Really I have seen cars on the road that shouldn’t be . Bald tires things falling off can’t tell ya how many break ball joints and hub bearings loosing a wheel . Cars need to be safety inspected because most people have no clueVehicle "safety" inspections are a pure BS cash grab. Big brother telling you your car is "safe" to drive. Give me a break. Haha

Yesterday and today I’ve boiled down about 35 gallons . By tonight I hope to have the finished product just about done . My sap started around 3 1/2 percent so about 25ish to make a gallonNice! How much sap are you doing today? Looks like I'm about 2/3rds of the way there in 4 hours.
I didn't get as ambitious as cooking food while I'm boiling sap, but I did get several of these cut and varnished for picture frames.

Plenty of states do just fine without it. Just another way for the gov to stick their nose where it don't belong and take your money while they're at it.Really I have seen cars on the road that shouldn’t be .

And most of the charge goes to the independent station that performs the inspection .
All 7 of them . Again the state makes nothing except the cost of the sticker.Plenty of states do just fine without it. Just another way for the gov to stick their nose where it don't belong and take your money while they're at it.
If you're ok with it, then by all means, keep paying the man. I just think it's overreach.
I will agree. I've maintained my vehicles on my own for the last 35 years and on the rare occasion that I've needed a second opinion, I paid for others' time, facilities and expertise without any help from Govco.Plenty of states do just fine without it.

They sure make plenty of revenue when you roll up to their jackboot roadblocks and you don't have that precious little up to date sticker on your windshield.All 7 of them . Again the state makes nothing except the cost of the sticker.
Not paying the man as you say . And I am good with it as I have responded to many accidents were mechanical failure was to blame . Both as a tow truck operator and a first responder.
but let’s not beat a dead horse
20 to 50 bucks on average up to 100 for no inspection sticker or over 60 days and it’s usually a fix it ticket . You get the inspection it’s dropped .They sure make plenty of revenue when you roll up to their jackboot roadblocks and you don't have that precious little up to date sticker on your windshield.
But like you said, let's stop kicking this poor thing.
Thought of you yesterday. Took a back road home and saw Studebaker lane. About 8 miles from my place. Not my pics.Really I have seen cars on the road that shouldn’t be .

19 million people in NYS give or take, so it a only takes a small percentage of scofflaws to line the governors pockets at 20 to 50 bucks a pop.20 to 50 bucks on average up to 100 for no inspection sticker or over 60 days and it’s usually a fix it ticket . You get the inspection it’s dropped .

Awesome Gramps , keep them outside and active , healthy lifestyle !Took my Grandson to the bush yesterday to bring home a load of logs I cut on Friday. At this landing there is an old cabin that my brother and his buddies built about 35 years ago. He usually plays there or climbs trees while I load. I can see where he is the whole time I'm there. I have work benches at the other 3 landings and he usually lays on there watching the clouds go by as I load.
Sounds right. Sugar maple usually is 25 to 1. Other maples are 40 to 1.Yesterday and today I’ve boiled down about 35 gallons . By tonight I hope to have the finished product just about done . My sap started around 3 1/2 percent so about 25ish to make a gallon
Ohh and it’s a first for me . Sunny 63• out doing it in a tee shirt . Getting a little red too
Good old NYS. I had a couple run ins when I was up there. Burned out headlight and I needed to go to the highway patrol office to show them I fixed it or pay a major fine. Had another issue in town in Saratoga (woman cop was a major *****, downright unprofessional) and I ended up paying a $250 ticket cause I was already out of state. Or I could have flown back to plead my case in court lol.20 to 50 bucks on average up to 100 for no inspection sticker or over 60 days and it’s usually a fix it ticket .
