New England B.S. Thread

I had a 1975 Maverick. 6cyl, 3 on the tree and a 1 wheel peel machine. Not fast but I loved that car.

 

That's happens to me as well, saying "I think I know that vehicle/person", and as they drive by, "yup, I should have waved!".

 

It didn't help that I was going home from driving from Buffalo to Boston to RI! Getting caught in Boston early morning traffic after driving all night from Buffalo was very frustrating to say the least. Lol

 

Yes, traffic today was brutal! I went with my father to pick up a scooped hood for his 4Runner up in NH, and traffic going up 495 was at a stand still for well over an hour! I assume there was an accident somewhere, but I didn't see anything. Granted, I can only imagine driving in traffic with an 18 wheeler with the other nut jobs on the road, it must get tiring quick!

 

I was on 495 trying to avoid traffic. It took so long I had to pull over to take a break as to not go over my time. There was an accident somewhere near Lawrence I guess. Pain in the ass!

 

A guy at work has a Maverick and he absolutely loves it. I think it looks better in person than in photos.

 

Anyone need any undercoating or truck work done? Going to hopefully be buying a house this year

 

Y'all plant people who are more planty than me. What is this growing alongside my hydrangeas?

I gotta get a landscaper in too - I've let some of these trees and bushes get away from me and they're a bit more than I can handle to trim.

 

It's like a Ridgeline or dating a fat girl. It's great, but you just don't want to be seen doing it.

 

Kinda reminds me of a rhody..

 

By hydrangea I meant rhododendron of course

I'm not much of a landscaper if y'all couldn't tell.

 

Me neither. I'm just the heavy lifting/digging/carrying part of that puzzle.

I'll ask my wife, she has some kind of app to identify the stuff.

 

Started on the sliders.

 

Ford should have named the new Maverick the "Ranchero." That would be really retro. Then Chevrolet could make a pickup based on the Malibu and call it the "El Camino."

 

The name escapes me. It's an Asian vine that takes over and ruins shit. Not kudzu. Takes years to get rid of. It's all over my yard. I use poison ivy killer on it and it still comes back.

 

I used some brush killer this year that said it worked on Poison Ivy. I actually think it's Poison Ivy fertilizer as I was out in the back yard the other day and the vines that I cut back in March and May are back again.

 

GM was going to bring their Holden Ute here as the Pontiac G8 "Sports Truck" before the bailout happened and GM axed a few brands. I suppose they could have (or should have) brought it here as an El Camino since the G8 was rebranded as the Caprice after Pontiac was gone.

 

As somebody who just was told by a landscaper to pull it bc it kills everything around it because it entalges it. get rid of it ASAP

 

Oriental Bittersweet?

 

Winner, Winner!
Birds eat the red berries all Winter and shit em out. That's why they're everywhere.
Agressive as hell.
There's one on my neighbors Hemlock tree. It's over 60 feet tall and is slowly killing the tree. Can barely tell it's a Hemlock anymore with all the vine growth.
The base of the vine is about 8 inches in diameter.
Every year i have to pull that crap out by the roots in my hedges.
