New England B.S. Thread

Ours, not a real tree though.

 

Yeah let's hope the Patriots can get a good win today. Maybe the offense can finally show up tonight?

 

They better turn up the heat! They are not looking to good right now. Mid 3rd

 

Absolutely look like hot garbage. O-line going to get Brady killed. Receivers can't get open unless they do some trick play... Horrible showing. Just pathetic.

 

I agree 100%

 

well now. some life.

 

About time! 1/2 the game the offense had no pulse. Needed that block punt to fire it up!

 

come on Defense... need a stop here

 

I found the big guy who left this rub.
For the last day of rifle, My friend and I hunted some new property south of Albany, walking a gas line trail.
I borrowed his muzzleloader because he had a decent scope compared the the fixed sights on my shotgun. we split up and walked paralleling game trails. I had the first buck I’ve ever seen run up on me in a hurry. He didn’t see me but smelled me. He ran through a thorn thicket without seeing me and I let out a bleat and he stopped broadside only 20 yards away. I put the crosshairs on him and pulled the trigger. Nothing. I couldn’t pull the trigger. I tried releasing the hammer and confirmed it was cocked back. The trigger was frozen and wouldn’t move not matter how hard a pulled. He bolted, I sat Down in the snow. I had never had something like this happen. In my head a thought that I had not pulled the trigger hard enough until later in the day I went to de-cock the hammer and the trigger wouldn’t move..again.

 

Ugh that is frustrating.

 

Pats didn't play great but they definitely got jobbed. What a frustrating game to watch. Hopefully thats the last we see of this referee crew.

 

I want to throw in the towel.
This hunting season has ended with a missing a huge buck from a gun malfunction and totaling my 4Runner

(not only the only buck I’ve seen but it would’ve been my first deer ever).

 

Yeah that as very frustrating. Sorry about the 4runner too... You definitely rolled snake eyes...

 

Ugh. Pats got hosed on that game. Not once, but TWICE on totally blown calls by the Refs. I hate to blame any loss on officiating, but come on...That was one TD for sure, and that fumble probably had at least a 50% chance of being run back for another score. Ridiculous.

Looks like a drift collector to me


How do you like that Mahindra so far? I've been looking at something in the mid-30hp range for my next tractor; now that we're running back and forth between two properties (and, frankly, I've been running into some more demanding loader work) I've been finding myself frequently wishing for something with some more HP and a higher lift rating on the loader. Refresh my memory on the model # you have?

 

I have a 2638, so 38hp and 29.5 at the PTO. I honestly really like it. I'm only at about 40+ hours but haven't had any issues except the shifting seems sticky unless on level ground. I've done loader work with shoulder pack and compost for maybe 15 of those hours and it does great with that. Loading the tires helped a lot as well since I don't carry a rear implement most the time. I've dragged logs and been snow blowing for a lot of the rest of that time with no issue. The heat and AC in the cab (if you go that route) have been fantastic.

I have noticed that in 2wd it isn't much for climbing or even pushing hard, but once you get in 4w, it works hard with no issues. Also, the Hydro was a little squeaky when I got it, I did the 50 hour fluid changes already and replaced the Mahindra fluids with Kubota stuff and probably 80% of the noise disappeared.

It doesn't have all the bells and whistles some of the newer Kubotas or whatever might have, but it has everything that I need and more IMO, and certainly more than tractors 15 years ago had. I have a friend with a 1626 who had his loader arm seals basically quit, but dealer replaced those and he hasn't had any issues since.

I noticed on the tractor forum that people like to hate on Mahindra a little, I think more out of historical performance. I think they have come a long way in the last few years though. And there are less "wtf is wrong" threads for Mahindras on that forum then some of the bigger names out there...

 

Definitely sucks.
I've had a decent season down here.

 

For all the people that talk about the breaks the Patriots get in the officiating, I want them to watch this game.

Don't forget that blown PI call to Philip Dorscett.

 

Yeah, but that's a subjective call; you see those on both sides pretty much every game so I try not to get too worked up about them.

That out-of-bounds instead of TD call, and the fumble that was blown dead instead of letting it play out was just the referees flat-out screwing up their jobs. With any possible turnover they're supposed to let the play run to completion, and then make adjustments as necessary (New Orleans got hosed on a similar officiating screwup at the beginning of this season). And if there's any question about a player successfully completing a touchdown, then they're supposed to rule it as such, and rely on the automatic review to clarify it.

 

I thought it was an Hydrostatic? Or do you mean shifting between ranges?

Edit - FWIW, that particular model of Mahindra is actually a Korean-built TYM with a Mahindra engine. There's nothing wrong with that setup; the regular TYM tractors use a Yanmar engine, which is the same company that supplies John Deere with their engines. So the whole thing is pretty commonly done (back in the 80's Yanmar was building the entire tractor for John Deere; Yanmar's were built on one side of the factory and were painted red, and John Deeres were built on the other side and got a green coat of paint)

 

I almost broke my TV last night. Actually, I'm so pissed off about it that I still might when I get home tonight after work.

Exactly! The line judge has one job in that scenario, there is only one thing he needs to be looking at when the play has moved past the line of scrimmage and the runner is near the sideline. If he couldn't see exactly, and I mean EXACTLY where the runners foot was, he should have not made any call. The forward judge would call it a TD and automatic review. They are taught to officiate that way, I am really suprised to see that screw up, it almost never happens that way. KC got screwed by a bunch of calls as well to be honest, but theirs weren't fatal.
