The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

Yeah that railing is fucked, has been since I moved into this house in 1996. The concrete steps under it are even worse

We don't use the front door so can't convince ourselves it's worth what it'll cost to replace the whole thing.

a blue tarp would cover that up nicely… 4 mil should do the trick.

I use a 5 mil blue tarp to cover the electric mower in the backyard. Does that count?

you’ll definitely want to continue with that colorway then. you wouldn’t want your tarps clashing.

That's some serious city thinking. You want your upstate status revoked?!?!

Would open up the possibility of stopping for some chicken riggies and refreshments in Utica.

Ahem. No

Rt 20 is great and painful very painfull big shoulders so I don't mind riding it

My all time is Caz to chittenago on rt 13 as the sun was setting felt like we were coasting downhill forever it was dark as we rolled in and pretended we were the wizard of oz

Also rt 20 Morrisville to Caz at sunset was a ride to behold although it hurt

But yes plenty of quiet roads all over cny with painful 300 ft tall hills that hurt if you do them one after another

Yeah. You weren’t there. You were in Poughkeepsie. Picking your nose. On the street corner. Waving a scythe. And wearing a mask.

love that new barge smell… gulls hardly even had a decent chance to shit all over it yet.

"What's your cargo today?"

"Two folding chairs, some rope, and an axe."

"Carry on"

Ah, the life of a tugboat captain…

**riser4** · 08-23-2023, 10:29 AM

Fits like a glove.

**heckacali** · 08-23-2023, 10:42 AM

Did you at least use lube on the sides of the hull to slip it through...?

**riser4** · 08-23-2023, 10:52 AM

Heh. Tug Lube. Heh.

Ok. That was funny.

But wtf on that barge? Too much freeboard for loading. So I’m guessing it’s a liquid carrier? But not double wall safe. What the fuck is that for?
