The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[gravitylover]

Oh, forgot.

So when you're rolling along and there's been nothing to pay attention to for a while then you see this about 20 minutes after getting a nice variety of good res weed what do you do? Take a second to register that you're on Rt 420 and there's a Stewart's right behind you. Then what? U Turn! A few minutes later you end up with this

I just rode my bike from Toronto on the empire state trail. Few shit hole cities I would rather forget but honestly some of the most picturesque landscapes and riding I have seen was from Albany to Red Hook. Stopped in Germantown for a beer at the local store. Wow ! Some money up there for sure and the estates are something else. The road I took outside of Hudson was Yates road that turned into Church road and then onto the empire trail. Was a bit lost but so glad I got off the track. Truly amazing country. 7 days down and 1 more to go into NYC. Currently sitting in a shit motel in Mahopac drinking a well deserved Dogfish IPA.

Oh shit, you're 3 minutes from my house. Not much to do on a rainy morning here. Don't go to the diner next door, it sucks! The bagel shop next to the auto parts store is very good and only a few hundred feet from that diner.

That is an impressive trip, Bad Dancer. How about some pics?

M2- Thought of you when I saw these. Wouldn’t these donors look nice in your yard? Maybe half tarped and on blocks?

I was going to post that and couldn't bring myself to. Tragic.

man, enclosed spaces are no joke. they always seem to pull more folks into the death trap as other people try desperately to help those inside.

It really is tragic. I remember when Ray Varney died the same way in Maine. Such a strong skier.

I'm not going to lie, I've had to watch the confined spaces training videos for many years on the job. And I would still be torn and want to help a buddy in trouble. That would be really hard to resist. And live with if I didn't go after them. Why did an IT guy have to watch those? Because it was also a manufacturing facility. Also raised floors have confined spaces. Never go inside a tape library without the proper protocols in place.

Spent the morning in Newburgh and it made me a little sad. Zoom in on the Ramada sign

[gravitylover]

I need some odds and ends for my pos minivan that don't make sense to buy new. Where are some of the great pick 'n pull junkyards around the state? It's just about the most common vehicle in fukn history so any good yard ought to have a bunch of them.

[m2711c]

i use https://car-part.com/?device=www firts to save time on randomly calling around… we got more pic-n-pulls ‘round here than you can shake a medium sized stick at.


fact.

Some of the "best" yards I've been at are Luddites and still allergic to the internet. I will probably look there but figured some personal suggestions would be good.

[Aldo]

God I love a junkyard but he’s right / that’s the way to find the goods . I use one vendor now he’s on a national shared database similar to the car part model it’s too easy. But please don’t let me stop you from wandering a random yard of artifacts if you’ve got the time!

Tuesday night done right in E'ville The new Mexican restaurant there is surprisingly good.

[BmillsSkier]

Nice, what’s the name?

[gravitylover]

Hidalgo I think. Every time I go through that town I like it more. I've never been there when it's busy but in the shoulder seasons it's a really pleasant place.

[BmillsSkier]

Nice. It's fun when the town in busy during ski season, but I think fall is really fantastic there.

No equal to an icy Pilsner Lager served up.
