New England B.S. Thread

Progress with the F-250 so far:

I replaced the worn out factory springs with stock replacements. I replaced the mirrors with newer style mirrors. I put new wheels and tires on it. I installed a triple gauge pod on the pillar. I replaced all the speakers with Pioneer, installed an Alpine double din, and I installed a Kenwood sub behind the bench too.

While I’ve been unemployed, I replaced the water pump gasket and resealed the engine oil cooler that was pissing oil out.


And my uh-oh on Sunday! Lol

 

Something don't look right there...

 

Happy Birthday Rebecca @DoubleRGirl!

 

thanks everyone!

 

That must've been fun getting it out of the woods.

 

Happy Birthday, congrats on making it one year further into Cougar territory!

That's actually a pretty classic 'Ta-Daa' pose from the truck.

 

Actually, that wasn't as bad as we thought. We drilled out two of the studs, then found two bolts that looked about right and ugga dugga'd them in. It did the trick!

Yeah, that's its 'spend money on me pleaseeeee' pose.

 

Oh, so it's just spreading its legs, then.

 

yep, only a couple more years until 40. madd official

 

Precisely!

 

Nah, the real test of cougarism is if you can still pull a 20-something at 40. Then you will get the merit badge!!

 

I don't usually shop but have been doing the "just a few things" type trips lately..ideally I prefer to not have my wife go out in a crowded store.

UGH. I'm sure I missed at least one when it started, but I've also made sure to be aware of them. Missed one last night at Market Bastard, and just quickly backed up and went the correct direction. And yeah if I find said traffic jam I'm moving the cart with my cart no questions asked.

Last night makes the second time I've almost lost my shit on someone for that. April I was in Job Lot and the guy runs in front of me (wrong way) so now I can't keep going and after about 15 seconds looks at me and says "Oh I guess I was supposed to go the other way, OOPS!"..and just stands there and keeps doing his thing. So I said "oh I see so you know, you just don't care am I right?" he looked bumfuzzled that I said it but IDGAF.

Last night, I'm turning up an aisle in the correct direction and some couple looking about early 20s are coming the wrong way, almost barrel into me..see me and then just pull the cart back and park in mid aisle, he's standing with the cart looking at me and she's getting something off a shelf so I can't get around them. I happen to be right at the arrow and just look at my feet (on the arrow) and he finally moves. I look up "Oh I just was checking to make sure I was going the right direction" and he said "yeah I'm the one going the wrong way..". So I glare and say "well it's good you at least realize it, not so good that you don't care you fucking bellend!" Jaw drops and I walk away while glaring and telling him "better close your mouth before your mask falls off you shitpickle".

 

Morning! Anyone need a morning chuckle?

3rd gen snorkel, or backup hockey stick?

 

Not a snorkel guy, but that could make a nice stick for next hockey weekend

 

In case you need a light weight snorkel for racing through puddles.


F1 tech right there

 

Morning all. Happy Hump Day!

I'm sure she will. Even without her own merits, the Asian heritage provides an unfair advantage in that regard until menopause.

 

Hi. Is it ever going to rain? The rivers around here are so low it's crazy.

 

They're saying maybe some thunderboomers in my area later today, but that won't do any good because the ground is so dry. It'll help the lakes & rivers some, but it won't soak in at all.

 

I actually really like it. I do wish that they made these for 2nd gens but I do have to say that $800 is a very steep price

 

I do kind of like it if I wanted a snorkel. Not CF though. But if Toyota is pushing snorks on the Pros for some stupid reason, at least that looks good.

Sorry, DESERT AIR INTAKE not a snorkel.

There's a comic for that somewhere but I am not about to search "aging asian woman comic" at work

Was out in the trails last night, you wouldn't know from the bugs that it was dry. We were kind of close to a swamp and they got worse as you got closer, but good lord - even as a new englander woods person, last night was baaaad. Went out toward the coast though after that and there weren't any closer to the water. We're at florida style PM boomers for the next few days, looks like Monday and Tuesday showers? My lawn could use it too.
