Hey Connecticut, our backs hurt

I did not happen to see if it was listed on the label, only to confirm the part numbers were the same.

 

Good morning CT. Happy Friday!

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. I may be ordering a compressor in the next couple days.

Got some money from work (cores/scrap metal/etc.), I'm going to put that towards the compressor.

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Friday.

Oldest turns 9 today. He's not into birthday parties anymore... so instead, he wanted to go to a Yankees game again, but as a family. So all 4 of us are going to the game tonight.

 

and just like that he's amped up the #kidsareexpensie factor. gone are the $10 toys, hello #Ican'timaginehowmuchafamilytriptoNYCtoafranchisedeventcosts. only 7 more years until it's time for #newTundraI'm16.

 

Ordered the compressor. Got $200 from work so the compressor cost me $200.

 

Hey this is fun. I work at Pratt & Whitney and I get to hang around these engines all day. I'm in development tooling engineering, no where near smart enough to design the engines themselves! The engine out of the F35 is such a freaking beautiful piece of machinery.

 

In Connecticut?! I had no idea. I have seen some cool helicopter company buildings while driving through though.

 

@TOMB

Saw this in a another thread...what can you tell me about it?

 

Yeah Pratt & Whitney (HQ is in East Hartford, CT) makes jet engines and I believe Lockheed Martin makes the actual F35 plane. Then in Stratford, CT is Sikorsky helicopters and I think there is actually another mfg in CT as well.

 

Hamilton Standard (now Hamilton Sundstrand) in Windsor Locks made the propellers that went on P & W engines that helped win WW2 and built the spacesuits that took us to the moon.

 

@CTSpruceMica

Yes Yes Yes.

The Griso is one beast, it's not for everyone, even if I could buy it, I can't, Wifes medical expenses take preference.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo I get to ride an antique Moto Guzzi that's 47 years old, can't break it, suits my current needs.

and I've accepted that I will never get to own a 0mile brand new bike.

But please keep posting bike pictures so I can keep dreaming about something that will never happen (a new 0mile bike) and I

do enjoy pictures of the new offerings.

Thanks

TOMB

 

I think someone up in Maine just got that bike, think I saw it in the stock trucks thread

 

And, Groton CT is the submarine capital of the world. Electric Boat makes them, and the Sub Base sails them.

 

Great game, and great W.

The kiddo had a blast, and so did the entire fam.

 

Morning Connecticut

 

Mornin! Want to get out of the house and do something but my girls are still asleep.

 

Wake them up, what could possibly go wrong

 

What could go right!

 

Did they pummel my hometown As? At least I think that has been a recent matchup, and going favorably for NY.
