Morning everyone.

We are in for a warm day, mid 50's today. And it's HUMP day folks.

Well it's that time of year and we have pot hole, or should I say craters. Saw that the state was out there fill them yesterday. They can be bad on the suspension of our trucks and cars. So watch out for them.

Good morning everyone.

Looking forward to a warm day for a change. Hoping there are more to come in the near future. Did you get that winterfront installed John?

Morning Connecticut,

A lot of melting going on out there. They are saying A little chillier this weekend with rain. A cold rain ain't to bad, will slow down the melt. Saturday night is the camping pot luck diner. So I guess it will be in the cold rain but we will be in the rec hall so it doesn't really matter.

Note: If you have a snowmobile your in luck. Fresh snow this weekend and into next week from Vermont to Maine.

Tom, Jeff and I took out the winter grill cover and it's exactly what we are looking for. So we decided to hit the junk yards and look for a beat up grill to attach it to and use it as a winter grill.


this is my favorite. running a close second

Glad to hear it John! I can't find any photos of the cover on my '11, but I liked it.

Thinking about buying my wife a minivan. Looking around Manchester Honda has a good deal on a '12 Odyssey that would fit the bill.

Morning guys.
Just waiting for the guys to do the blowerdoor test on the addition.

Tom we have an '11 Odyssey and love it.
One thing I added were airbags in the rear coils and they made a big difference for only about $90 and 2hrs of work

John good luck on your grill hunt.

Put a deposit down today. We should pick it up Saturday assuming they don't screw the deal up.

Good morning everyone.

Manchester Honda seems to be doing their best to screw this up. They're the only dealer I've found in the 12 years I've been in the military giving me grief about local sales tax. I'm a resident of New Hampshire, and federal law lets me do that. Trying to tell me I have to pay CT sales tax even though it'll never be registered here. Don't mean to sound like an entitled jerk, but I'm not doing it. So we'll see what happens, worse comes to worst I get my deposit back and find another one.

Tom You should have asked for the deposit back already. Money is a motivator.
