  1. The insurance companies lobbied the Gov't to band studs and chains. It was costing a fortune.And of coarse they agreed because of the damage to the asphalt. The problem with studs are pot holes.When the tire flex's it like to throw studs. The studs would chew out the pot hole worse, And ,of course you can't get away from the billions of pot holes there are by the end of the season from the plows ripping off the frost heaves. If you don't run your A\S in salt and sand season you will get 120k Kms or more out of them. Tire science today is a art form.If you believe there is no difference. I say LOL. Guy's that rally race in the snow use A\S. Know a few people the run rain tire all year around. Most of the time your driving in slush, In the city.
  2. I must be the king of the wussie's. I have snow tires on my 7200lb 4x4 truck. But them again I just spent 8 hours in a man-basket 120ft off the ground. Outside!
  3. Don't give a crap if it's cold,as long as I'm dry. I live in Richmond Hill. The winter months are strange here . With it being on the lower part of the great pine ridge.It has a tendency to have alot of lake effect.Seems that the only time it's not snowing is because it's to cold. Had a good one at work.Needed to change a fuel pump. On this type of machine, you have to lay across the cat walk with your legs sticking straight out,away from the machine.Guess which way the wind was plowing. In T.O. When some one asks what the temp is.We don't say -4. We say -17 with the wind chill.LOL.
  4. I have the 998 bird. At max sensitivity it will mark the the wire for the balls. It also has the side imaging. Works great,I see bait balls 250 feet from the side that you would never see with down looking.
  5. 80w-90 is made for a open gear case.It swells and becomes thin with heat so you get the splash effect. this is why there's a breather tube. Lower unit or closed gear case oil doesn't swell from heat.No pressure build up in a closed gear case. All water will mix with gear oil. the gears will make sure of this.Water will separate from 80w-90 if it sit long enough. If you get enough water in the oil it will break down the viscosity,making for a chance the gears will touch.
  6. Ah Brian, How does the air get out.
  7. What is the gauge reading right now.

    Hey Rick!

    Happy Birthday Rick.
  9. I have a dewalt drill I been using at work for 15 years.I only drill steel with it. IT has drill holds in 8 inches of steel and up too 4 inch hole. The first thing I did was replace the key-less chuck for a keyed one. This highly reduces chuck slippage.Slippage is what kills drills.
  10. Great,Just what I needed was another addiction. List of my addictions so far. WORK. CRUDE OIL. TAX. AIR.
  11. Dad had an interesting story to tell about WW2.Being Polish he fought for the Germans(not on his own accord). He was In France when he got captured by the Americans.He and four buddies ran from the lines and start to look for the Allies.He told me that he walked right up to the American lines unnoticed.The Americans their were busy digging in. Dad said they where so close by time they got notice(four guys in German uniforms) the sentry almost crap himself. After his release he joined the Polish army and went back to Belgium to fight the Germans. Three Uncles also fought. My uncle Alfonz fought beginning to end.
  12. Oh yeah. It's a Ford. Couldn't get going fast enough to hit it that hard. I grazed a rock.
  13. Go to the bone yard and get one.You may have cracked it,but looks like the seal is leaking. I know quite a few people that have hit them,myself twice and every time they were cracked.
  14. I see a pristine white rubber room in you're future...
  15. Time to do a amperage draw test. Set meter up to do amps. Look in the manual it will tell you how much amps the unit draws.Put test leads in fuse holder. turn unit on .if amps are to high it's the unit.to low it's your wires. Like I always say. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE VOLTAGE BUT THE AMPERAGE.
  16. Do you think a place like advance would give me a replica of my pickerel. If I let them use it to make a mould?
  17. Take it out to the back 40 and pound the snot out of it. Replace what ever breaks or blows up.
  18. Emil. Check the battery again. I suspect that you have a bad terminal. With your meter. Place the leads on just the lead posts,Take reading. Then place just on connectors. Take reading. If there is any change theres the problem.
  19. Two pages of Ford problems and still no smart comments. Still better then a Dodge.
  20. Polliwogg. If you are long lining(200ft plus line out)or down rigging.Your mobility is restricted by the lines. Then you are classified as a fishing vessel.
  21. Dan. Keep your friends close and your enemies ...... Nice Fish!
  22. I just went through the department of justice again. The rules are still the same. The "vessel" that has the better mobility must give way. This also goes for sail boater to boaters that are fishing. Oh by the way. In the real rules and laws. The word the right of way never appear. Since the idea is to prevent a collision!!
