New England B.S. Thread

The part that annoys me right now is this guy.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/13/watch-billionaire-david-tepper-break-down-the-parts-of-the-market-that-may-be-overvalued.html

This prick went on the news and said a bunch of crap that tanked the market and he knew would tank it. Now it’s on a sharp rebound, shockingly, after a sharp dive (up a lot this morning). I can almost guarantee this walking waste of oxygen made out like gangbusters (and maybe some of his close friends too) by going into the news and saying what he said so the market would crash for a few days.

everyone’s all up in arms about a senator who sold their stock when China’s supply chain was crippling, anyone with half a brain should have known to bail out then. But this guy gets a free pass?

sorry rant over.

GOOD DAY. yard work all day replacing my mulch beds with stone and a pebble section in the back yard getting taken up and just going grass back there. Lots of yard work this week, I have the week off so Geronimo. Going to need a beer at the end of all this.

tires or wheels too?? Could be convinced in the 4Runner pro wheels maybe.

 

Just the stock T4r off road tires.

 

shucks. Sorry, that’s a no from me.

 

No problem homie.

 

Morning peoplefaces. Monday again...

 

Got the dock rearranged yesterday; 3 hours in the water digging out the pipe bases, moving the frames, and reconnecting & leveling everything. Could not feel my feet when I got it all finished. The old owners had some sort of plywood platform/gangplank monstrosity going out to the dock and it was in pretty sorry shape. So this spring I tore it all out and rebuilt the deck at the water's edge. Then yesterday I brought in the section of dock they had behind the shed (no idea why they were using their homebuilt POS instead?) and set that up, and moved the stuff that was further out back in a little closer to shore.

Before:


During (I only stopped to get one picture of the during; I didn't want to spend any more time than I had to in that water!):


After:


Celebratory beer in the sun, with long pants and wool socks to warm my legs back up



Water temp was 44 degrees; I thought I was going to have to send a search party to find my unmentionables.

 

Can you send me a picture

 

Yep. I'll pm you in a bit

 

Pick up a wetsuit for $50 on Amazon...then you can paddle board...and fall in and not freeze...just don't forget to wear a covid mask...you don't want a Karen spotting you!

 

They need a captain planet type meme for Karens that says " By the power of the PTA board!"

first legal day of funemployment, third day of real estate classes

 

Meh. The GF has one of those cheapo Amazon units and it's pretty useless. Besides, this is a permanent docking system, so now that it's in place I'm leaving it there

 

Looks good, awesome views!

Mentioned old owners, is this a new spot for you and the lady? Or a family camp?

Either way, envious, even with the cold water!

 

I use this one for Scuba...it's solid and works great.

Anyone have an exhaust reroute done in NH who was happy with the work?

 

Funny, I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering buying a Lariat to replace this truck (1.9% and $2250 in manufacturer incentives is probably better than I'll see again--Ford tends to be proud of the upper trim levels) and the dealer closest to me that has the truck I'm most interested in is the least responsive. Others with trucks that I'm less interested in are at the borderline annoying level that I'm accustomed to.

I've never experienced a dealer that doesn't seem interested in actually making a sale before. Right now I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they're still fixing the tiny ding it got in transport and don't care to talk until then.

 

I'll keep it in mind if I need to move the dock in the spring again

 

Thanks for sharing! Sorry about your loss! We too have lost a family member to this horrid thing.

Well said!

Thank you Mike!



***** READ THIS**** Guys, you need to stop talking about politics! I don't want to have this thread shut down for not following forum rules!

 

We bought it last summer. Been doing a lot of work on it since. The previous owners were elderly and had had the camp building itself recently redone so that was in good shape, but everything else needed a lot. All of the outdoor stuff needed a lot of deferred maintenance or outright replacement. The back lot was totally overgrown and had a bunch of massive pines that had to come down due to insect/weather damage. Still quite a few very large pines back there, but at least all that's left are healthy trees now.

 

Whatcha looking to get done? I have a guy in Lowell - used to be my shops' foreman and fabricator.
