it down and noticed the oil pressure warning on the center display.

I immediately killed the truck. Upon restart I heard a small clunk but the truck ran fine with no warning lights or indication of any issues from the motor. I decided to replicate the scenario by letting the truck actually stall out and I got the same oil pressure warning light and same clank on startup, which I assume was just because everything had bucked during the stall out.

I'm chalking it up to the RPM level being so low (I didn't see the tach on the initial time) as it nearly stalled that it momentary cut in/out and tripped the sensor. The truck behaves fine and the oil level is fine.

I don't think this is a 2016 specific issue, I'm assuming it to be driver error.

 

Can't say I've ever seen that happen on my 08.

 

I will never go to the Cape again during tourist season..ever. Took 3 hrs to get to the edge of Bourne to do an hour's work moving someone.

 

Yup, Saturday isn't a fun time to attempt to cross the bridge. I come & go on Sunday mornings - earlier the better. If you can cross before 10am, there's typically no backup. Friday nights are the weekenders coming on Cape, Saturday's are the renters coming and going, Sunday afternoons are weekenders leaving. Starting this weekend until the third week of August is right turns only if you want to get anywhere fast...

 

I didn't even have to take the bridge ugh..was in eye sight of it though
