New England B.S. Thread

Not sure but I think I'd have to disassemble the whole housing to do so, at best it's a project and I would rather not mess with a brand new set of lights and risk breaking something.

 

VV just drill out the holes. What happened to the PIAAs? I have 4 Rigid Hyperspots ready to go on my light bar

Movie night in the backyard with the new screen

 

Still have em. Figured I'd sell them, had the KCs a few years now just in the box. Bought a behind the grill bar.

 

Mount Washington photos from late September a few years ago. The album is public, so you should not need to have a Facebook account to see them.

 

You do need facebook but luckily my wife has an account. Those pictures are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

 

Before I take the leap and raptor line my truck, I decided to practice and spray my snugtop topper. I going to spray it black on Monday night. All the prep work is done, tarped and ready to go.

 

Will this raptor line help keep your LCA attached?



Too soon?

 

Its raptor tough, so....ya

My LCA and LBJ was the real MVP that night. My upper, not-so-much

 

So happy to be back in New England. I haven't had Linguica since I left AK and it certainly wasn't the good Gaspar's stuff. Market Basket near me carries it. YUM!



I like Portuguese sausage.

 

I just got one of these: https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XWT15Z

It's awesome! It seems to have significantly more torque than my old corded Milwaukee impact that's probably close to triple the size and weight.

Makita makes one that has over 1000 lb ft but for what I do this is more practical. This is strong enough to handle lug nuts and is small enough to be useful for a brake job.

 

I picked up an 18V 1/2" Ridgid impact a couple years ago for cheap. Home Depot runs sales on them from time to time. The thing is awesome for everything I use it for. I'm slowly going cordless for everything garage related.

My tire rotation drill is now impact wrench off, impact driver on, then torque to spec. Faster than a NASCAR pit crew---well, maybe not, but it's pretty fast and easy.

 

I have quite a bit of Makita stuff now. I have Milwaukee at work and they both have pros and cons but once you start with one you're pretty stuck if you want the same batteries for everything.

 

You need to find a real supply of chouriço/linguiça. I have family that make it and there are some really good ones in Fall River

 

Brenda and I took a drive up to the start of the Half-Baked Vermont Adventure this afternoon and did a little leaf peeping.

 

Gaspar's is about as good as you'll get outside of New Bedford, Fairhaven, Fall River, etc areas. Now the next time I go south, I may look up some stuff.

 

Excellent places in Lowell as well

 

I hate battery tools. Go to use and oops battery is dead. Oh but the backup. Dead.

depends what you’re doing. Cordless impact probably fine if you’re a diy shade tree. I borrowed a plug in electric chainsaw and my god what a change in philosophy now. That thing was bitchin.

oh also batteries die over time and then 7 years later, dewalt is using a different battery and you can only find unbranded shitty ones from China on eBay that hold enough charge to get half way through a job and then die on you.

I know. Never say never. But if I can help it, gasoline or plug in is my go to. Much cheaper too.

 

I'd rather use my corded impact for an anchor at the bottom of the ocean than to use it as an impact. They are absolutely guttless compared to my Milwaukee impact! I have the 18v 1/2" drive and the 3/8" 12v stubby impact. I love them!

 

I got a cheap B&D cordless trimmer about 5 years ago. Have charged it twice in 5 years and it sat from September 2017 to August 2020. I've used it twice since moving here and it still hasn't been charged since 2017. I was kind of impressed. Of course, if I was going to rebuild my outdoor tool collection, I would be going with EGO. I picked up one of their leafblowers and it is awesome. I have one of their chainsaws on my wishlist.
