New England B.S. Thread

Went and got the tree today from where we were living before, running low on good ones thats for sure. This Christmas season is flying by fast, you guys got yours yet?

 

Hoping to get ours up this weekend.
Gotta slide first though.
Got my gear ready for the morning.

 

Get it before the rain!


I'm hitting Bromley around lunch with my brother and a friend.

 

That is what I am thinking. May stay local, not sure.
The first outing is always the roughest. I am super outta shape.
Probably one lap and done.

Have fun tomorrow.

 

Yeah we are going to do a half day I think. I’m waiting on my pass for jiminy so I figure try another spot and my brother has a pass at Bromley.

I’ll let you know how it goes!

 

My wife’s grandfather has a tree farm so we get ours there as a family event. 7 great grandchildren there this year.

 

In Mendon right? Think we discussed it last year. If so, we cut ours from the same place.

 

yeah. Considering the “shortage” This year, he kept his price at $50 any tree. It’s more of a hobby for him as a retired home builder.

we planted 500 in the spring. He’s talking maybe doing more next year.

Side note: I picked up some of the lock and key barrel selects at Julio’s today. Buffalo Trace and Henry McKenna. If you haven’t tried the peanut butter whiskey “skrewball” you’re missing out.

 

Just want those for winter

 

I've been weary of the peanut butter whiskey, I'll have to check it out though.

 

I had the older AT3. I started with the ATR, I loved the ATR but the sidewalls started splitting so Cooper warranties them. The ATR was discontinued so I ended up getting the AT3. Traction-wise, they were excellent, I just couldn’t get them to wear evenly. I messed with tire pressure and kept them rotated but they cupped and got loud with age.

My wife’s Escape came with Michelin’s from the factory also and they sucked. I have a second set of wheels for her and has studded tires for winter. I just dropped off her summer wheels to have the Michelin’s replaced with a set of Generals earlier today. Can’t wait to get rid of them.

 

Because i have a nice 1g this is just to support my addiction

 

I was a skeptic but it drinks like a dessert cordial. Great on the rocks or neat. We should check out the Scotch pairing night next time they do it at Red Rock.

 

We tag in OCTOBER!! We've gone to a tree farm in Berlin, MA for 13 years now...Love the fresh cut tree and the best is Fraser fir in my opinion...We always look for a tall and skinny tree because that fits best in the living room.

 

Where'd you go? Copeland had a nice sale in October..I got Yokohama 80K tires for mine.

 

Kenwood. They’ve done probably 10 tire set installs for me over the years and haven’t nicked anything yet.

I did my BFGs at Boch on a buy three get one deal but they damaged a wheel on me. The end result was four perfect wheels and a spare unmounted wheel, but it wasn’t a simple in and out.

 

So it's 20F but I decided I still had to use my wood fired pizza cooker. I do my own crust with Caputo tipo 00 flour. If you make your own pizza give it a try. It came out great despite freezing my ass off! I made 3 pizzas. Ate 1

 

Good morning everyone! Happy Sunday.

Hoping the Patriots can man up on offense and get a win against the Chiefs this afternoon!

 

There's 3 versions of the AT3. The AT3 4S is like a snow rated more daily driver version. The AT3 LT is like the typical AT light truck tire, and the AT3 XLT is the off-road version of that.

 

Happy game day! You’ll find me in the nose bleeds tonight but Brady vs Mahommes is going to be awesome!
