New England B.S. Thread

Honestly, if you put on any of their specials (either Top Gear or The Grand Tour), I will watch it, they are all really good!

I thought I saw some when they were building it, I just wasn't looking for them either.

 

Tennessee is still too far north for that....

Now, this sounds like home to me. I'd probably be the only one in the group interested in going SOUTH when its peak summer....

 

Heating oil and diesel fuel are essentially the same thing. Heating oil is dyed red so if it's suspected you are using it on the road they have a way to prove it.

 

My dad's F-250 has the same problem with the doors. I think it's the front passenger door that doesn't always latch when it's below freezing.

 

Chemically they are slightly different as well. Jet A is an light amber color, diesel is similar in color, home heating oil and off-road diesel are red. You can send out a sample it will come back as a different chemical make up. They are all interchangeable though

 

Damn, I missed them completely. I kept looking for them when they did the action shots from underneath but missed them in the build. Sounds like grounds for a rewatch

Depends on where you're setting the bar. Tennessee is too far south for me!

I'm telling you, PB Blaster (or liquid wrench). I didn't have to go nuts with it either, just a little bit and cycle it in so it coats the components of the latch. I had the same issue, it froze with the latch in the 'closed' position. The door would open, but then latched so it wouldn't stay closed afterwards. I was basically shutting the door against a closed latch. I had to use a screw driver to get the latch 'unlatched' so I could close the damn door.

 

Morning, hoo-mans. Happy Hump Day!
Didn't have to scrape the windshields this morning, for a change. They were covered in snow, but even though it was 28 out it wasn't frozen on.

 

Time for you to move south!

 

Honestly, if there was enough money to be made, Virgina Beach area is about the perfect climate... Almost...

Prefer my hot Deep South Texas Coast, but, Virginia has ocean, mountains, woods, etc..

Kinda like up here, but, warmer.

 

I will say, I did enjoy living in Richmond, VA. It's a nice city, about 1.5 hours to VA Beach, 2-3 hours to OBX, 1.5 hours to the mountains in central VA and it was a real nice trip getting there also. I took the bike out 64 quite a few times to get to the mountains, ride some passes for a bit, hike, eat lunch then come back home. Average of 330 days of sun a year also!

 

Not safe for work, language. If y'all need a good laugh. Happy hump day. 2:17 is my favorite

What? No. If I'm moving anywhere, it'll be further into the snow belt.

 

I tried one of the new food offerings at fenway yesterday that wasn't awful....It was a breakfast burger. It's a pre-cooked burger stored in a steel bin of warm water and a pile of burgers heated on a grill for 2 min, a fresh fried egg on top of waffles as a bun...It comes with jam on it but I asked for maple syrup instead (they have french toast sticks there as well) it was good but really needs a piece of cheddar cheese...Oh and it was $12.00 (regular $12.50) which is what it would cost to buy a whole box of waffles, a dozen burgers, a dozen eggs AND some cheese at the grocery store...I usually eat before or after a game but since it was opening day I fatty pig fatty'd it..

Royal Rooters club wings and nachos...BTW a bunch of the menu items went up as much as FOUR DOLLARS since last year...

Championship Flag...

And the traffic home...

 

Last year was a tough year to be a Los Angeles sports fan

 

Have you seen the concession model that the Atlanta Falcon's owner started at their stadium? Last year they had a record high attendance and record high concession sales. I'm surprised more places haven't tried to copy.

 

Same here, honestly. I don't understand why so many stadiums & ballparks haven't figured out that when you try to rape people on food/booze prices they're just going to opt out of purchasing because they can't get past the sticker price. People won't spend $12 for one beer, but if you make it $6 they'll get a couple

 

Honestly I wonder if it has to do with controlling waste management in regards to cost. But I have to assume there is more money to be made the way atl is doing it

 

Probably a lot of it has to do with keeping the # of belligerently drunk fans under control, too.

 

I personally get tanked before going Into the stadium before the game so I don't have to buy $13 beers. So I'm not sure how effective that is haha

 

Cask and Flaggon! Yessa
