New England B.S. Thread

On a nice day, I'd do Route 2 past Greenfield into North Adams, then 8 up into Stamford, then VT9 from Searsburg to Bennington. It's not the most direct way, but they are beautiful roads. Actually probably wouldn't be bad even on a day like today, they're all state roads.

If you want a good pizza, Ramuntos in Bennington is great.

I'm told Henry's Market is worth a stop too. I've never been there, but have had lots of things from there that others bought and it's always great.

 

I just wanna be in and out. I hate visiting these accounts

 

That hairpin on Route 2 while dropping down into North Adams may be a little slippery! Fully agree with your sentiment though - that drive is a beautiful one.

 

So I would think by having a nice ride it would make it worth it

 

I dunno. I drive so much it’s just a chore. I’ve had the fj just over a month I think and I’ve put 4K miles on it

 

I may be biased because that hairpin turn is just barely in my town.

2 from Williamstown into NY is an awesome road too.

 

Ah. You are more than likely on your way.
I would say that 90 to 7 would be best.
91 and over 9 may be sketchy.

 

2 is a great road.

 

Last time I drove the section into NY it I picked up furniture in Albany and had a 16 ft trailer behind me. Kept thinking how nice it would be if I wasn't towing something up those hills and around the bends.

 

Yes.
There are some good ones along there.
Petersburg pass comes to mind.

 

@macdadmorgan been out yet?

 

You get the day off today? We closed two in a row.

I'm getting a decent amount done with nobody around.

 

Of all places, I'd be pretty happy to go to Bennington. It's got to be a million times better than Hartford or Springfield!

 

Here too. Little surprised about today, but eh.
Was thinking of going in to clean my room up a bit. But I have more snow removal to do.

 

or Pittsfield.

 

No teachers have shown up here today. Don't know about the other schools. I thought about just using a vacation day.

 

Morning y'all! Sorry I've been fairly absent on here. Been reading more than replying.

Flew back into Boston Wednesday evening, just beat the snow. Drove in to work today since it is a coworker's last day. Getting the truck out was fun.

I had cleared off most of the snow Wednesday evening, but there was a good amount of ice after sitting outside through three weeks of winter. This morning I had snow drifts almost up to the headlights, so I cleared the snow off the top, threw it in 4lo and drove right out. I doubt anyone is taking my spot!

 

Are you in now?

 

Yup. Not many of us here.

 

Hell, stick around and twiddle your thumbs since you are there. Use a vaca day when it is worth it. imo.
