FINN

Been using Photobucket for like 13 years I think. Last 2 or so years it has turned to shit. I have trouble accessing my pics in the evenings. Whats a good alternative?

Well.....I'm pretty sure most of the U.S. is under open container laws. I rebelled.

Melissa and I decided to take a 4 day vacation and drive all over the East Coast stopping by breweries along the way. This has been one of my favorite vacations. We had no idea what we were doing, other than driving and googling along the way. Packed and ready to go. Ended up putting 2k miles on it. In New York. I also got a speeding ticket. 2nd in my life. 80 in a 65. First stop for the night was Lake George in New York. Next morning we head out towards Vermont. And holy shit we found some of the best driving roads. Stopped at Fiddlehead Brewing. Mastermind was great. Never got licorice from an IPA before. MagicHat Foam Those were all in Burlington VT. Then we headed to Stowe VT for the elusive Alchemist and his Heady Topper. It is so damn good. Also brought back Focal Banger. Such a juicy dank beer. Next stop was Portland Maine to see the ocean and eat lobster. We decided to drive through The White Mountain National Forrest. When we got to Portland, not a single hotel room was found within a 40mile radius. So we found another brewery, got drunk, and passed out in the car with sleeping bags. Got up very early next morning and drove down the coast to Boston stopping by York Beach. There are breweries I forgot to mention. All in all, an amazing way to rack up 2k miles on an old Volvo.

Thanks guys. I want to look at finishing the garage floors next year. Probably either stain or epoxy. Just so much damn floor to finish...

First fire in the fireplace. I like when 850s show up for details. We put a newer m56 in Nick's T5M only to find 3rd gear synchros were shit. Sometimes my neighbors get too drunk to drive their tractors home lol. Been enjoying some fun beers over the summer... My friend just got his 240 painted. ...yes these are really random

Thanks!

I need mod help. Can't reply to my thread in Showroom...

Everything lol. Always had a real soft spot for the E49 M5 but low mileage examples are getting pricey. The newer one gives me all those feels too. Also been eyeing the CLS63. Really a great looking car with power.

Timo what do you know about maintenance on these?

It wont get much mileage put on it, just dinners and whatnot. My good friend has the M6 with the V10. That motor is godly.

Anyone have any experience with the BMW E60 M5? Looking to expand the stable.

Thumbs all the way up. Where did you find the Volvo banner?

All I have to say is fuck ivy. Ive scorched earth, sprayed chemicals, and finally resorted to having my neighbor come with a front end loader and rip that shit out. I have hundreds of miles of it.

Finding time to game a little too.

Still coming along. Had to start cutting down dead ash trees with my neighbor. Detached is getting more attention now too. Got started building work desks.

Nice. I like the window shutters.

Bringing the overall theme of the house into the barn as well?

Johann this place has insane amount of character! Looking forward to this very much. Also, looks like you have your work cut out.

Yup. Got lucky though. Previous owner has overhauled both electric and plumbing of the house. Old box in the basement. Newer box in the garage. Plumbing work.

Really opened up that living space!

Some progress pics. Bedrooms are done for the most part. We love the carpet so much that I'm gonna have them install it in the office as well. I made a beam. New and improved basement stairs. Turok approves of the new toilets. Knocked some more holes into the walls. We wanted to raise the arch but there is a massive load bearing beam I don't want to get into trouble with yet. Love the sunsets. And had to buy a zero turn since push mowing the property would probably take a few hours.

Yup that's original. Another shot of the office entrance. And a wild kitty appears.

There are some original windows left.

One room down.

Took out a closet to open this bedroom up. This will be the master suite. Next room over is our closet. Setup my office in the barn for now. Starting to get cluttered keeping all the belongings in.
