New England B.S. Thread

If you weren't so far away, I'd come help you light your yard on fire I've gotten pretty good at dealing with bees and hornets and not getting stung. I had a few nests of my own to deal with earlier this year.

 

Sophia is such a little peanut

 

LOL

 

Not going to work

I was stung by the same hornet 3 or 4 times once...

Make sure you get it on video if you handle it yourself!
You should be able to just keep an eye on the woodpile. They'll use the most direct approach to the nest, so the hole/gap you see a bunch of bees zipping in & out of through the day is the one you'll want to hose down tonight. Get some of that foaming Raid and it'll keep them from coming back out at you, too.

 

Looking for reputable transmission or Toyota specialty shops in the Boston area. I have the transmission shudder on my 06 and need to get it fixed!

 

It's going to take me a couple of days to recover (physically as I've been permanently scarred mentally ) from all of this. The ankle is still swollen and sore making me hobble around here like peg leg. I'd never be able to out run them in this condition - of course I'm getting older and running might not be too good a thing to do these days...

If you guys see a news report that some dumbass starts a wild fire in a residential neighborhood in CT, you'll know it was me...

 

Are you sure it's from the transmission???

 

Based on all the reading I've done I believe so. Getting the upshift clunk into 5th, shuddering while in drive at low speeds.. When in 4th I get smooth shifting and driving all the time

 

Auto?

 

Yes

 

Abington Automatic in Abington MA is the only place I'll let do trans work. Been using them for 20 yrs now.

 

These are going cheap for a short time!!

The no name LED market definitely seems to be exploding. You can get them dirt cheap now, and some aren't that bad output wise either.

 

Those night bruiser lights are made in use and make great rock lights, with a flush mount you can virtually mount them anywhere

 

I just shelled out some cash for my next set of lights. I went with rigid because I wanted their hyperspot optic. For short range or flood, I would go cheap but for long range, the optics make a difference. I would have loved to go with Baja Designs, but their stuff be pricy, even by Rigid Industries standards!

 

Mike, what was wrong with your light? What happened with that company?

 

Nothing, I'm actually trying to sell it. I have a pair of 6 LED pods and a 30" light bar from Avec. Everything works just fine, no leaks, no defects, nothing. It just doesn't put the light where I want it. I want a more focused beam, much further down the road. I don't like the flood lights at the outside of the combo bar, I only want the distance beam so I'm replacing the 30" bar with a pair of hyperspots. The 6 LED pods are driving pattern so they'll do well when paired with the hyperspots.

 

This is how I mounted the flush mounted LEDs. I don't have them wired into the backup lite circuit.
