Sounds like you might need more oomf and clearance. Ours are basically commuter cars that we can throw our bikes/skis/dog in. It's not technically off-roading or mudding but some of the dirt roads that I typically drive on can have up to 8" ruts in soft mud. The same roads have correspondingly great "potholes", washboarding, etc. at times. You can drive on paved roads to get to the same location but you're going to spend quite a bit of time going around. I live on a hill and the road was put in before the current standards which I believe limit the grade to 9%. It would fail that test but thankfully it's paved. Last I knew (probably a decade ago) my town had 30% paved roads. It's substantially cheaper to repair with gravel and a grader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating to watch the scientific advancements being made, many which lead to real world products in use in many fields. That's big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 @Damage In Tolland Got some Hoof Hearted "$50 Nachos" today. Man, super tasty. It says on the can it's brewed at 12%, which confuses me. I thought they were out in Indiana or something. Do you know what the deal is? Is 12% a contract brewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve talked about this I think . 12% is a contract brewery where brewers can go an brew. It’s where FOC , Hoof Hearted , Marlowe and many others brew almost all their beer. They rent out the vats and space to brew . But only high end breweries . The breweries sell it as their own and 12% also gets a certain portion of proceeds. They’re right in your backyard dude in North Haven. I know we discussed this at least once . https://www.instagram.com/twelve.percent.beer.project/?igshid=1szbmdp11vxe6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I’ve had a lot of free time (lol) obviously, and it’s absolutely astonishing what the real number of infected people in this country probably is. There are estimates out there that over 120 million people have contracted the virus or roughly 1/3 of the US pop. Especially in the early months of the pandemic, where tests weren’t readily available to all who wanted or needed them, it’s estimated by some, That only 1 in 10 infections were being caught.

Musk, just bought 1.5 Billion. I wouldn't sell Bitcoin at all. The key with bitcoin is the Supply is very limited, if Large Institutions decide to allocate even 2% of their funds into Crypto (like Kathy wood-top money manager of 2020 is) then this literally goes to the moon, and is likely the reason it is already heading there. Steady accumulation buy Huge institutions just grinds this higher . The top for Bitcoin is so far up it's hard to see. 200,000 is very doable as institutions with billions invested begin to allocate Cyrpto in small amounts, as opposed to having never had any. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we've had the Jeep, we've also gone through a Forester and have replaced that with a Crosstrek. So we're definitely part of the northern NE crew with Subarus. The Subaru / Jeep mix has served us well. There have been times when the Subarus weren't going to cut it either in terms of clearance, power or 4 wheel low and it's been nice to have the Jeep. Otoh, the I don't necessarily want to spend 40K or more for a Jeep. The Wrangler (and perhaps other Jeep models) are built to handle off-roading. Subarus are built to handle almost all on-road conditions, a significant difference. Hitting major LES in western PA (heaviest snowfall rates I've ever seen though little wind) was a lot more comfortable in our first Forester than it had been two years earlier in our little Mazda pickup, especially as we'd left all the extra weight in Illinois as Christmas presents for the grandkids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting serious, this last event produced fluff in southern Maine and nothing here, so I've no idea where those trucks are heading to or returning from.
