NJ Monthly Lunch - March Edition

[Mrs. DantesDame]

It was great to meet some "locals", even if I think most of you were from "South Jersey"    Damn - a three hour lunch! But hey, if we're not going to ride at least with can hang out and chat!  

We tried to go home via the South Mountain Reservation, but alas, it was still blocked. However this time we could see why: a massive tree had fallen across the road and taken down the power lines with it. Whoops!

I'll post up next month's lunch soon!  

[dgshaffer]

Actually we're from North, South-Central with a little west/east PA thrown in

Great Meet and Greet!  It was a pleasure meeting everyone.  Haha, I'm not too south.  Maybe mid south?!?!

Michelle, my wife, asked if I told the infamous “Chuck” story.  For those who didn’t meet Chuck today, this won’t be relevant.  

The first time I met Chuck was on a multiple day trip.  At a gas stop in the Catskills, I see an older man (probably close to or in his 80’s) approach Chuck on his k12s.  The only part of the conversation all of us hear is Chuck saying, “Did you know they make cars too?”  We all stop, look at the older man who now has a “wtf” look on his face and we all start laughing.  The poor guy left shortly thereafter.  I wondered why I was rooming with Chuck the rest of the trip.  

One of the many reasons Chuck and I are friends!

DG...pm coming!

I spotted this yesturday.  I will have to keep a keen eye out for the next one.

[Mrs. DantesDame]

That "keen eye" should see something by tomorrow - look for a new thread

Oooooohhh goodie

Question for the locals!!!!!

How does one dispose of old tires? I have one sitting the garage right now, but after the Tech Day I'll have three more. Can I take them to the community recycle center? Put them out with the bulky garbage pick up? Help!  

[dgshaffer]

The guys in South jersey call them kindling. That camp fire burns all night long  

Proper disposal would require a moonless night and a neighbors garbage can  

OK, I'm through. I have no idea since mine go in the dumpster at my shop.

Check your county's hazardous waste removal site (paint cans, oil, etc). They may take them.  If not, ask a local garage to take them. They may charge a few $.

hehe just bring 'em to PA and just dump them in a hole in the ground like they do with all the rest of the Jersey/NY garbage.

[dgshaffer]

Or you can bring them up to Centralia and watch them catch fire

You actually got one serious response.  That's a really high percentage from this group.  You must be held in high esteem.

Our township has two hazardous waste collection days each year where they accept most anything free of charge.

Except dead lead-acid batteries.  They can be even harder to get rid of.   Even here in PA.

And they don't burn well.

Haha!  I did check my county (burlington) and they didn't list tires.  I'll ask a friend, he has a small mc shop in Belvidere but he charges $3 each disposal fee.

[Mrs. DantesDame]

I got my answer: the local recycle center takes them, M-F. I was up there dropping off some cardboard (can you believe that I have a garbage collection of *some* type four days a week but none of them take cardboard (unless I put it in the trash   )  ANYWAY... I emptied out the motor oil container and found someone working there who showed me where the tires go. Sweet  

PS - none of this (oil or tires) was listed on any website I could find anywhere. Way to go, government

Try this:

That site lists my county's hazardous waste site!  F-ers didn't list it on their website.  

Thanks for the link Mcoccia!
