New England B.S. Thread

It says to let it dry fully for 20 minutes before applying. I will re-read but I didn't see a "if you don't apply by" direction. I can always reach out to them I suppose.

edit: I called, didn't pick up so I just emailed. Will see.

 

My brother in law does shoreline reconstruction on Eastern Long Island and sends me all sorts of hilarity from the Hamptons.

 

Gloves can help if you use them correctly, I glove up the right hand before going into the store and just make sure to have my keys and debit card in my left pocket, then pick up stuff or touch doors with right hand.

Buddy of mine was doing that type of thing at our tournament last year and yeah it would be stupid, plus he was doing nothing but that anyway and using his own materials and tools.

*raises hand* that's me. Did the breezeway in my house 2-3 times by now due to it looking like ass when we first moved and having water damage. I'm due to hit it again due to water damage on the ceiling and a pipe busting in the left side.

Countess Bathory is a drywaller? No shit!!

 

Sorry I know this is an old post but did you ever go to Off Road Elements? If you check their Instagram there are a bunch of pictures of Tacoma’s one of which belongs to the owner. I’ve been thinking about going to them also.

 

Any of you folks, particularly Western MA, driven the Sucker Pond road outside of Bennington VT? Would you take stock trucks down it?

 

I'm thinking it is not stock truck friendly after watching this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knCV_jlRMx8

 

I think a stock truck could do it. Would help to not be on stock tires. Would it be friendly? I mean....maybe not

 

Thanks for labeling not wife friendly, helps know which vids not to show her.

 

min Naples,Maine, and I found this. Anybody know what it is? Should I warn the forestry?

 

No idea what it is. But yes. Might be nothing, might not. Always err on the side of "oh, crap" with that sort of stuff.

 

Not sure but don't the invasive Asian Long horned beetle have markings on sides?

 

Maybe I'll plan a reroute but leave this on the table if people are feeling adventurous.

 

My rocker is already dented and it's a maybe if it'll be repaired by the trip, so F it why not

 

Looks like the 1st gen is stock, one of the Pickups looks stock other than 31s or 33s under it as well

 

I put stock friendly hand in hand with having an inexperienced driver. I'm sure there are plenty of experienced off road drivers with stock trucks but, to me, when I see stock friendly I think 'hey, that looks like fun' and you get goobers like me with extremely limited off road experience on the trip.

 

I'd report it with the photo and let them sort out what it actually is. I'm no expert, but it resembles the Asian Longhorned Beetle enough to maybe have the experts take a look.

 

My offroad experience is limited as well, and we will have a couple of folks there (@mach1man001 for example) who have a lot more experience, but I don't really know what the rest of the mix will be like. I'm sure with proper spotting even an inexperienced driver can get through it, hell Rob talked me through this in a bone-stock truck on my first ever trail ride:

 

Looks doable in a stock vehicle to me. it'll really be dependent on how wet it is and what tires people have. But Doesn't looks like anything you need to be lifted or armored for.

 

Looks to be a Sawyer Beetle. It's a borer, mostly sticks with Pines, but only goes after wood that is already dead or dying so it's not really a threat to any forests


Edit- not that they don't scream bloody murder when you pick them up, though.

 

I agree. If you're bone stock and inexperienced, make sure your first outing is with a good group of people who will actually help you through it. I really appreciated that when I did a RI run with Rob, John and a few others. It was good to see how the experienced guys tackled obstacles and have patient people to spot me through obstacles that are relatively simple but not something I was used to.
