New England B.S. Thread

Well said. I always try to maintain a 2 way street..if it's something I can't help with, I make sure to pay well. I met my electrician about 10 years ago and he's always been good to me even though he never needs my help around the house.

Had too many "friends" in my younger years who were awfully close when they needed car repairs..ugh

 

I reckon instead of spending a fortune to do electronic tolling, why not require people on public assistance to do the job?

 

I think she just forgot to say yes. Haha. Her hand was already out.

 

Mine was just "no way..no way" and sat there staring at me.

 

Haha yeah .Glad I'll hopefully only have to do that once


Are you on nights or just up late

 

Really? That can't be right

You should have just done some heated towing mirrors.

Lol.

And just so that you know they have the turn signals in them as well

 

No the IFS skid wouldn't be anywhere near the sliders. It's the transfer case skid that can cause a problem. It's just easier to mount them all when they are from the same company. Again ask me how I know

 

Eddy is running 20% off currently

 

They hold their value, too. I looked at 10-20 year old John Deeres and Kubotas in good shape and they were barely cheaper than a new one.

 

Morning all. Been freaking slamming the last few days. Normally we get a bunch of 'first snowfalls' across our territory, so we have 4-5 days of insane business from each zone as they get their first snowfall, spread out over about 4-6 weeks. This year, we got that storm on Friday that dropped snow across our entire footprint, so everybody between VA and ME and as far west as PA has been calling in. As soon as the phones turn on in the AM, all of our lines are lit up solid until the phones turn off in the evening. Just dropping in to say "hi" before it starts again today

 

0% financing on the orange and red I think. Marihandra supposedly offers discounts like Ford on their f-150's for substantial savings on top of that.

I've been spec'ing out some Kubotas and Marihandra's, but until I have a place to store it all year and the attachments I can't make myself commit. I'm also building this house and started our business recently, so I don't really need more debt until I pay some off.

 

Sell them rubbers, make that money

 

I don't really have the space either. I could put it in the garage and still fit the truck, but then I lose a good amount of work space. I think I'd build or get one of those large sheds with an overhead door on it if I got a machine like that. Then I could dedicate that to all the outdoor power equipment.

 

Those tow mirrors are nice but I don't know if I can justify $300 for tow mirrors when I never tow. I am very tempted though.

 

Posting this here as well as the Connecticut thread...

Not sure if anyone is into fitness... I've been toying with the idea of selling my home gym setup. It would include a Rogue Fitness wall mounted rack, Rogue Monster Bench, 205lbs of weight (bar 45lbs, (2) 45, (2) 25, (2) 10 plates) and a home made deadlift platform...would be like $950.00 or so. Bar is a Ethos off brand bar, same brand plates & has collars.

Would be interested in trading for the right 3rd gen 2018 parts.

 

So how cold is it up there? We've had a few cold days, one day even got as low as 34*! But generally it's been in the 50s or so.

Have y'all had much snow?

 

Well, JERK....

It's currently 28* where I live and we had 7" of snow the other day... On Thanksgiving, when I'm running a road race it's supposed to be in the negatives....FML.

 

Didn't have any snow this morning until I hit about half way up Rt 3 near billerica and jumped onto 495 and everyone started driving like idiots. Saw a few cars shoot off the road but I wasn't in the mood to help anyone today...

That's why I matched the Skid's with the sliders. I love my SOS setup.

 

Work in Clinton had about 2-3 wet slushy snow when I left at 7. driving southeast home was just freezing rain to rain. Still took over an hour.

 

Can't wait to fix this. It's bothering me so much. Replacement glass should be in my hands tomorrow. Got it sent to my parents house just to make sure I didn't miss it before Thanksgiving. Hopefully the adhesive I have will set in the cold unless I cut the heating element wiring to bring it inside.
