New England B.S. Thread

This is my town haha. There are two right next to each other, separated only by an overpass.

Went there in July, they sold out of their flagship IPA in 45 minutes and there were no other cans for sale that day. Tasted a high-abv stout that was pretty good, though.

 

Anyone done the whiteline lca bushings and used a bench vice to press them in? Or am I going to need to take them somewhere with an actual press? I know the energy suspension ones can be pressed in with a bench vice, not sure about the whiteline though

 

They were only sold out of one thing when we got there at like 3 Saturday. Still had 4 others to buy. Wasn't too crowded either which was nice. Also no line really to get drafts....

 

Portland seems like a cool little town. I wanna go back up and hit up some more breweries and the downtown in general.

 

I'll be on the vineyard for 4 days in June

If you try with a bench vise, I guess you'll find out if all that Crossfit has been paying off!

 

jesus

 

x2, looks like Mendon needs to get with the times!

 

Yeah but they have a pretty cool drive in theater!

 

I still haven't been to a movie there even though I live 2 miles away for the last 3 years. We are going to the beer and wine festival there in Oct, though. Wife is pumped cause a country singer she loves is performing at it.

 

Mendon doesn't need anymore, they have the Mendon Muffin House!

 

I hate Dunks. Their coffee is gross and everything they make to eat has a very distinct taste to it... I can't figure it out but it's not good. Back in the day they had the most amazing donuts.. big, fluffy and always fresh. The donuts they have now are nothing like that! They are these pitiful, small, sad excuses for donuts and always stale. I have a Honey Dew near my office and it's so much better at everything they do.

 

Dunkin used to make everything fresh at each location. Now, much of it is already baked at the warehouse. They just add the frosting or whatever before displaying them.

 

Hell, my local gas station does a better job of coffee and sandwiches than Dunkin Donuts does. Half the price, too. They don't make donuts, but their breakfast sandwiches are bigger and better, and you can get any size coffee for $1.25

 

Who is performing there?

 

She's excited for Lindsay Ell. I know Timmy Brown is performing also, and someone else I'm forgetting at that moment (hadn't heard of them before).

 

Nantucket is San Francisco expensive in the summer...If you hit something boston areaish be sure to hit Codzilla in Boston. It's a 45min jet boat ride that gets you drenched. My kid LOVES it...It's right by the aquarium. You don't have to stay in boston the way you have to stay in NY to experience NY. Boston is an easy 30 min drive from MANY places to stay. Anyplace inside of Rt 495 Hotels will be good enough. You'll pay $150 less per night for your hotel so you can pay $30 to park your car all day...and if you stay in a city hotel odds are they'll still get you on the parking and your room will be 1/2 the size for 2x the price.
You can walk most of the city in a good day checking out the freedom train and north end food...Fannueil hall, Aquarium, Whale Watch, Codzilla, George's Island is a great day trip. It's an old fort in the harbor.

The Salem Ma. area is also another great day trip. House of 7 gables, Witch museums, Pebody Essex museum...

You could do some split stays...Salem for a night, boston adjacent, boston for a 3 days, then take the P-town ferry from boston to provincetown for the day (9am out, 830pm back) make a day of it on cape cods furthest out point...Then on your way back out hit Six flags in Springfield...Pretty solid week
I LOVE planning vacations. When we go away I have everything set Clark Griswold Style...

 

Ah okay. Dont know much of either of their music. Sounds like a fun time though

 

Yeah we have gone the last few years and it's a fun afternoon. These are the most well known singers to perform at it though, and they aren't huge by means haha.
