New England B.S. Thread

Reminds me I need to do the pop n lock or whatever I end up going with. Should do that before you spray KY gel in a few weeks.

I’m conflicted. In New England I don’t think a pool is worth the hassle, unless I was working from home or retired. And in either case - I’m moving somewhere warmer so I can enjoy the outdoors year round better.

but down south I’d love a pool.

I don’t need any more real estate to work with in terms of bedrooms - but garage and shed and basement space I could do with more. A lot more. But we don’t have kids. If we did/do that all changes.

 

This?

I'm not a green truck guy I guess. It's better than the pewter color all the GMs were for a period there in the early 00s.

 

Ideally at least a bigger garage, my door is low so can't really get either rig inside. The shitbox Malibu I'm stuck with for the moment I think would fit..grrrr

Pool at least takes up some space so less lawn..haha. It depends on your needs/wants. Even before working from home, I use mine every day. Opens mid April to early May depending on weather etc and I run it until mid September. Being home, I hit it every day at lunchtime.

 

Same here, not a fan of green although I don't mind the new Tacoma dark green. I wouldn't buy it for myself but it does look sharp. That GM green's not terrible. I still wouldn't want it but, I think we've well established that @mach1man001 and I don't agree on vehicle colors
This past weekend, I was @mikethecarpenter, @mikethetiler and @miketheautorepairshop with a touch of @mikethelandscaper

 

here’s hoping my landscaping needs go way down. But yeah that’s fair too. I just think for how much work they are and for how much use you get out of them in New England, they aren’t worth it up here. To each their own. If and when we move to Austin/the south in general - a pool for sure.

I actually don’t really like the army green in the Tacoma but I do like it in the Corolla - I’m weird I know.

 

IDK what the color is called and it definitely was not the color that Mike posted (funny your both Mike). It's like the army green on the Tacoma but mixed with some grey in it.

That's well established. Lol

 

With a chosen name of Garlic Farts, whudda thunk it?

 

I like Ford's "guard" green color, except it's one of the colors that they won't let you delete chrome with. A guy on the F-150 forum has a regular cab 5.0 in that color in that he put a supercharger in along with a bunch of Lariat stuff (can't get a Lariat regular cab from the factory) so he basically has a stupid fast luxury regular cab:

Morning, TWNEBS thread residents.

 

I seem to be saying this a lot these days... buy once, cry once.

 

I could never own that because all my friends would freak out thinking Fish and Game was rolling up on them. That and the transmission is probably already broke.

 

Morning fellow degenerates. The rain yesterday was disappointing, I wanted more to help fill the lake up. Water needs to come up maybe another 8" to reach. Its so close, maybe only 25 yards or so away...

 

Besides the transmission issue, that seems like the perfect reason to buy that color....

 

I always had an idea.. but now I know exactly what kind of friend you are!

 

I'm sort of disappointed in you. What good are friends if you can't fuck with them?

 

We didn't get anything yesterday, really. Misted for a little while in the afternoon and that was about it.

 

Same. Which made me sad both due to the lake not really gaining much volume and i planned my day to be all inside chores based on the weather predictions.

 

Yeah, that's probably where I'm going to end up... I do think the LineX is way overkill for how I use the truck now but, who knows, maybe someday I'll treat it like it should be treated.

 

Just buy a dump truck. Then you don't have to worry about the truck bed. Problem solved....

 

Exactly. I busted my ass on Saturday getting all of my outdoor chores done, planning for a rainy day yesterday. And same/same on the lake; we're still down about 3 feet from normal.
