I may become the king of the shoot the shit threads? Not bad for a slacker...;)
Pot is part of my life but there is other stuff I consider fun also.
So show us your what you got if you enjoy cruising or riding.
I got 2 convertibles that I drive throughout the year.

The crossfire. This car has been driven all season before I bought it so it goes out when the other does not.
@Bandit420 I got your custom plate here~!
Second vert is a little nicer and does not go out in bad weather ,but has been caught in the rain a couple times.

So what you got?
 
You guys got me beat. Love the Bette pic is that watkins Glenn?
No not Watkins Glenn. I would love to go there though.
The picture is in Warrensburg next to a building that screamed take a picture in front of it!
Warrenburg is close to Lake George.
I seem to be driven to water no matter where I go.
Saturday went for a cruise around Saratoga county and visited 3 lakes.
 
I just got a used Kubota BX25 with bucket and backhoe last fall~! :love: Only like 400 hours on it.👍
It's going to make this old man's life a little easier, I hope.
Got to get a picture. I can't believe I have not taken one of it yet.

Had a brand new LA805 need 5 trips back to the dealer on a flatbed over 2yr period. Would randomly shit the bed and not start, super handy. They tried to get way too clever with fuel management and emissions bullshit. Of course you cant work on anything yourself now. The dealer tech couldnt figure it out, ended up needing to fly a factory tech out to fix w his laptop and a new fuel ecm. So stupid. They eventually bought it back.
 
Mine is a 2013 from an old ' snowbird' who now has his son and larger tractor to take care of him when not in Fla.
I hope nothing goes wrong. I have all the service info from old owner and he never mentioned any issues.
Fingers crossed for sure. They don't want us servicing anything for ourselves anymore.

My old man got out of farming because of a lot of that bullshit. They always did their own work. Now you gotta pay for techs to fly out while your crops sit there.
Family friend in Mi farms over 3000 acres all leased and he subs out most work - meaning a crew comes in and plants then moves on same with harvest - he owns very little equipment! What he does have you can program to basically drive itself air con and all
 
Not very often you see a Harley and rice in the same garage! I’m a Yamaha guy though no bike now last one was a r6
Nice man I love R6's. And yeah Im not judgemental, rice burners have their place and so do Harley's imo. One's for cruising long distance lookin cool and sounding cool, other one is for zipping round the canyons. As small as the 400cc bike is, it hauls around the twisties :P. And the Kona yeah bro, Kona is a legit brand. Mountain biking foundation in every bike they make nowadays. This bike is my all rounder, take it on the mtb trail, on the road, everything in between. I can put knobbies on it and it shreds the singletrack.
 
Hey I've no pics to show off but cycling was a big part of my 20's, I road my first road bike to Hawaii from Vancouver......well flew from Seattle then around Ohahu ot took me 10 months,,,,,lol....then my Nishiki? Vancouver BC- San louis Obisbo California - 2 weeks, 1 week around the Olympic Peninsula......

I could easily ride 100 miles a day.......1987 - 1993 I road a 400 Yamaha for a couple of years then a 1976 - 750 K Honda the rest of the time switching parts with 3 other 750 Honda's. I commuted to work though city traffic 180km round trip Maple Ridge - UBC then I got T boned, broke Tib/ fib left leg...end of my biking for life oddly I was 42 at the time and I didn't know then that I'd never ride again.........

Hockey too thinking about it, I'd played scrub leagues off and on but after that nothing........fk....got old......no tennis, baseball, ..........lol...lights out gotta go......
 
My first bike was a GSXR-750. I actually learned how to ride a motorcycle pulling it out in traffic the day I bought it. Hit 155mph going across alligator alley back to my girl's apartment. Stimulating day overall. Still married 24yrs later, had to sell the bike after kid #2 though.

When I was in my 30's I'd still get asked for ID, when I was 50 & 60 people would say no way you're not that old. Now that I'm 70 when I say that people just nod, yep 70's about right....WTF happened the last 10 years??? I got old all around real quick like.

it just reminds me of ouch now......If I took a spill now, which would be inevitable it would hurt too much for too long...just the word recovery scares me now........I can't watch fails.......I feel the pain in short flashes when I watch folks get injured on a bike because I feel like I've had them all...... wrist, collar bone, tib/fib/ my poor knees and more scratches and road rash than I want to think about.. I can't even gym ride because my knees are gone and anymore abuse I need a new left knee to start followed by a right....
 
this here is my baby...long term project car Ive been working on...total rust bucket but piece by piece Ive been rebuilding her...

1970 Pontiac Formula Firebird... 400 Ram Air 3, came from the factory atoll Blue, less then 1200 total made. had her shipped in from Georgia...dubbed her the georgia peach.

So far Ive cut out and replaced the floor boards, toe boards, rear seat floor boards, and package tray drop offs. Working on the fenders right now...already shaved the side marker lights, and working on getting the metal work on them done.

body work is in my blood...

My grandfather owned / operated the Cottage Grove Autobody shop, and at one point, if you raced at the cottage grove track, you knew my grandfather.

This was his last project before he passed. 58 simca, he built it all from a rusted-out cowl and vin plate. On dialysis 3 times a week, weighed 90 pounds soaking wet, out pulling motors in his garage. Grit like this young generation barely understands. He outlived 2 wives, a son, 2 grand children, one of which he raised, and kept a smile somehow thru all the bs life can give you. His only wish before he died was finishing this truck so it could be sold and pay off all his wives' debt. 325359763_3135153523450654_483391548923803935_n.jpg324181996_1278017819416030_6531752829296925193_n.jpg35359998_10213820363161758_2460594640848420864_n.jpg
