It's been a few crazy weeks, three days after I bought my truck, the focus transmission died, an entirely known and expected fault in the car. Ford added a new transmission to the 2012 and on Focus, a 6 speed, dual clutch, manual transmission that is shifted and clutched by a computer, instead of a regular automatic transmission. Many people have had transmissions replaced, ours had a leaking clutch actuator that caused a clutch to burn out. $2,400 later it was repaired, the extended service bulletin would have fixed it for free up to 150,000 miles, we had 188,000.. During this time my wife and I attended a church business conference, instead of being able to eat with everyone in a dinning room, we had to find our own meals, this became our favorite spot, sitting on the tailgate with a water view. Glad I married a country girl. we stayed an extra night to celebrate our 21st anniversary early. Visited Howe Caverns on the way home. There have been many weddings where this heart is, a couple hundred feet under ground. The best part is the winding way. A channel carved out by rushing water my phone didn't do the best video but you get the idea Last supper together as a family before our oldest headed off to college. also gave her a chance to say goodbye to the ocean. due to travel restrictions, we drove her to the PA/NY border and said goodbye. She was there before we were halfway home. Now she's in central Pennsylvania, at my wife's parent's house, first day of classes is tomorrow. Funny how she's attending real classes for the first time after being homeschooled from kindergarten, while most kids are going back to school from home. this is the pastor who builds the wooden canoes, finally took him out in one of my foam kayaks. He loved it. so much easier hauling stuff in a truck. Two barrels of jet fuel for winter heat. the governor held a press conference about his new guidelines at my work. As you can tell, I made sure that floor was spotless for the media.
I knew that was Howe Caverns as soon as I saw the bridal falls. Been there quite a few times when I was a kid and then with my own kids.
Rowerwet what travel restrictions do you have. I know as a new New Yorker if we were going out to Iowa for labor day weekend we would have to submit paper work and on returning we would have to do a 2 wk volunteer quarantine.
Your phone has the software to track you since April of this year. Apple and Android. Supposedly there are no apps using the capability of exploiting the software. wink, wink/ nod, nod. Besides there are other ways to know where your phon has been and not been. Unless you pull the battery out of course. There are neighbors and friends that will be triggered by your activity and report you and sleep well at night having done so ...
Not in my neighborhood. Lol. We have 3 neighbors that are close to us. One her aunt is my sil. don't thinAnother is a gal next door we get along fine with. The other, well lets say we have a truce. Lets just say that the other neighbors don't think to high of him and his dogs either.
I have to do a health survey each morning before going into the building, travel outside of the safe states (new England and new York) would force me to not work until 14 days was up. Never mind that NY is #4 in infections....
Part of the fun of owning a truck is all the stuff you can add to it. Putting on the reciever hitch I have a dash camera in every vehicle, people lie, but the camera doesn't. It's cheap insurance. I was looking for a backup camera, which this is however it's also a dash camera, and a rearview camera you see this when shifted into reverse but when driving forward, it puts the rear view into a side box view. It's a touch screen, if you touch the rear view picture, it does a split screen view. After a few seconds, the picture shuts off so you have normal rear view mirror function. But it keeps recording. Pretty slick for less than $100. I built my first boat back when I lived in Maine, and launched it on a nearby lake. It was for my daughter, I even wrote a story about it, and got it printed as a full color story book for her birthday. This is the text with some pictures Duckworks - Seagull the Mouseboat I'm looking at getting involved with a local youth program, getting them out paddling and with a camping trip next summer. It was kind of fitting to check out the place I launched my first boat, with my first Sawfish kayak, a boat I designed myself. the lake is privately owned, and surrounded by woods, with no houses at all. it's a man made lake, the story I heard is that someone set up a drag line and dug it out to irrigate a massive blueberry farm that never happened. Instead it irritates a turf farm. There are many small islands in it, and most have primitive camp sites. it will be fun to take city kids into the woods and let them see what it's like to have no street lights, houses or traffic around.
Bike riding with my parents and the kids I've seen this rail trail from the southeast distressway many times finally had to go ride it. I didn't realize that this is the bed of the oldest railroad in america. Brought my mom along as well, the trail parallels a branch of the red line in Boston, but one that isn't served by the normal red line trains. Instead it uses these ancient trolleys, Turns out my mom rode them to her parochial school when she was a girl, 50 some years ago. These exact same trolleys, the only upgrade is to add air conditioning to them. Apparently these trolleys are so old, the T gave one to the trolley museum in Kennebunk Maine, but then later had issues keeping their cars repaired. So they took their trolley(s) back. Neat bridge on the trail
plastic pallets are normally $10 each around here. I scored a whole truck load this week. I responded first to the ad, but as soon as I started loading them, another truck pulled up, then a little later another truck pulled up saying that they told him he could have them. I gave them each a few, I'm not sure I could have strapped any more on safely anyway. It was over an hours drive, but it was worth it! Another reason I love having a truck, before I did, I would have had to run home and get the trailer Also glad I didn't get a short bed truck, this kind of load wouldn't fit
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DGS11CM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title The backup camera the Frontier can come with is mounted in the tailgate by the handle. If you remove the tailgate you have to remember to unplug it, and when the tailgate open, it sees nothing. This still lets me see behind my truck with the tailgate down. hard to see in this picture because of the reflection, but the tailgate is the dark part at the top, I can still see anything below the tailgate
That's a great idea. But got a question: " Instead it irritates a turf farm. " why would they want to irritate a turf farm. Lol
back in August our oldest child headed of to college. We could only take her to the PA border because of the restrictions, unlike most places her school is open and the whole area is business as normal, she got a job as well and has been doing fine. It was weird not having quite as big of a family.
went back to another favorite place to paddle in Maine It's really not that far from everything, but it's in the middle of the woods and has no houses it's man made, and they dragged up the soil into many small islands, I had to stop and check out a few unfortunately I couldn't do much paddling due to a bad ache in my left elbow from a stretched tendon. My son and I got into mountain biking together though. Due to covid we also didn't go away for our anniversary, just an evening in York, this was about how it looked the night mrs Row said yes, at this spot. She couldn't even see what I gave her there until we got back to my truck. most of my saw collection finally has a home. For years it's been scattered around the basement, but I finally built this shelf for them, and other stuff. I collect old doors people are getting rid of for shelves, they're just the right size for bigger things IMO more fun on bikes 2020 will also be notable as the most pathetic year for snow, this was a surprise storm we got for Halloween. Without the sled legs, it wouldn't have been worth the effort
if you ever read the poem Casey at the bat, and wondered where mudville was, my dad grew up there. It's a part of center of Holliston, MA. The ball field where the game is set, is still there as well. I was in the area and had to revisit some of my childhood memories from staying at my grandmother's house. when you can't exercise with your arms, you go back to other things you used to do got a pair of the new inline skates, the style is called 3WD for only having 3 wheels. Those are 125mm wheels, wicked fast, compared to a normal inline skate. I've been hitting 18-20 mph on them which is fun. since we got into mountain biking, our old bikes really started to take a beating. On one trip, my old bike just let me know it was time for a new one. First the front derailleur broke, I managed to get it so I could keep riding, and went another 5 feet, when the seat hardware broke and the seat fell off... Rode it home slowly and carefully... My parents bought it for me for graduating high school, it was a top quality mountain bike then, but technology has changed a lot in 25 years. If you tried to buy a bike this year, you know it was impossible to find one. I got this one free, but it had fallen off of a car on the highway, snapped handlebars, bent wheels, broken derailleur hanger, torn seat. I was able to rebuild it ,but it's a gravel bike, not a mountain bike. I had to drive all the way down to the RI/CT border on the coast to get a real mountain bike with newer technology not the latest greatest, but as much as I'll probably need for the rest of my life, disc brakes, the better frame geometry, and front suspension. The front suspension alone means no more numb hands after riding on rough trails. once my son tried my bike, he decided it was worth the money to get a better one himself. More Facebook marketplace scouring and I scored him a nearly identical bike, down near fall river. He earned it all selling firewood and mowing. we've really gotten into riding now, the new bikes are so much better. We are lucky to live a mile from the local park with great trails for beginners, now we've been driving further away to other areas.
