New England B.S. Thread

Shelburne Falls, right? My girlfriend's uncle lives there and was telling me that a few weeks ago.

 

The girlfriend hates fish, so I rarely get to have it. But she's gone until Tuesday night so it's fish for dinner today and tomorrow! Definitely salmon one night, not sure what I'll do for the other.

 

That's a bummer. Fortunately, we all like fish, the kids included! It's a relatively common food in our house.

 

Looks like they’re over in the Worcester area now. Previously in Shelburne!

 

Same here. Especially salmon.

 

fish

Sad - I am a pretty good fisherman and am quick and gutting and filleting them, and it's cheap to feed myself in that method. Just I'm not a fish guy. Don't have the patience for deer hunting either. Boar hunting, I could get behind. Fishing is easy to catch and cook, wish I enjoyed them more if at all.

 

Well, last domino just fell. All restrictions for all New England states are done by the end of May. I'm glad we'll get a normal summer!

 

Not sure I’d call it a normal summer.

 

Who were we waiting for? When I saw RI was tomorrow I was surprised. Knowing RI, I thought we'd be into July.

now there's just a chance that I can make the trip to Canada for memorial day weekend.

edit: No shit, it was Mass I didn't know that. Cool beans. Though I will add: "effective May 29" - that's 12 days away. You can't come out with that update and then say "that'll happen in 2 weeks". You know there are going to be people just up and doing it tomorrow.

But this is what I was looking forward to:
"Gov. Charlie Baker will also end the State of Emergency on June 15."

I had said for a while I was going to have a "covid beard" and not shave or cut my hair until that happened (or at least some state lifted their state of emergency). I chickened out though - god, I hate hair.

 

Don’t think the border to the great white north will be open soon.

 

Unfortunately I think I might have to agree with that assessment

But hey - If all of New England is pretty much rippin', no sweat!

Ours is up tomorrow in RI. I don't know which stores are going to lift though alongside that.

 

Gonna take a look at that Pro-4x tonight with an open mind and blank check lol.
The more i look into it the more i could choose to overlook the cheapy plastic-ness of it. Eaton electric locker, Dana 44 rear, gear-driven transfer case, 281 ft/lbs tq in a nice, compact, package.

 

It might feel cheap, but they're durable as all, and they're cheaper too. So they feel cheap because they are, but they're damn good.

Like mentioned, if I bought with my brain I would be in a Frontier most likely.

 

I heard the Pro-4X is the one to get because the ones without the Dana 44 were known to go through diffs. A friend's SL did at around 100k. Other than that, I'm not aware of much for issues with Frontiers.

 

Just found a truck - 2020 TRD OR, same as mine re: packages, etc. with 20k on the clock, for 38k on some dealer site. Jeebus! I might actually just get enough out of mine........

I paid 36.5, my sale + tax is 1.07 = 39k shade over, so I would need to get toward 38.5 minimum for me to think "yeah that'll go and I'll be fine with that". O,O but that might be within reason....

Yeeeahhhh I think this week I'll be doing the diffs, cleaning up the last of the under mud, oil change, then taking pictures before taking it to Jason this Saturday.

 

Lightning storm coming thru...now

 

The plastic interiors of the Nissans are not known for being very durable

 

Okay I’ve read and heard good about the frontier and xterra and old titans to be fair. The newer and sedans type vehicles might not be as rugged, that’s fair.

 

Shiiit, I went 3 years without a haircut..more than once.

 

FINALLY a rental truck should be in my hands tomorrow..Nissan Frontier.
