New England B.S. Thread

Thanks for the advice! I'm more of a bourbon drinker but the wife enjoys beer, we're excited to be there.

 

Haha good point!

 

You've picked a very sought after location. It's essentially a hub. They're also completely rebuilding their downtown area and so far its rather nice

 

Londonderry is nice. I grew up in Salem. Londonderry has always been a decent place.

 

Yeah the town/area seem great, wish we could have made it in time for fall haha.

 

Find any empty parking lot during/after snow and “practice” or get used to how the truck handles or spins out. This should be a requirement to drive in New England

 

When are you guys making your way out?

 

You gonna be able to get out of the house for a beer?

 

Definitely a good idea!

 

Hopefully by Thanksgiving? Waiting on an official start date from the new job and then we have to get all our stuff moved

 

Haha yes definitely!

 

I've worked my way up to two beers now after my whole stomach debacle.

I was hoping to get out to the bars before they shut them all down again, but it looks like things are already spiking in Manchester and Nashua. I'll have to see if Henniker is open to the public

 

Pratt?

 

If everything goes according to plan I'll be at the Army base in Natick (so not actually Boston). Kind of a long commute for me but there's not a whole lot of jobs in New Hampshire. Hoping something opens up at the University in Manchester eventually ...

 

I drive 30 minutes each way to work every day snow or not, so that gives you an idea of what mine is capable of. If I'm just running to the store on the weekend and it's bad out I can always use the wife's Rav4 AWD

 

Good to know, thanks! I've lived in California my whole life so it'll be a whole new world/skillset for me lol

 

Just know you're expected to drink ice coffee all winter long in order to blend in.

does it make sense? nope, not one bit.

 

Haha yeah I'm already a huge Dunkin lover, we drive like 30 minutes to get it on the weekends sometimes because that's the closest one to where we live in Oakland. It's a taste of home for the wife. I'm looking forward to improving my commute with a nice iced coffee and the heat on lol

 

do you know if you're going north bound on 93 or south?

 

Absolutely no idea, I'm not familiar with the area so... I guess whatever Google Maps tells me to do lol
