Scott, you must know about the Whalers of Hartford.

 

Ahhh....of course!! I was just trolling for the whalers theme song!

This old Fugg even saw em!

 

One of the best shows I have ever seen.

 

And let me remind you "Those Sox" winter down here and left on a great note......


Oh yeah, Rob here is your NICE weather

Con will bring some SUNSHINE mid-April when she flys up for the Grands Spring Vaca.....

 

Anyone ever go to the Hascom AFB Auto Skill Center? Seems like you can use their bays and tools to work on your vehicle! I knew there were places like this but I just assumed MA didn't have anything like that. I just did a little googling and came upon this:

Curious if anyone has been there and their experience. Or if you know of other places in the greater Boston area let me know!

 

OK now your just showing off! Still waiting on my invite down there sometime.

 

Anytime you want too and remember you can pull that RV down ...5 minutes up Riva' is the small state park ; it has a beach along the river and complete hook-ups....plus a play ground and this is in your back yard

BUT please bring sunscreen......we are in a WARM trend 90's till Thursday and then into the high 70's


Flights are Cheap right now also, Con is flying Punta Gorda,Fl to Pease AFB,Portsmouth ,NH for $200 round trip..

 

exactly, half of CT sounds about right, buahahahha

You have no home team! You can only beg and borrow from NJ and NYC, or maybe Buffalo.

 

I'd be lying if I told you I hadn't thought about opening up a shop with this exact premise. Rent out a bay and tools hourly to work on your vehicle.

Might be worth checking out!

 

Just found this on their site:


Our website, www.HanscomServices.com shows you all the facilities and the great programs they offer. Most 66th FSS programs, events and facilities* are open to DoD ID cardholders, including active duty, reservists, DoD civilians, NAF employees, base contractors, retirees and authorized family members according to AFI 34-262, "Services Programs and Use Eligibility." Some priority restrictions apply; please contact the facilities directly for details.

Force Support Squadron facilities are not open to the public. You must be a Department of Defense ID cardholder and have access to Hanscom Air Force Base in order to use our facilities (some have even further restrictions).

 

My brother belonged to one in San Francisco and it was awesome. He was building a custom chopper until he had to move for work.

 

Maybe I still count. I have not served, my dad did and I qualify for USAA insurance, but I don't know what the qualifications are.

Seems like we should move on this business idea! I have an MBA and work in finance and one of my good friends is a corporate lawyer so we could make it happen.

 

Oh you better believe I'd be hitting up you fine NE TW folks for crowd sourcing and ideas! Plus the standing TW discount!

 

There's one of those types of shop in Reading iirc

 

I saw them quite a few times in person. Once courtesy of 7up, and I sat next to the ref that pressed the button to signal a goal right behind the net.

 

I lived there for a year when I was 5-6 yrs old. So no real memory of sports.

 

Oh... I thought that was a trick question... I grew up north of Albany, closest thing we had to a home team was the Giants. They practiced in Albany so they had a presence there. Otherwise, it was pretty much take your pick between Buffalo, the 2 NJ teams and the Pats. Yankee fans in Albany were fair weather fans. When they were doing well, there was Yankee gear everywhere but when they were doing bad, you couldn't find a Yankee fan. That's mostly why I can't stand them to be honest.

 

Nope not here. I remember hearing about Reggie Jackson but then again who didn't back then. I moved there fall of 1979 and back to MA I think August-September 1980, I was 5-6 at that time

 

Morning all
