Was the seat all the way back and/or are you very tall?

 

@replica9000 is like 9ft tall (to some of us...)

 

We're looking for a dog boarding kennel in eastern Connecticut, for our 12 pound Cairn Terrier. Anyone have any recommendations ?
Thanks.

 

I'm 6'5". It was a single cab, so I couldn't put the seat back any further.

 

Hey Rob @mach1man001 glad to hear everyone is okay. Bummer on the truck, but I know you had some frame worries, so maybe blessing in disguise? Going to get a turd gen?

How's the bridge shenanigans for you? I do my best to avoid it. We're going to be exploring the east bay a LOT more this year. Going into providence - we can park along the bike path (where we did the goodnight lights actually) and ride the bikes into Providence pretty easily. I know you're a driver out of Seekonk though. Hours dependent, that bridge sucks.

Now they're talking - 2.5 months into the 3 month repair window, to expand it to 3 lanes in an 8 week project.... My bet: That bridge is cooked, it's coming down. October 2026 is my bet for reopen.

 

I now hate having to go to/thru Providence or anywhere west of me. Depending on time of day a 10min drive is now 30-45 minus and accident.

 

Same here - sitting in East Prov. I thank my lucky stars I live and work over here and have a 1.5 mile commute that can be done by bike. Golden handcuffs now until this thing's sorted.

I started this job almost 2 years ago, and when I was looking my thought was "I don't want to cross the bridge for a commute, it's under construction for another 2-3 years, and it's shenanigans to begin with, I'm not going over to Warwick/Cranston". I am so happy now that I didn't risk it and take something over there.

Edit - we take the bikes to TJs. We'll park along the bike path and then ride over. Now that it's warming up, might venture deeper into down city. I find it ironic that I may explore down city and the east bay more now with the bridge shit show.

 

Unfortunately my work includes going to sites so the bridge sh*t just makes some days so much longer. When I don't have to travel it is fine as I am in Portsmouth or EP.

 

Just announced.

"break performance"
I guess if your truck has brakes and not breaks... you're okay....

 

@TreeFortRichard started tearing into your old truck today. Doing the motor work, have a water pump and new belt on the way. Have the power steering lines (both) and a rack rebuild kit incase I wanna see what I can get into with @crashngiggles old steering rack I have

 

If you have the ability to rebuild that thing....you are a magician lol

 

@tacobell007 btw, I do have all my parts in for the emergency brake install.....hopefully we can swing something soon and I can head over there. How is the new job btw?

 

I don't start until 3/6 so if you want to come over just let me know! I'll be working on Brian's old truck tomorrow more trying to get that ready to go. Have rotors coming in by end of week for the Tundra

 

Them's the brakes, I guess.

 

I'm looking to sell an EO Tech rifle sight with magnifier.
I don't want to ship it and rather would like to sell it to someone local.

Anybody in the market?
