The rust belt moniker is as much cultural as it is physical location, pretty much like Upstate. While the primary thought is it's places that use salt on the roads so the cars rust it's also the...

It sux when you get new Lemforder strut bearings that feel great before you install them but then you put them in and find out it feels like crap and sounds even worse. Take one side apart again and...

Utica is more rust belt like than a lot of the northeast. That's definitely changing though and is noticeable over the last 5 years.

Can you have fondue while in a hot tub surrounded by shag carpet? I remember ads for some swingin' resorts in the Catskills back in the 70s that proved you can but it was better at the Mt Airy Lodge...

They're definitely the real deal. I should've taken more pics for you guys, it was a full on event with warehouse tours and BBQ pigs. There were some cool cars hanging out too but I'm not into the...

Yeah I thought you'd dig that ;) I go a few times a year when I don't feel like waiting for UPS. They have a kickass pickup system, you go in and find your name on the desktop computer and it tells...

I picked up parts from this Volvo and general Euro parts place today 417378 They had a customer day thing going on with food trucks and such. Free pizza for lunch thank you.

Heh


Better blood flow while partaking of a local 8.9% Porter

The triangle formed by Ithaca>Corning>Watkins Glen is an oasis of sorts. And yes, Saratoga also fills a similar niche.

Oh, right. I came to post my view right now 417376

And so what do you do? You quote the fuckin picture :nonono2:

That's not the worst idea I've heard today

I've been watching this for a while now and yeah, I can imagine what you're feeling because Newtown happened just a few minutes from my house. I'm not an emotional person and I've had that same lump...

Owego is just off 17.

I was 7(?) and I had to have this so I got the 45 https://youtu.be/wtJ1Gnh9wPU

I think the first albums I bought were 3 Dog Night and Jethro Tull not long after.

^ Debatable ;)

Meltdown...

NYBOD
417133 417134 the Porter from this brewery is really good.

I can't go new right now so that's off the table and yeah, I'm definitely of the mind that keeping an older car going is the right thing (until all of a sudden it isn't). That's why my cars never...

I'm special :chug:

Get them out of that flat! Let em breathe man ;) They're probably root bound now so you'll need to massage the roots loose and put them in a little deeper than you think you should.

Even with it being nearly completely legal here in NY it's still illegal to transport across state borders because it's illegal on the federal level so the cops sit and wait near the Massachusetts...

Dude the Akwesasne Res shops are about an hour from you. On Rt 37 about 10 minutes east of Massena there are dozens. This place always has a bunch of stuff at $5-10 a gram 417060

I had EPD and a few other midstreams and had to sell because my world changed and I needed the $$. I think it's time to get back into it a few shares at a time as I can afford it. Thanks for the kick...

I've been to the 2 zones here in NY with open weed stores. These places are so different from anywhere else. Wide open with buckets and jars of weed on the counters, plants growing inside, smoking...

Thanx guys. The only thing that's not from seed is the celery, I start everything I can in the ground and had about 10 plants started inside because 9f the extended cool, dry spring I had. Thaleia -...

Totally serious. The network is huge and very high quality. People travel hours to ride there from places better known for riding.

A life of living dangerously:hunter:

Nobody wants it.

On track for another good year. I've got little tomato forests from all the seeds that hit the ground last year, you can see a bunch in the corner of this bed416983
I've got an herb bed with sage...

And exceptional mountain bike trails.

The other thing Port Jervis has going for it is incredible mountain biking. For details stop into the new bike shop downtown.

Haha. Apparently some folks want it to be WNY so I think that's what we're going with.

The distillery is really good. It's not right in PJ but it's just a few minutes away. https://blackdirtdistillery.com/ and this one has local beer too https://www.orangecountydistillery.com/

Thanks El Chup.

920 effortless (trouble free) miles in 2 days. Red Rover roamin' round Upstate NY at 18mpg :) I wore out another set of front brake pads and the tires are only good on dry pavement...

1k horses in a 2200 pound car? I wanna play...

I saw that recently too. I lol'd.

920 miles in 2 days. 9 breweries, 2 distilleries, 1 weed store and a whole bunch of new (to me) places. 416900 I saw the coolest bike shop car in the state 416901...

Too many times you need to give it a bit extra to deal with tight spots on the interstates and being speed limited would be a problem if that limit is anywhere under 90. 10 years from now when we're...

I think I have the Rover problem solved, we'll see. On to the Volvo... How do I definitely determine if the clicking in the front is the CV joint or something else? How do I determine which side it's...

You must've missed the memo, used is worth more than new. Sir Bobby knows how to make a quick buck in the car biz ;)

Ya know, most of the time you frustrate me but you just said a bunch of good shit and said it well. "actively divided" Onward ...

Actually it's looking like it might be the auxiliary coolant pump. Because it's a water cooled supercharger and alternator it has an electric backup. Apparently for a few vin series they wired them...

Agreed.

Nope it's not the head gasket, I did the test this morning and it passed. On to the gremlin chasing part now.

I think it's all happening simultaneously because the soil hit the right temperature and the moisture was timed just right.

I'm going to pick up a bunch of onion starts and ring the bed the...

And all of a sudden it's looking like a garden again :) Beans and peas are popping, strawberries are starting to put out new runners, the berry patch is going crazy and the garlic is over a foot tall...

Haha

The Brewery Of Broken Dreams in Hammondsport. Unrealized potential?

^ Yeah I'll grab a block tester from Advance Auto tomorrow and check the HG.

Damn. It did it twice this morning. The second time I opened the bleed screw and it burped big time so I released all the pressure by opening the reservoir cap and it exhaled deeply and the coolant...

Is WNY up from SNY? Yeah, I thought so. Latitude duh... It's upstate :) @bmills no, I called my wife to make sure it wasn't a fake.

LOL!

I'll have to go see if the local AZ or Advance has that tool to rent.
