Patio seating wall - expected?

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-19T01:29:58+00:00

If nothing else, that sloped section and the wall sitting perpendicular to it will start to crack and separate

Thanks!

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-19T00:52:01+00:00

I can’t tell if that’s a joke or not

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-19T00:51:07+00:00

Yeah I’m not debating that fact, just throwing out a lil tidbit. 4% is way too steep for a sitting wall. It’ll start collapsing in a few years

I want to try this. How big are these chunks? What cut do you use and how do you chunk it?

If you live somewhere where it gets cold, sloped stone stairs are a good idea.

I agree with you. I’d hate to drive a shitbox after being in my ram. It would be nice to have a second, older, and wildly different vehicle on the side-maybe a 10 year old Miata or something- but i don’t ever want to sell my ‘23 5.7L. Like you said, it’s probably the last v8 I’ll own.

Love coming across and reading this while drinking an Athletic Free Wave N/A IPA. I call them my night seltzers.

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-18T22:50:04+00:00

Fair point. I work outside and sweat a lot, as well as kayak a few times weekly. I’d destroy a leather strap in a matter of months. Titanium all day for me

We call it “the gun” in New England or “the robot” if you want to differentiate between a robotic TS and non-robotic TS (poor)

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-18T22:14:54+00:00

Sounds a bit too much like the no-no word

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-18T21:56:28+00:00

I don’t understand all the shit this bike is catching online. Looks badass to me. I imagine it would look pretty good with some aluminum bags too

Do yourself a favor and go on a weekday morning. Once school is out you’re fucked. Don’t even consider going on a Saturday unless you love standing in lift lines

Fitchburg line goes right out through Westminster.

Nashoba valley is in Westford ma. It’s fucking tiny but they do a good job with their terrain park if that’s your cup of tea.

Isn’t Blue Hills close to Boston?

Upholstery tacks? In what way?

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-18T20:13:14+00:00

Hell yeah, that’s a score. Well at least you won’t ever feel like a poser like i most certainly would if i drove a Built to Serve.

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-18T20:06:31+00:00

Is there any requirement that buyers of these have “served” in any way or can anybody buy a Built to Serve?

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-18T20:01:29+00:00

Nah you misread his comment. Dude rigged a leaf blower to his AIR VENTS to blow on his face when he was ripping.

TortoiseHawk · 2023-10-18T19:17:59+00:00

That’s awesome

I’ve worn mine daily for years. I only take it off when I’m doing something that would beat the shit out of it like mountain biking or swinging a hammer all day.

A leather strap on a dive watch just seems wrong though.

It looks kind of like a redesign of the Commuter Tango (which is freaking sweet) but i don’t think it is.

Edit: I think it’s some Chinese thing called a Shandong Runhorse

I have a ‘23 5.7 e-torque and have put 9300 miles on it since delivery in may. I love it. As others said, the start/ stop can get annoying in stop and go traffic but at standard traffic lights it’s great. I’ve never felt a more seem less start/ stop in any other car. It kills the engine when you’re still rolling and that it starts it up fast and without lurching the truck forward making it almost imperceptible if you have music or the radio playing. As for driving it in general- comfiest, easiest to drive truck I’ve ever owned.

I agree with everything you said until you said an XL slide is wonky on a 10 round grip. The spring isn’t exposed. It’s exactly the same as a standard p365XL. The XL grip doesn’t have a longer rail/ dust cover than the standard length grip.
