New England B.S. Thread

He's good. Already back home. Definitely had a concussion. Hit his head on a cobble stone and. Angle swelled up. Leg hurts from knee down and his hip. Already talking about going backuback and painting.....

 

Good to hear he’s relatively okay! Maybe keep him down on the ground for a week or so until the head clears up though!

 

He's wearing a duck foot so he can't do much for a while.

Also discovered the pin hole part is the check valve on the air compressor

 

@jpereira2 Glad to hear your dad's ok, that could have been really bad at that height with a head injury! Maybe convince the doctors to have him wear the duck foot a little longer so he stays off the ladder as long as he should to heal up!

 

I’m glad he is ok

 

Drywall sucks. While I’m getting better at it, it sucks

 

@Noelie84 can you tell me the correct way to prune my Niko blue hydrangea? I would think that by now that I would have new growth coming up the stem or the wood as they call it I just don’t know how short to chop them off

 

Anyone installed bolt on sliders around Rhode Island ct eastern MA area? I got a lot of the bolts in but there’s no good instal guide from any company and I’m missing about half the bolts. They’re strong enough to stand on but I wouldn’t use them as a trampoline and don’t want to use them as sliders until they’re fully done up. I can pay in beer or sex acts but I think we’d all prefer beer (or similar) to lend a hand to finish them off.

one more week at work then I have a week off. Have a few small yard tasks but I’m going to try to get as much done during the week after work so I can basically have a full week to do nothing and/or fun stuff I want to do instead of yard work. Might even make it to the beach!

 

Which bolt on sliders do you have? When I had the BAMF ones, he provided this thing that was like a nut on a stick so you could put it inside the frame and bolt from the outside. If you're missing those pieces from a kit like that, you might need to go back to the source. His bolt on sliders also utilized existing holes in the frame for the side but required you to drill into the bottom of the frame. I never drilled mine, but that can be a real bitch. Does it look like you have to drill your frame to install yours?

 

I just did rci sliders and had plenty of left over hardware.

 

I have SOS I don’t have to drill.

by missing hardware I mean I have the bolts and nuts but either can’t figure out how it goes on or what the instructions are trying to say as far as moving stuff out of the way and whatnot. Sorry I wasn’t clear on that, no SOS sent all the hardware I just can’t figure some of it out.

some of it is just access to the mounting points too. The instructions do show the nut on an extending magnet, I don’t have one of those (and me being me I just looked at the sos IFU today....) I can borrow one from work I think.

SOS. But I phrased that badly. I have the hardware but I’m missing where it goes on the frame or how to get it on there. Like there are some mounting points that show a bolt goes in but there’s no f***ing way that’s going to happen as is. Hence me asking if anyone had done them at all and could offer some assistance.

 

Did you pop off the plastic hole covers?

 

Yup. Hope I don’t need to reuse those because the circular ones did not play well.

 

I have a .pdf for you. I can send it over. Give my a quick second.

 

@taco-houla , here is a quick poc post for a 2019. Look at the third post.

thanks! This will help me a bit I think. It actually does answer one question I had about the box on the driver side so that does help. But my sliders aren’t close tubed on the cross bars like the ones pictured so I have some more interference in places. I think with the magnet stick and this I should actually be able to get it better.

 

I was “that” guy today. For some reason, no one would follow me on the interstate

 

@m603holden , what kind of kayak do you have? I’m looking to upgrade to a fishing kayak

 

I've got a feel free lure and a few old Town lake kayaks
