Honestly the only thing Hartford is good for is getting hepatitis. I went there as a kid in probably middle school. Can't say remember much about it.

 

Clearly you remember the hepatitis you got, though.

 

If your into it you could go to the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. I haven't been in a long time but I know it has been redone a few years back. Just an idea. BTW the Yankee Candle was much cooler when they had the car museum.

 

Girl went shopping, came home with another red bucket

 

Yea that sounds good. Foxboro is not too far from me.

 

1) Save the receipt.
2) Take it back
3) Buy real coffee

 

Are you going this year ? What day ?

 

I'll probably go on Sunday. Want to go?

 

Pssh, that's woman's work

 

Not if she can't get the right coffee, it's not. That's the same as beer; if she keeps coming home with Coors Light you start buying your own.

 

I buy my own beer anyways. If she goes to the liquor store, she comes back with about 6 bottles of wine. I don't mind wine once in a while, but it's not really my thing.

For groceries, we actually started doing that Peapod thing, Stop and Shop grocery delivery. It's awesome because you can save a list, modify it from work and also make your lists while you're standing in front of your cupboard so you don't forget anything or buy too much.

 

you know its all a game. Pretty soon you will be buying all your stuff and hers as well, well because you are aleady at the store so why not just get what's on the list.....


woman logic.

 

Yeah but Market Basket is WAY cheaper and I like to save $$$

 

This might be a stupid question, but if i was to buy some new uca's (camburg or light racing) wouldnt it make sense to buy lca's as well since ill be extending the distance of the top of the spindle away from the struts? There for making the top of the spindle stick out past the bottom of the lower ball joint.

 

Ooor, because iv already increased the angle of the spindle with the lift, im putting it back where its suppose to be with larger uca's. Idk why that just clicked. Haha

 

Yeah, but twice as far away. Kendra finds a lot of coupons so she keeps our grocery bills relatively low.

No, you don't need new LCA's to pair with stock travel uppers. Now if you buy long travel upper control arms, then you need to replace the lowers as well as the half shafts. The new uppers will adjust the top of the spindle further back, giving you a better caster angle while still keeping camber and toe in check at your new, lifted height.

 

Thanks. That makes sense. Idk why i didnt think of it like that before.

 

Shrug. I do most of our grocery shopping anyway, simply because she refuses to buy anything in bulk, and I buy almost exclusively in bulk (rapid perishables excluded; I don't go and buy three cases of bananas at a time), mostly shopping unit price rather than sticker price. Typically a higher upfront cost, but significant long-term savings.

 

Next question. Whats better? The uniball joint that can come with the camburg uca or the stock bj? Obviously id get new ones if i go the stock rout. And i cant see how a set of uniball joints from camburg could make the difference from $379 to $669.

 

For what you'll be doing, either will work. If you go uniball, get stainless steel otherwise they'll pit, rust and wear out quickly. The ball joint is a little better protected. The uniball is supposed to articulate better but, even though you are lifted, you're still operating within the stock travel range so that shouldn't be a factor. Check out Fat Bob's Garage or I think the name is Headstrong Off Road, they have good pricing on Light Racing UCAs. You used to be able to get them down in the $350/pr range at one point.
