The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

I grew up in Wakefield. WHF? Don't think it had anything to do with the town, that's just where they got pulled over. I think.

Wakefield, home of the oldest and largest manufacturers of flying model airplane toys, and natural nightime trap for Rhode Island separatist survivalists.

They should make T-shirts.

Guillows! Half my high school class worked there after school.

I kind of like the tee shirt idea.

Elasa looks promising...so early in the season too.

day_trippr · Jul 7, 2021

Elsa. And, in what respect?

She's definitely not hanging around for long, could blow by here on Friday. Indeed I'm hoping it's up in New Brunswick by Saturday morning, as our spawn and their spawn will be doing our annual week on The Cape Of Cod come Saturday and it'd be nice not to unload all the vehicles in a downpour

Cheers!

Looks like a good chance we'll get dumped on here...always fond of a bit of weather myself. {'

Massachusetts police standoff with heavily armed men ends in 11 arrests

That headline is from CNN. And the story comes from Massachusetts. Both are anti-gun ownership. If they had made it to Maine before breaking down, this story would't exist.

Calm down. It was a collection of knuckleheads that fortunately didn't end up in the wild...

If they had also left the guns in the car while hanging around, it wouldn't exist either.
But it sounds like they did this intentionally, to cause an uproar and make a statement.

Dland · Jul 7, 2021

World is full of desperate, unhinged and whacked out people, always has been, always will be, (at least as long as we're around). Just gets reported on more, and is perhaps a little more frequent these days..

From the list of recovered guns, not even that "heavily armed", seems to me, relatively speaking.

And yeah, re fueling by side of road in gear, at least a tactical error.

So. Guess I'm *NOT* mowing the yard today....

homebeerbrewer · Jul 9, 2021

Borrow PTN's SCUBA gear to mow...

balrog · Jul 9, 2021

I'd need the boat too.

Do they even make a nice double row rotary mower attachment for boat transoms?

Dland · Jul 9, 2021

Aqua mow, I'd advise against it for a few reasons.

We were supposed to mow about twenty lawns today, next week going to be a busy one.

Ditto here - I knew I should have done it yesterday instead of going to get a bandsaw I found on craigslist. Nah. happy cutting toys are way more fun than mowing the lawn.
But I'm also trying out a pressure washer I picked up last weekend. I can't tell the difference.

Hoppy2bmerry · Jul 9, 2021

Well, I hope this event, helps to improve the fishing! Had a f ton of rain here some flooding in the streets and now

hoping tonight’s high tide stays in the bay. This pic was from a couple days ago. It doesn’t really depict the beauty of the sunset and the red fireball.

I'm no expert, but let me try to help you with the difference.

A pressure washer sprays water under high pressure, while a bandsaw cuts things, given the obvious caveat that the motor runs and a blade is installed. Properly. While you definitely *CAN* cut wood with a pressure washer, it is contraindicated and suboptimal. And very, very wet.

day_trippr · Jul 9, 2021

Rain's nearly ovah here! Down to a soft drizzle :ban:

balrog · Jul 9, 2021

Rain stopped here. Sun came out, then wind picked up, temp dropped to upper 50s and it's clouded over again.

Mother Nature is punishing me for something, by making darn sure the walnut trees are happy and going bonkers with nuts this year.

I walked into that one.....

paulthenurse · Jul 10, 2021

Sup *******?

balrog · Jul 10, 2021

The usual. Just sitting here, contemplating my navel lint, practicing my dog impersonations.

Hoppy2bmerry · Jul 10, 2021

Saw 3 clients, went to the Polish hall with hubby and drank a club soda while he had a couple beers… prepared a simple dinner, and now I’m waiting for the old man to fall asleep watching TV so I can put shark week on. It‘s so exciting to be me.

Back to the boat conversation———

paulthenurse · Jul 13, 2021

Rumor has it that Arlo Guthrie is rewriting “Alice’s Restaurant” in order to reflect the latest ‘Crime of the Century’ that occurred recently in The Greater Norton Metropolitan Area.

‘The use of Excessive Force is Authorized!’

paulthenurse · Jul 13, 2021

Seriously, how big a ********* are you to steal from small businesses? Hope they figure out who that guy is and he ends up cellmates with a deviant with an appetite

day_trippr · Jul 13, 2021

Wth are you babbling about?

paulthenurse · Jul 14, 2021

Some ******* stole a bunch of stuff from behind the Bog. They have him on camera. Throw away the key.

TheDudeLebowski · Jul 14, 2021

It was the Moors.

Heads up for you hop heads.

I went out to visit the new Treehouse location out in the sticks yesterday. There's a good collection of about 5 breweries out in the Mohawk Trail area. All within 30 minutes of each other.

Additionally, I finally visited Four Star hop farm that recently opened up a brewery 4 miles from a really nice golf course.

I started up a conversation with one of the family members and they're going to have a "wet hop" festival probably in August. I think it's going to be more a farm family fun music thing and including local farms. But anyways fresh local hops in a month. Beautiful location and bar

Oh and if you're looking for really really good bbq check out North Village Smokehouse. Real southern bbq in one of the local hollows. I don't know what smoked iced tea is but when mixed with Bulleitt?
