  1. If you own any Harbor Freight stands STOP using them and check the product number. 454,000 of them out there that may have the ability to collapse. https://www.thedrive.com/news/33572/harbor-freight-recalls-jack-stands-that-could-suddenly-collapse?fbclid=IwAR1X5za85AEA-pEz7ePEz6SL22585er0sFU3FQHiYWhrM4Y4cm9DY3gAcVM

  2. What a sweet deal it was. Cabelas open 9 am. I B-Line to the bargian cave. Loads of tying materials marked down stupid crazy prices. 50-75 % savings. Loaded up. Then I see this wrapped up thing with just some brass showing. Pick it up,read the tag and say,no way. There is usually a note saying something is missing. I ask the lady if she could cut the tape and wrap so I could look at it. Sure as crap,it,was a Griffon rotary vise and everything was in the bundle. One motion jaw for all hook sizes .Reg $200 marked down to $19. I asked no questions. B-Line it to the cash,pay and yelling,start the Ram, start the Ram. LOL Out with the old In with the new

  3. I don’t get it they can organize a 100 car cruise to drive by a hospital and that’s fine but a car club doing the same thing, just driving by something else is illegal

  4. The engine popped/died crossing the airport fence and he grabbed as much altitude as he could. Whether it was with the hope to turn back to the airport (that we're generally trained NOT to do) or eject only the pilot can tell that tale and will in time. I'd originally thought it stalled and spiralled and may well have, I don't know the characteristics of a Tudor.... a Cessna would have dropped the outside wing in the turn (right) and rolled over opposite to what this Tudor did. Maybe he rolled to make sure the canapy cleared.

  7. I thought the same. Too bad it happened so fast and they weren't able to eject at the top of the turn/stall. Wondering if the engine sucked in a bird?

  8. Hey guys, just an update on this and to spread some knowledge at the expense of my many many many far too many hours of reading... as many already know there are basically 3 battery companies that manufacture the majority of both lead acid and AGM batteries in North America. typically the quality of them is considered by ranking them in the following order east penn/deka johnson controls expride you can throw Trojan and odyssey in the mix if you want but I would consider them to somewhat be in a total league of their own. I came to the conclusion that they were indeed out of my personal price range. $500+ tax was just a bit too much for me. After reading more and more and attempting to determine who makes what for who I finally was able to come to a conclusion of who owns what. Expride seems to have basically disappeared johnson controls makes Kirkland, energizer and optima batteries east penn/deka owns deka battery, USA battery, but within the last year and a half has now started manufacturing canadian Tire’s ultra AGM batteries. This was huge news and finally explained why the heck the nautilus AGM batteries were so bloody expensive. People have cross referenced and you’ll actually notice that the canadian tire batteries have an identical casing to deka batteries with the exact same ratings. Canadian tire now also offers an industry leading 4 year totally comprehensive replacement warranty for their ultra AGM line of batteries. And most crazy of all the specs of their smaller ultra AGM batteries actually exceeds the cranking amps and amp hour specs on larger batteries. Saving me some much needed weight and space. so the decision was made, lucky for me they actually are on sale right now too. i figured I would share this info with everyone because it saved me a few hundred bucks, got me a battery with an unparralled warranty and has some of the highest quality components in the market. good on canadian tire for stepping up and providing a quality option in the canadian market at a reasonable price. Unfortunately it seems the battery brands change hands frequently.

  18. I don’t really leave my batteries on the charger long enough to boil them down that bad...plus it’s a brand new noco genius which specifically are supposed to not overcharge by monitoring the voltage to ensure they don’t overcharge. I think it’s more likely that my batteries are just showing their age (11 years now!)
