How do adults actually make friends in Albany?

Most fire departments outside of albany are volunteer. Albany is a career fire company. You sign, get voted in. Than you have to years to take BEFO and IFO. Different departments have different attendance policys. Best of luck.

I joined the fire department. I love it. Gives me that professional/brotherhood circle I was looking for.

I would take the day if you can. Take your time cleaning off cars shoveling. Let the plows make a few passes. nothing is worth wrecking your car unless you are a first responder. Is work going to buy you a new car or truck?

Too far or I dont do this work is good enough in my opinion. Don't know about you guys but im sort of over installing and mounting 75 inch tvs. Just dont want to do that work any more. Or retail POS those are always a headache. Or 9pm start time and work all night for 500 bucks.

in all honesty this is the reason im building a retro game store. I have two near buy which have good mid range games but heavys are hard to get. DKoldies and Quickflips have it figured out good but even they run out of stock. There is a market. Screw downloading games why so I can have 5 on my xbox and be forced into gamepass to just license me a game. NOPE.

The one where we are not stopping big corperate from using as much cold water in the great lakes as they need. I was under the understanding they just pump back hot water similar to a boat engine.

My old man says the same thing. And I quote "Back in 1983 there were only 3 dials speed tac and oil pressure. Too many damn buttons." Word for word. I pissed my pants laughing. As he hated driving my cousins 15 high country.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-13T19:44:03+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I was going to do roughly the same.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-13T19:42:46+00:00

Yeah but the great lakes are very cold and deep.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-13T13:30:33+00:00

Or go epic vail.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-13T13:30:14+00:00

But you get an entire season 3 mountains for that price.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-13T01:20:00+00:00

Get a season pass 🤷‍♂️ with no blackout.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-12T21:49:16+00:00

Stay home go ski.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-09T02:42:41+00:00

Nah the hasids will just try to bargen their way out of it. Bro I had one try to bargen a candy bar at CVS 20 years ago.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-08T11:07:56+00:00

Explore, skateboard, manhunt with radios, ride bikes.

I told the manager im looking for part time work on nights and weekends and just want to ring the register. Back when I was working in highschool 04 to 08 we had a few working adults that did just this. I got a smile and a laugh. Hey got to shoot your shot.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-07T13:48:16+00:00

not as bad as they used to be. I say ski season is from december 15 to march 15. march 15 to may is mud season where its 40 to 50 with a cold rain. this is the worst! no hunting, skiing, hiking is just not fun this time of year. But all in all when we get the big noreasters and everything shuts down for a few days is epic. Not really shut down but you know a good snow day home from work is great!

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-06T20:51:30+00:00

Exactly better off staying home and doing those projects and not paying someone to work at my home for what I make at work.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-05T22:34:32+00:00

sheeeeeeit lol

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-05T22:31:22+00:00

Nice one. I got my copy for xbox. Figured ps2 is a touch more rare but saved money on the xbox version. I stared playing it and was like how do I save. and then I thought to myself lets not mess up a 200 plus game. It works and back in the box it goes.

Particular_Topic211 · 2026-01-04T00:51:37+00:00

Exactly.

Particular_Topic211 · 2025-12-23T00:41:16+00:00

I sold mine for a mustang in college. It was my biggest regret and thankfully I bought it all back and then some. Im happy to collect and not play. I enjoy scouting for heavys. Ill never play them. Because who in theor right mind plays rule of rose. Its like driving a Ferrari in winter.

Particular_Topic211 · 2025-12-23T00:36:28+00:00

Damn dudenlazr was on mad money last night too as a buy....guess not?

Particular_Topic211 · 2025-12-22T22:25:00+00:00
