New England B.S. Thread

One has a Ridgeline and a Sienna, garage looks to be a 24x24 like mine.

The other has an access cab Tacoma and an HR-V, garage is probably a bit smaller than mine but not by much.

 

On of the neighbors at my old house had a nice 2-bay garage that he never parked in despite having a very nice late model GMC 2500 Denali and I could never figure out why, until one afternoon when I drove by and he had both bays open. Turns out he didn't park in his garage because one bay had a 22 foot Triton w/a 225HP Mercury, and the other bay had a mid-60's Corvette, I think either a '65 or a '66.


Edit- This guy.

One guy on my road has a massive garage. Probably 16 ft tall doors. He has it open a lot and there are often two International big rigs in it. I think he has a small trucking business and those are his only two trucks.

 

I was in Boston all day yesterday. Didn't start snowing till about 8. Had a few stretches of the mass pike to myself. Couldn't see more than 10 feet for most of it. Felt like I was driving on a treadmill because the scenery wasn't changing.

 

Open the garage doors next storm, then move her closer to the outdoors

 

I thought it was just going to be rain, then we we were turning all the lights off to go to bed I asked Molly "Why is it so bright outside?". That's when we noticed everything was covered in snow haha

 

Looking at putting racks on the roof of my cap and saw this on youtube....

It looks like a reinforcement system to put roof rack on - I had planned on doing an aluminum skeleton inside the cap to reinforce it but this might be a cheaper option... Thoughts?

 

Crazy shitty day today. Had a 3/4 domestic water pipe break and completely soak 2 new elevs. One we just finished last night. I tried posting the vids but they don't load. @mach1man001 I will send them to you, please post for me

 

Today sucks, I got stuck more than I have in a few years total all in one day! I thought mine was bad, but I didn't have to deal with any floods or shitty clean-ups, thanks for putting it in perspective!

 

damn....

I shoulda come up to ride shotgun with you today.

 

At least you got out for some riding

 

You don't have tracks on your shell?

I think @ERMB did some kind of reinforcing inside his shell, I could be wrong though (I just had an afternoon beverage ).

 

Yeah I am going to attach the drag tomorrow and try to get some nice cord down by the time my parents get up around lunchtime. Snow should be good up here for a long time tho if you get a chance!

After I got it free and was done breaking the trail I did a handful of hot laps all over, I figured I had earned it! Also let me appreciate the fact that yeah things didn't go as planned, but there aren't a ton of things I'd rather be doing on a day like this!

 

Thanks.
I have the kids on Saturday. Was thinking pancakes at Ioka Valley. Maybe watch them boiling down some syrup too.

 

Can't go wrong at Ioka, nice people over there and they have really done a lot to make it fun for people to go visit!

 

Amazing, is all I have to say on that subject. I have studded Hakkapeliittas on my truck. Just, amazing.

 

Good luck Drew. In my experience, you'll never get an increase to what you're worth by staying in your current position. Either within the company to a new role, or to a completely different company doing a similar job, is where all of my best pay increases have come from.

 

Thanks Eammon, i talked to my foreman he he said they had a meetinf yesterday and I was brought up about being under paid. I also snuck in that I was poking around for new shops to hopefully light a fire under their ass

 

Atta boy Drew!

Gotta look out for yourself man, cause you know they won't. Gotta do what's best for you.

 

That’s my best friends grandparents place haha always a good breakfast there and the syrup boil is cool to watch plus they have a little mini cooker for doing demos with kids

Edit: also if the baby isn’t here by then we might head over there on Saturday to
