New England B.S. Thread

Was there last Friday night. Played Waubeeka on Saturday .

 

Unfortunately looks like they don't do by the slice. So a whole pie it is I'd probably just get the cheese pie to try it. That's my go to for a new place. Try their simple pizza first.

Well now I got a plan

 

i live down the road, 5 minutes from there

 

I LOVE it out there. Went to NASC back in the day. Snowmaker at Jiminy Peak during winter break

 

Anyone in here turd gen access cab want the AVS visors? I need just the back - wondering if anyone wants just the front (or I guess anyone with a double cab too but just assumed since the access cab doesn't have the rears).

 

So you had to hang out for 12 hours?

 

No. The tire was only 3.75 hrs but I was still 20 miles west of Syracuse NY at the time and I had to stop in Worcester to swap one of the trailers out. The trip took me a total of 13 hrs but the 1st hour of that was just waiting for it to be ready.

 

I ended up taking the mountain bike to Landry’s since I have a gift certificate there and they’re close to where I work so pickup is easy. They’re completely rebuilding the rear wheel, they didn’t like how the spoke nipple sheared off. They’re also retensioning the front wheel. During their quick check, the front spoke tension was not consistent at all. Not cheap! Reached out to Polygon to see if they’ll help at all. Landry’s seems to think the wheel was built correctly to begin with based on how the wheel failed. We’ll see… but I at least get the bike back on Friday!

 

sister had a boyfriend who ran track in highschool, fell on it tripping over a hurdle. Sheared his nipple right off.

All things considered, I'd rather my bikes nipples shear off!

 

I had a feeling the front was going to be off too. Most bike companies use machines to make the wheels with varying results.
I guarantee that it would have been cheaper for the wheels at Milford bike. They redid one of my wheels a few years ago and it was not expensive at all. I think it was around $25

 

Started my new job today. Should be cool, completely different industry than the previous ~15 years. In the past I've railed against lack of infrastructure for EV's, now I get to do a little to change that. I'm now the PM in the Northeast for Rivian charging facilities. Do I get a free truck...we'll see. I'd imagine they we need to fulfill all those pre-orders first....

When I get my hands on one I'll be sure to let everyone know how they are. They look pretty dope though.

 

I keep trying to get someone to do charging at our facility since we are on the highway to albany and no charging anywhere close. I have an open lot Id turn into a charging center even!

anyways, awesome new job and good luck!

 

Haha I'll keep it in mind. Sites right off major interstates are going to be the focus initially.

 

i know we are rinky-dinks and doesn’t make sense. I just want chargers without having to pony up ha.

exciting job and at least doing something you feel is productive everyday. that goes a long way imo.

 

Holy shit balls awesome. Congrats Seth. Knew you said you were switching didn't know that was the new gig.

 

Thanks. I've actually been interviewing since June. It was quite a process, especially once they submitted their intent to go public to the SEC. I think they really wanted to make sure the right people were joining for the right reasons.

It should be really cool. I did project management before, but as an engineer while also acting as a department head. This is a totally different industry, no engineering , and 100% project management with very little oversight. I'm excited.

 

$25 for a complete rebuild of the wheel, not just truing it up? At Landry`s, it cost $25 just to do the tubeless set up again for the rear after they replace all the nipples. I`ll get over to Milford soon enough, maybe for the winter tune up.

 

Happy Birthday @Pugga

 

Mostly just truing it up but a couple of spokes needed to be replaced.
My friend had them put a bare frame together for him. He bought a fork and wheels and everything put together and I know it was under $400. That was a smoking deal!

 

Happy Birthday @Pugga
