New England B.S. Thread

Mortise used to be common for residential, but most of it is commercial now.

What is the make of the current one? Any reason you are looking to replace it? If it's something like Corbin or one of the other old New England brands, it was extremely well made and you could easily replace the key cylinder with something modern. A locksmith could probably refurbish the whole thing if it is worn. A new Schlage mortise set is great quality but very expensive given it is designed for grade 1 commercial use.

 

Anyone convert one of those small utility trailers like the 3x4' into a kayak trailer? seems relatively simple with pvc runners and an extension

 

Hmmm chicken

 

She also is border collie. So theres a chance. We still have 8 chickens

 

I thought you started with 10....? Did she already get 2?

Hey, y'all surprised me being able to keep her off leash at camp, I would never say never with Willow. But my husky growing up was a mix shepherd husky collie you name it - mutt. She jumped off of a picnic table to get a bird flying by out of mid air. Treed a raccoon, neighbor said they were worried about the dog and called town AC - we just laughed "our money's on her". Only 4 or 5 skunks, and only 1 porcupine. Countless squirrels though. Tussled with a turkey that finally figured out how to fly away.

Funny thing though - we didn't have a lot of rabbits, so she moved in her later years and didn't have that scent, so rabbits would just hop along near her and she wouldn't smell them. If she saw them, they were toast, but they could hop along next to/behind her no big deal and she wouldn't pick up their scent, since she just didn't know it.

Another funny story - a client had a husky when I was building sun rooms with my father in law. One day the husky bolted, we heard some godawful noise next door, owner comes back with the husky by the collar, "guess I just bought another chicken!" - homegirl went right to where she knew there were chickens kept next door. The "Another" was a good laugh.

Like I said, she'll go for the head and neck for a clean kill, so if you get there right away you can probably get dinner out of it at least.

 

Nah we started with 8 but we are getting 2 more soon. Willow does chase turkeys and deer....

Mrs. Undertaker & I took in a local black metal/death metal gig at Jewel in Manchester, NH on Saturday night.
That was fun.

Then we got BBQ at Rusty Can in Newbury, MA for lunch yesterday.
Omnomnomnomnom.

 

6100s for the rear. Coming out soon.

 

Well, what bands? My next one is Ministry in a few weeks.

 

Alignment seems good. They didn't give me the spec sheet so no idea what the numbers are at. Debating on reinstall of the sway bar but it feels so good in the front over the bumps. Rear should improve once I swap the shocks and take out the added weight in the bed. Trying to warranty the oriellys cv axles. @DrFunker you warrantied your 6112s right? How was the process? I'm looking to do the same

 

most of the time I don't miss the sway bar at all, but there have been a few times I cursed those that convinced me I didn't need it.

 

I’m so glad I lost one of the bolts like 3 years ago. With 63s there’s a good amount of body roll but it’s fine. Tiff daily’s it so when I go back to driving it it’s a little odd.

 

Pretty sure I even have room for 33s.... just might need to pull my flaps back a bit. Might do the same like I had done to my previous flaps, using a ziptie to the body mount

 

Available for 22+ Tundras!

Woohoo!

I might need to start saving up.

 

Thought it was staying stock......
