  1. I lost count of how many gloves I lost bumper skiing behind cars. We even used tow ropes and snow boards skies saucers trashcan lids etc. Mostly bumps and bruises from the activities but no worse than sledding down a hill.

  2. I find meal worms at most pet stores that sell food for reptiles. They are cheaper than the baitshop and usually in better shape.

     

    BTW I have never been mad enough to call my minnows pinheads, some of fishing partners yes but not my bait.

  3. Joe was extra nice to me he got me a Marlin bolt action 12 gauge slug master. I also got a few other items for my gun collection. A new spotter scope, a trucolor aim and point for my PPS 43C zombie killer and a promise for the 16 inch 9MM barrel from the machine shop. A new set of spiral deep cycle batteries for the boat and a few metal working tools for the garage. Thank you Santa and all of his elves.

  4. I have been a bridgestone fan for many years running them on both the pick up and the work van. They are good solid tires and while we do not get the same amount of snow you all do the snow we do get can be as much as 24 inches in a dump. The van will not push thru safely more than 13 inches but the 4x4 will go where I point it.

  5. If you are going to be without power and the temperatures in the house could reach freezing don't forget to winterize your house. Turn off the main water and open all of the faucets both hot and cold. If you have a drain valve or bleed on the main water valve open that also. Turn off the breaker to the water heater you can drain the heater if you want it is not likely to freeze over a day or two.. Flush the toilets and then add antifreeze to the tank and the bowls as well as the traps in the sinks. Finally dump a little in the dishwasher and the washer machine. This should try to keep you from having frozen pipes and slit pipes. If you have a question feel free to P.M. me I will answer them as quickly as I can.
