I'll take some pics and give you the report lol

 

My Friday too! The wife and I are breaking in the RTT this weekend up in Maine. We're friends with the owner of Back Country Excursions (a mountain bike guide) and I help him out every summer for his Bike & Brew fest. There's live music on Friday and Saturday night around a bonfire, lobster bake with steamers, corn and potatoes on Saturday, all the beer you can drink all weekend, a wood fired hot tub, outdoor showers, a great beach nearby... oh, and a shit-load of mountain biking. Not to mention all the great people I meet each year, some of them have become real good friends.

 

is it on my way to Moosehead? Would be worth a layover, well I think it would be, not sure about family.

 

It's in Parsonsfield, just over the state line east of Ossipee, NH about an hour west of Portland.

 

I lived in Parsonsfield a while back, nice part of the state. Enjoy.

 

Happy hump day

Where are yall?

 

OBX, NC

 

Anyone know of a shop near South VT that rebuilds Fox coilovers? Lockring is seized, an air chisel on a 5/16 punch budged it, but looked it started to strip it. Didn't want to mangle the collar. I even compressed the spring, no dice.

 

Everyone flexin' on @Blais03 with their RTT's while he's waiting for the mail man like a starving dog




@Trailbutter It might be a real stretch, but find a ford dealer who services the raptor shocks...they might be willing, or a tech after hours. I had a hell of a time finding someone to rebuild mine around WMASS and Southern CT. Ended up getting my dealer service manager to do it after some negotiations.

 

Really hoping my threads aren't stripped.

 

Its killing me.

 

Also a shout out to a nice rig I saw crossing the bridge from new Hampshire to Brattleboro VT.

 

Big storm in Southampton this afternoon, lots of trees and wires down. I hope everyone in the areas that were affected is safe.

Thats a pretty badass picture

 

I do what i can

 

The pd Facebook page would like that one

 

Man, the humidity today was rough.

I was working in the lab all day which isn't air conditioned (boo hoo, I know) but we are required to wear long pants, a collared shirt and steel toed boots for safety reasons. It got toasty after the 4th hour of diagnosing why the temperature controllers weren't working correctly.

 

Is it normally air conditioned? I use to work in a lab with no A/C and then when they finally added it what a difference...I know the struggle of long pants, lab coats...gloves filling with sweat....

 

What kind of LAB has no A.C.?
