New England B.S. Thread

God dammit. I posted this yesterday morning to brag, and now today it's snowing here in Nashville. Hardly snowing, but still.

 

Yeah, I noticed the price drop big time at the Hooksett rest area on 93 just this morning. It's $2.62 which is quite cheap for the rest area.

 

Ummm, these fog lights that I have obviously been partially paying attention to, are the not just the bulbs,or are they the whole assembly?

 

KC is whole assembly

 

I ordered the Amber morimotos but they’re not on track to get here in the time they were expected and the vendor is being very quiet about the whole thing. The KCs took a while too but came in a couple days ago. I may wait to install to do a side-by-side comparison.

 

He'll just up the output to 50 watts...

 

10w almost always around here. I'll run aprs on 50w occasionally if I'm trying to hit a tower

 

10W here exclusively. Have not had the need for 50W yet.

 

Question to you tech-savvy types:
The Ram doesn't have a CD player, so I'm trying to rip my CD's to a flashdrive so I can listen to them in the car when I'm in the mood. I'm using Winamp because Windows Media Player wouldn't rip anything that was copyright protected (aka-most of them). The problem I'm running into is that Winamp will download each new cd by overwriting the tracks from the CD that preceded it. I ripped 20 some-odd albums last night, just to give them a quick test listen (before I moved them to the flashdrive) and discovered that I had 20 copies of Live Bullet (the last cd I ripped).

Is there another program that I should use? Is there a workaround to avoid this?

 

I bought an ipod for my f-150 and downloaded all hi-quality rips and just plugged it in. There aren't a lot of good options for this stuff from what I found. Most of them take a lot of time and effort. Maybe someone on here knows better though.

 

20 copies of Bob Seger... I don't see what the problem is?

 

Ok thanks

Plus I also like hearing the stuff from Against the Wind and Night Moves now and then, lol.

 

Noel, I gave up on trying to do that. With copyrights, I found it to be more trouble than it's worth. I gave up, got an Ipod and downloaded the songs I wanted.

 

Bah.

 

I think this is what I have at home: https://cdex.mu/

Works great if it is--I'll double-check when I get home to see.

 

Well ok, that is understandable. I'm even less help to you... I just do Sirius in the truck and Pandora at home.

 

Some places in the Western mountains Sirius is unreliable at best, so that's usually when I would switch to CD's with the F150. But with the Ram I'm stuck channel-surfing the FM stations, of which there aren't many (and most of them are country ) until I get back into a 'hot zone' for signal

 

I hear ya, the Sirius gets worse and worse as I travel north. Do they make better antennas? This is my first truck with it, I was wondering if the GMC shark fin is just garbage?

 

Another tech type question. I have an old figurine that has a couple of lights in it that flash randomly or at least they did until one of the lights burnt out. I found the correct size light (off the top of my head I think it's a C7) and replaced the one that was burnt out but now the light that I replaced just stays on and the other one is the only one that blinks randomly.
Does anyone know what kind of light bulb I would need?
