New England B.S. Thread

Oh right, hadn't considered that aspect... although I'm down by the southern border?

 

I havent been here yet but I wanted to check it out when I check out the Somerset Reservoir area.

 

keep in mind, A LOT of class IV roads have been voted closed by townships while repairs are being done. Peoples homes and properties are inaccessible so they are trying to restore access first as priority.

 

Yeah im just looking for something to do after my work day, not actually trying to get into the weeds or travel too far

 

I'm reading that as "looking for brewery / distillery recommendations"

 

I don't want to verge into politics because I don't like those 30 day vacations. I'll just say that the Saudis aren't doing it just to keep prices high. They are doing it because they don't like some of the things that the current US administration said about the Crown Prince. Since the Crown Prince is the real power and runs day to day operations in the Kingdom, he is showing his displeasure.

Add to that the fact the Strategic National Oil Reserve was drained to lower US oil prices, and we are now where we are.

 

To the above, add the fact that Russia desperately needs money to fund their adventure in the Ukraine. As a result they are working with the Saudis to raise prices.

 

For once I timed something right.

I bought this for

$54 MaxxHaul 50025 Hitch Mount 2 Bike Rack For Cars, Trucks, SUV's, Minivans - 100 lb. Capacity

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G5VLMN1?th=1 for $42.00 plus tax back in early June. Notice today's price. Yay me.

It's actually a pretty good rack for the price. I use it on the back of my Tacoma. When we were in SC, I also used it as an improvised service stand as I cleaned, adjusted, and lubricated my 2004 vintage Specialized Sequoia. That lives at my son's house in SC, so does more hanging on the wall than anything else. It's still quite serviceable 19 years later.

 

You must be running under nameplate for the fridge. With luck you'll find that the mfr numbers are on the high side of real world use, normally it's the opposite.

 

Black Hog TW meetup with the CT crew this fall hopefully?

 

Saw something the other day that when it is especially hot (such as it has been especially in the southern states) it can shut down refineries, that probably factors in

 

Yep, and the next 2 issues will relate to hurricane season and "reformulating" for Winter Gas.

 

Don't forget, water runs down the hills! Lol

 

Lol look up the ledges.


Edit: if you don’t find anything, castle Brook road is pretty. Rocky but not crawling tbh. Good for me and my BIL. Probably boring for you though

 

picked up a $6.52 just in case part for when I replace my caliper this weekend

 

It's vehicle mucking season and I'm not really finding a new money pit I'm excited about, so I think I'm just gonna go with some changes to the pig.

I have parts for an aux relay panel and a proper job of the in-cab controls, and I think an 18" DD light bar and a couple flush DD SC2 pods on the bumper sides as ditch/scenes are gonna do me for this season.

 

Shims?

 

Looks like the rigid portion of the brake line that connects to the caliper.

 

Yea looks like front caliper hard line

 

Recently learned the hard way they don't include shims with the pad set..ugh
