The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[rideit]

Oh, the fucking humanity.

[m2711c]

guys in the upstates might not be most original in their thoughts, but they sure as shit can fucking copycat something that pays off that sweet…

all these fucking Maga idiots I know around here that are doing this kind of stupid shit already are all of a sudden gonna realize, fuck why should I keep all stupid assed these things in the garage and risk arrest fer ghost gunnin’ when i can just keep turning them in for money and printing up new ones next week.

The video is even better. The kid is laughing in the interview.

The picture is worth a thousand words


But back on thread, if he drove six hours, there’s no way he lives upstate.

[huckbucket]

New metric! I just spent three days on a bike traversing the wildes of deep, deep western NY and ran across a half-dozen of these things;



I think it means winter will last another 12 months.

[gravitylover]

There's all sorts of different Bigfoot things scattered about. Sometimes they're big and exposed like that but sometimes they're peeking around something and it's kinda creepy.

brandy new barge… ain’t never gonna look this good ever again.





bilt ta fits…








barely.








power on! them downstate boys do run a tidy boat.


fact.

[Brownski]

That’s pretty cool. Whenever I see a barge being pushed up the Hudson I wonder if I’d be a decent tugboat captain. Looks like a good life to me.

[m2711c]

oh, I’m sure you’d fit right in. we got room for all the types of fucking tugboat captain‘s around here… maybe you can hire on with these chuckleheads.












river be coming down stream a good five knots per hour. these guys went out of here full fucking throttle, revving the everlovin’ piss out of them engines.

two hours later, them an their c-ment barge be just ‘bout gettin’ to the bend a mile upriver… that’s what? 1/2 a mile per hour speed over ground? them fellas going to be on the river for a while.







fact.

[Brownski]

Now that right there is upstate as fuck- obviously. God bless ‘em. Who gets the crown though? One of them or their buddy that schleps the gas cans down to the water in the dark when they hit empty two miles short of the objective?

This was a thoroughly enjoyable TR.

You've earned yourself a UC or three when you get off the lock today.

I'll be venturing on an end-to-end I-90 upstate excursion this coming long weekend; Friday night in Albany, Saturday night in Buffalo, Sunday night in Rochester. Will report back with any relevant findings.

I'm touching down near the heart of the Upstates Friday night at 8pm local time. T minus 2 days. Planning on having chicken wings and pizza in my belly by 9:30. Along with some UC, Saranac and Other Half, unless things go terribly wrong. Which they might.

[m2711c]

no quits until our in-house chuckleheads make the downriver run…


and we are hiring, brownski.

we start you out at 22.71 an hour and you get to use one of these brand new fancy assed push boats.







now, you might be wondering why you would get to use a brand new fancy assed push boat instead of the old crusty bastard whats been sitting around here for a while. Seems that they forgot to order up some heads on these $250,000.00 brand new fancy assed fucking push boats… that’s right, you got to drop a deuce? You got a let that moon fly over the side. just hope nobody’s coming by while you’re doing your drop.


and we ain’t got none of them fancy assed shiny fucking barges neither. you won’t see our crews out there sweating their asses off running bumpers down the sides of the barge. that’s just not how we roll, we take a somewhat more laid back attitude towards possible damage to our boats…

Tip Hill is a good tip.

Wegman’s has it. Also Marcy discount beverage but that’s closer to Utica. The beating heart of the Upstates.

[fastfred]

Solid work as usual in the upstate thread

Look forward to the trip report ewg

As usual mc2 is delivering the stoke say high to my buddy who lives on the other side of the river

Been thinking about jumping in the car and driving to upstate to see the leaves change can't be beat my parents asked of I was high

Thnx. I'll be back there for a few days around Thanksgiving. Kokomas used to bring me Other Half straight from the brewery when he still lived on the East Coast.

Love the canal porn....

Little bit of upstate in downstate

[gravitylover]

Foliage is in along I390. Nice ride between Corning and Rochester today.

Looks like a lovely day in the barge-garden.

Shalom.

[gravitylover]

Ditto

WNY and the Finger lakes lived up to their grey reputation for 2 days in a row but the foliage was still fantastic. It's harvest season so fresh snacks are everywhere

[m2711c]

indeed, tasty fatty snax is an upstate fact…
