New England B.S. Thread

No catch of the day,

Had a few hits at least I guess

 

Old school trick on bicycle headsets and bottom brackets as well, though usually more headsets. The tube will slide right on without having to cut across or secure.

That makes too much sense. Mine busted around 5 yrs old

 

I know not all of you guys gamble but for those of you in the Worcester area that do, check your powerball tickets. 2 big unclaimed tickets are expiring in a couple of days.

 

Buddy of mine had his front plate stolen, the police report/letter he got for confirmation did not have a date printed on it. He has kept that in the truck for years and uses it to get it past inspections and any questions

 

That’s even better. Free and no expiration.

I’m still waiting to hear if someone finds it in one of the water crossings at the RI spot.

 

How long do people have before they expire?

 

My mom is down in Florida right in the area where the hurricane is

 

One year after the drawing date.
100k ticket in Worcester expires 10/2/24 and the other 50k I believe in Chelmsford expires a few days after.

 

Does she live down there or on vacation?

 

Did she evacuate, or is she staying put? My uncle is further down the coast near Naples FL, he is not getting hit directly, so I am assuming he is staying down there (which hopefully he finished up with replacing the storm shutters!).

 

On vacation

She was in N Redington Beach and yes she got evacuated out of there. But she went to her friends house in Holiday which is not very far away.

 

Catch of the day.

caught two more that were bigger but this was the best pic

 

A little music video from a band I’ve been following for while.

Got the skin on much nicer, support ribs in properly and the foot brackets for the pole frame off the temporary screws and in their permanent places. I'm OK leaving it here for now to try my best to get the outhouse thrown up and usable, if not glamorous. I have a bunch of detail pics of the tent I'll edit and throw up later.

Rain came in and packed the dense pack in nicely, and the shallow cut I made between the fire ring and tent flowed enough to show me the proper line for a French drain there in the spring.

 

Ok who's in the third gen Tacoma that's all decked out with fiberglass fenders, bumpers, and all the other overland gear? Driving through Bellingham right now.

 

If the fenders aren't painted it probably the dude from noreast yotas lol

 

Yup, more than likely it is Wilfredo from Noreast Yotas.

 

Less than 2000 built in Japan on the ES300 line, one year only (96) Complete, all original, dealership maintained, little over 100k miles. Picking it up next week, GF and I splitting it as a summer cruiser. Drives like greased glass. Felt like I was yakuza on the test drive.

 

The XV10 was effectively a baby Lexus from the get-go with Lexus levels of engineering / refinement. I lost track how many of my friends had these in HS. They were all indestructible.

 

Lexus was luxury export to the US. That's where the name came from. Scion never existed outside the US it was always Toyota.

As we know it Lexus was definitely more refined but the same engineering. I wanted a CT200h when I got my Mazda. Still do to be fair.
