Happy New Year everyone!

 

PM incoming Dan @Sidponcho for Rob @mach1man001

 

Do it! It’s nice!

 

I didn't even think of Endangered Species.. Thanks Jared

 

Are those supposed to be a NJ treasure? haha Ive never heard of them being a NJ delicacy . Porkroll and Bagels on the other hand though

 

Thank you for the info! I will certainly check them out. It looks like there is not the best weather in store for the weekend which might limit us a little to mostly indoor things.

I saw this and thought it seemed pretty cool. Thank you! Maybe we will get there with the sheet weather thats in store.

 

So, how was everyones first night? Me , I had a headache that came and went throughout the work day. And by the time I was finished cleaning up my driveway it worsened to screaming. So I ended up in bed about 10:30P . Feel much better now. Going to take a ride to see my family. I really don’t want to , but I have no interest in traveling Sunday as I will be working Saturday and I want some rest

 

Not sure if anybody mentioned the Union Oyster House in Boston. If seafood is to your liking, it is excellent.

 

I thought it was called Taylor Ham?

 

Question about outdoor grills . Does anybody know where I can find a shield to block the wind ( back and sides) ? Been kinda sorta looking with no real effort. This way might be better .....

 

Haha Dont get me started!

 

Happy New Year everyone (though I have never been a fan of the BS that is NYE).

I gambled on a CL purchase this AM and lost. I'm out $20 which is pretty lame, but I knew it going into it. I didn't think I'd still be so salty about it.

A guy was selling a Hypertech Power Programmer III for the Vette. They have a pretty crap reputation in the LS world but they let you change the temperature at which the fans kick on, which was worth it for me even if I didn't play with the tunes. Like all handhelds they VIN lock. I asked about the VIN lock and the guy said he didn't know as his son had bought it for him second hand thinking it would work on his older C4. For $20 I took the risk knowing it could likely be a paperweight.

It's a paperweight. A friend of mine wants to rip it apart and see what he can make of it. It's only $20 and I knew going into it I'd likely lose $20, yet part of me is still grumpy. I feel the same way when I redeem all my cans and spend the redemption money on scratch tickets and win nothing.

Anyone here got any New Years resolutions? I'm going to try to be less rounded around the edges this year. I'm 60 pounds heavier than I was in college, and likely 35 pounds heavier than I should be. (eating Christmas candy as I type this).

 

A healthier lifestyle in terms of fitness. I have a new treadmill that I/we never use . It is three years old and is rarely used. I also have weights as well so I need to get on top of that .....

 

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I also need to get my ass off the couch and lose some weight. I was such in great shape from high school going into college. Then I gained about 50lbs.... I dont think I will ever be the weight I was then but would love to lose at least 30.

 

Any loss can only help.

 

For sure! Especially, since I am borderline on high cholesterol (found out after seeing the doc in June). Also I need to try and get some what of a "beach bod" when the wife and I go to Croatia this summer for our 5 year anniversary.

 

Not sure, that was one mod I haven't got around to considering yet.

 

I was thinking about that place too. Also the nostalgia of being the oldest restaurant in the US.

 

My new 'back yard'. My wife works right across the street from the Capitol and we live about a half hour east from Montpelier.

 

I didn’t know that! So cool
