New England B.S. Thread

Yeah I tried using that CRV to stop me the other week... Now I have to deal with all this insurance crap

The pedal feel is incredible now! I love stainless lines!

 

Drove all the way to Deerfield MA to trade tires and wheels with some kid, and it didn't end up happening. So pissed.

 

You have no idea brother. My truck has only seen two winters and swapping the lines was a pain in the ass.

They're awesome. Glad you got it done without loosing your mind. I noticed with the OCTaco lines I had to put a little extra curve in the retainers to keep them tight on the brackets. Yours are pulling right through the bracket? Could you squeeze retainers on both sides to trap the fitting?

 

What do you have and what were you looking to get?

 

worked on a corolla today a 1990 with fucking 472,xxx miles I was like holy shit and went and got my boss he was astonished and gave the 45 year old lady a free oil change. Car looked like 100k miles

 

Take that Subaru commercials...

 

No I did lose my mind. I started smacking things with tools and shit. I got frustrated and lost it for a few.

Mine are going through the bracket. Might be able to mod one of the old retainers to fit... Or just leave it and keep whimpering in the fetal position

 

Shoulda driven to Henniker, bought my tires, and had a nice burger with Sarah and I.

 

Well I've had a busy week. Just to give you guys an idea, here it is.

First Jacob and I had some time together a week ago Sunday.


Then last Thursday Rachel and my friend and I saw Rush at Mohegan Sun.




Then Saturday we had Jacob's Birthday party.

Pulling the tarp off his gift.

First drive.


Then yesterday I grabbed my utility trailer to bring it home to start my rebuild project on it. New sides, fenders, tires and lights going on it.





Then decided I need to run the snowmobile while I was at it.



So today at work I took a pick of these, about to get crushed.


Then tonight after seeing my son we decided to go to the bombing memorable in Boston.





And Justin got to meet Anderson Cooper from CNN who was broadcasting his show live.

 

Well the spacers didn't show up until late--close to 11:00--then with dog runs to the vet and groomer and rain on top of everything I managed to make very little progress today. Learned quite a bit so far as far as organizing these type jobs. Oh yeah and all this rust talk reminds me: PB BLASTER! I soak before I wrench, regardless the appearance of the fasteners. And as reassembly progresses its anti-sieze, anti-sieze, anti-sieze wherever possible! P.S.--coilovers in the driveway with handtools can be a bitch to put in position (lower shock perch!). Knock on wood, nothing broken so far. Got to make my weld shop appointment for the bits what need that type of attachin'... Night!

 

Rob I am down by that Memorial a lot and I cant make myself stop or walk thru. I get angry and chills just walking by

 

Billy, I guess I can understand that, its hard. I was just thinking of it this way. This is set up for those who lost there lives or got injured, it pays respect to the victims and shows the assholes of this world that they can not beat us. We will not be afraid of them.



Copied it from your sig.

 

Some of these pics I posted above are actually videos. Click on the first one of Jacob, the last one of the Rush concert and both of my snowmobile and they will link it to the videos. Anyone who has or really likes kids has to see the one of Jacob.

IDK they came through that way. I must have messed them up a little bit.

 

Ya it helps people heal, its just me. I can have anger issues sometimes and I want blood for what those two did. The people hurt and disfigured are better people than me, I wouldnt be as positive as they are

 

Mornin' all.

 

I always wanted one of those quads when I was a kid . He must of been so happy .

 

Me too! Parents thought I would abuse it....hmmm....seems likely considering what I've put trail rig through. Parents are smart.

 

Great now we have to deal with you till we beat your ass
