I would way rather road ride the many, many little roads in most of upstate NY than the very, very few big roads we have out here.
But Gravel is better out here with all of the FS roads.Last edited by rideit; 08-05-2020 at 04:36 PM.

^I see you've never ridden in VT when the locals are running late for their third job.

Crank isn't huge in VT. Heroin is a different story.

Crank junkies vs meth heads, it’s a story as old as time itself.
I still call it The Jake.

Nothing we do here is necessary. I'm in a shitty mood even by my standards today. I would still rather deal with those folks than the 25 or 30 anti-masking fuckfaces who I'll have to interact with today, all while they refuse to social distance, talk loudly, and cough on me/the documents I need to handle.

It would go a long way if anyone I worked with/folks in management acknowledged the reality that field work is a lot more stressful/complicated/risky than it was prior to COVID. I have many coworkers who have not come into the office once since March 15, and who likely won't have to come in before the end of this year, but I get to have a couple dozen people invade my personal space every day, 5 days a week.
A simple thank you, or even just some acknowledgement of the added stress would go a long way. Instead, I have people telling me how good it is to have things be "back to normal" w/r/t construction while they've been sitting home for five months. I fucking hate people.

I've had more problems with cars in colorado than I have in upstate ny however you want to look at it people in colorado are assholes without a doubt I found people in upstate to be genuinely nice (and upfront when they are not going to be nice) not the bullshit pretend nice fake as can be out here
plus you can find empty well paved backroads without any cars pretty easily in ny, over all the road biking is really good in ny, but I'd never move there, I'd rather slit my wrists, visiting for a week is great though

If we're talking about activities that Upstate really shines in, and are not concentrated in the ADKs (ex. backpacking), I'd nominate paddle sports and fishing.

And honestly fred, anybody north of Putnam County isn't doing imported Italian tile backsplashes.
I haven't had to have anything inspected for a while, but I always offered the inspector an ice cold Diet Coke when he stopped by between 10-2 on every other Tues. In a post Covid world I don't know if this would still fly."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

mostly been doing these hand made, glazed, and fired tiles out of south america super nice and spendy like real nice
just happened to have two extra boxes "fall off the truck" for my house
yeah linolium floors and two piece fiberglass showers are pretty white trash, but make up most of upstate ny bathrooms, most people in upstate have no taste or idea of what high end really is that's ok
got a nice little 50k project of throwing a 12 ft long bi fold glass door in someones house, these are my kind of people, she just didn't think the great room had enough glass for the view

The Mexicans are giving the Italians a run for their money in the tile biz. As an aside, the Mexican laborers love to use caulk on everything. Those fuckers go through DAP like I've never seen. Whatever happened to precise cuts in the trade? I can kinda sympathize as most of the wood trim is shit today, being warped and such, but there's no excuse for tile and marble.
Tempered glass is heavy so make sure she keeps those sliders lubricated. You don't see a lot of those doors in Tyvek siding country."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang
