New England B.S. Thread

Today I came to a realization. The bed drawer that I got a month or two ago, isn’t working the way I wanted it to. When it’s in the truck, it leaves too little bed space between it and the bed cover for me. Would be PERFECT if I had a cap. I’ve found that it’s just sat in my garage more than it’s been in the bed. I’m going to replace it with a smaller plastic tool box. Anyone potentially interested in it?

 

Wow. No posts almost all day long. What was everyone up to all day?

 

Right at the same time!

How long is the box?

 

did some grocery shopping, took the pups for a run in the field with the wife, got some stuff for tomorrow, and just hung out. What’s up with you rob?

 

Without putting a tape on it, I’m not sure, but it leaves about a 1” gap before the tailgate, when pushed up against the wheel wells

 

Went to my son's basketball game this morning. Hung out with the family the rest of the day. Going to La Salette in a little bit though

Short or long bed?

 

Longbed, but I think the distance is the same. I think the bedspace loss occurs in the front of the bed near the cab. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

 

This thread was dead today.......

 

Been a busy day...
Started off hung over like no other. According to the receipts my buddies and I went through 21 bottles of Soju last night...

After eating and rehydrating I started to button up my Christmas present to my team - It's been well over a decade since I built a scale model, figured with all the equipment I already have I would get back into it to help pass time in the winter season. This is a Lockheed Martin U-2. I'm super rusty and this is the first time I tried using weathering techniques, normally I build cars and they're supposed to be pristine so no weathering. This model was in horrible shape when it arrived, a ton of overmolding and almost 40% of the model was warped from improper storage from the ebay seller I bought it from. I had to use hot water to help form it back into usable shape and then bondo/sand the hell out of it because all the lines were off. The decals also wouldn't seat properly and took nearly 1/2 an hour of soaking to even start to release...

The santa claus will be mounted behind it as if the U-2 is pulling the sleigh and it will be hung up in the lab at my work. I'll take a finished photo when I have it all setup (not at work obviously).











I just started this AH-64 Apache today, took about 4 hours on the cockpit alone trying different weathering techniques to make it look used. Didn't get any photos of it yet.

 

Nice @Bruce988jl !

What time you heading down to toys for tots?

 

Well it's about an hour away from my house so maybe at like 7:45ish? Want to roll down together and do #overland parking?

 

Soju? as in "soju remember anything last night?"

 

@BananaPeelOut it's expensive swap to do but it pays off in the end. I'm running a Vizio 65" 4k and have a Nice sound bar; fairly minimalistic but kicks ass! That website @BigMacMcCoy linked was awesome, basically allowed you to sort and compare depending on how the TV will get used.

 

Morning everyone! Was cold yesterday! Had a few appointments that went well, and then came back up and helped my brother and dad get their trees. Then had dinner with my parents and all the nieces and nephews then made some lollipops after dinner for them. Good day over all.

Now a relaxing morning before my cousin and his kids come up for trees/sledding and an early dinner.


Happy with this weekend, but wish I had more time to hit up Toys for Tots, just too far away for me to make it today. But all you guys have fun out there and good luck!!

 

Going "big tree hunting" with my son today.
There are a few stashes around in the county. Let's see if he is impressed.

 

Hopefully you catch a big one!

 

Thanks for having us today @mach1man001 !

 

Alright, just booked my flights and air-bnb for Montana! The house is small outside of town but 5 miles or so from Yellowstone entrance, and the photos show bison, elk and goats on the deck and laying down in the yard. Also two companies in the town a few miles away run snowmobile rentals. Just need to rent a car and we are all set. Getting pretty excited!

 

Sweet deal
I'm jealous, have a great time and soak it up!

 

Sounds like fun! How long are you going?
