New England B.S. Thread

I'm not being audited by OSHA.

If it's still showing charged, probably fine. K or ABC? I'd let it ride, still probably very effective.

 

Once a year turn them upside-down and give them a few good hits with a rubber mallet.
The powder can cake up otherwise

 

There are companies that will recertify them if you want to go through the effort. I just keep an eye on the gage and replace them if they get low. They're just small units though. Commercially, we get them recertified / refilled when the charge shows low.

 

One of these is parked at the lot across the street at work and I can see it from my desk

Guess they had some paint left over?

 

It's still a $50k VW Golf!

 

I'd rock one of those

 

Meh, the civic type R is starting around 45, the focus RS was a bit over 40 and that was pre pandemic. The Golf R starts around 45.

These are decked out/performance cars. You can still get a cheap golf, heck same as tacomas - baseline they're like 30k ish for a 4 banger no frills. I wouldn't want to spend 50k for a hatchback, but they're still a dreamy car

 

"Low milage, one owner, minor bullet damage"

 

Yeah, wife was out of town when he bought it. She came home and shot him. Thing sat in the garage until she passed. Bones in the trunk are props from an old movie.



I'd drive it... my wife would probably shoot me too.

 

Is that what I think it is?

 

Do any of you remember the Volkswagen "Thing?"

yup

Yeah! There's one around town I've seen a couple times, I think I saw RI plates on it.

 

@AllTacosFloat

Ever watch Dirty Jobs on Discovery?
We were watching recently and I said to Mrs. SpruceMica that Mike Rowe should spend a day shooting foam with John

Also I think I heard they were bringing that show back

 

I have one in the basement and one outside the bedrooms on the ceiling, but my boiler is very old and my oil guy needs to seal it with cement every time he cleans it. So, I bought one with a digital read-out and mounted it lower near the boiler. I saw it go up to 1 PPM once for some reason - during the summer when the boiler wouldn't have run so I'm not sure why. But otherwise it's always been at 0 so it's nice reassurance that the boiler is indeed sealed well.

 

I do..

Some pics from today




This place is huge. Big ass parking ramp


Edit: I have to spray out over the rocks too

 

The show came back last year and is back this year. Discovery Channel on Sunday nights.

That is right up Mike Rowe's alley.
