One of my close high school friends went there and still reveres the place. He even did two stints as an instructor during his career. He was always more comfortable in a structured environment than I was though. Honestly he kind of needs the structure I think. After 20 some years in the army he went back to school for a PHD. I couldn’t handle it, even if I had the grades. School was prison for me.Quote:

They have been out of the auto market long enough (7 years or so) that it will probably be a harder find. If you know a good mechanic that can take it apart and rebuild it (depending on what is wrong with it and how bad of damage) otherwise better check with some junk yards that can search far and wide for specific year model engines that will drop in.Quote:

There are no ski areas left south of Rt 6 which just happens to be sight distance from West Point. This ski areas vs no ski areas is the perfect determinant for this forum. Perfect!Quote:

Victor Constance Ski Slope. I skied there a bunch. West Point had a varsity ski team my freshman year and I was on it (although not competitive). They then made it a club sport the following year.

That’s what I paid for a case of UC when I first discovered it around 1991. It came in cool bullet bottles back then too- like the shape of a red stripe.

Thought I should mention that.

Yes... Good thing it only affected a few things and didn't get the breweries and distilleries.
Eastern Upstate ? beverage of the day :)

^ totally underrated Vermont brewery.
If West Pont is upstate, then I may be detouring through the upstate on my way to Providence for work next week.
The CIA and West Point are clearly upstate.
Not the whole fist upstate, but upstate nonetheless.
The Bear Mountain Bridge is the clear delineator.
Rt 6 :)
I feel like we are very close to consensus on this point at least. Does this mean we’re finished?Quote:
