  1. Thanks Drifter!

     

    The one from Norway is cool, but it doesn't show the daily lows!

     

    I'm very interested in the night time temps.

     

    If you click on long term and scroll down to the detailed long term forecast you will see it gives you projected temps at 6 hour intervals.

    You actually get 2 night time temps per day early (5PM-11PM) and late (11PM-5AM) as opposed to one low temp.

    You can actually see how fast the temp is actually going to drop. ;)

  2. I use 3 different sites to try and predict what our weather will be long term.

    Yes I know the last one is in Norway, but they are pretty accurate most of the time.

    ​I guess Norwegians have a lot of time to look at weather maps and stuff!!! :rofl2: :rofl2:

  3. Sorry but Ontario's power costing nearly as much as our power in the NWT is ridiculous!!!!

    With the tax base in Ontario the cost should be one of the lowest in the country instead of second highest in the country.

    You are being hosed by the liberals.

    They do after all have to pay for all of their spending don't they?

    There is a bearing service tool kit available, that allows you to replace a press in bearings with the steering knuckle still on the vehicle. Split the lower ball joint, pull the axle out of the hub; then using a slide hammer pull the hub out of the bearing. Now with this bearing kit you pull out and press in the replacement bearing.

    I have my own here at the shop, their a couple hundred to buy; but places like car quest or other part houses may have a tool loaner program for their customers to use.

     

    Dan.

     

    Yeah, only loaner place is CT here and I was under the gun to get my truck out of my buddies shop so he could do business again. ;)

    I still want a press though. :whistling:

  5. As Irish said it is a no no to burn any percentage of softwood in our wood stoves down here. No choice north because that is what they have. I cringe when I see these reality shows from the Yukon and Alaska where they cut down a pine, drag it to the cabin, cut and split it and burn it the next day. They must scrape creosote of the stack every week.

     

    It's mostly black spruce actually. ;)

    There are pockets of birch here and there though.

  6. I changed out a front bearing on my Honda Pilot a couple of years ago.

    What a pain in the butt that was!!! The bearing is actually pressed into the steering knuckle.

    Have to take the knuckle off and head over to a shop to get it pressed out and the new one pressed in.

    The part isn't expensive but there is a lot of labour to do the job.

    Specialty socket to remove half shaft nut.

    Much difficulty removing said nut. Axle stand two 1/2" extensions, 1/2" breaker bar and 6 foot pipe + 250# guy jumping on the pipe tor break the nut free. Torque to 250 ft lbs. when reinstalling.

  7. However as per Dave's buddy, that's a whole new game. Most you would hope would be tested on a dyno to ensure speed is as accurate as possible with that much change. Not a mechanic nor will I ever claim to be...

     

     

    Adjusting the speedo for tire size is now a simple setting in the on-board computer with a laptop on most new vehicles.

  8. ​Not hard to understand at all Cliff when you realize the instigators are all paid to cause trouble by George Soros.

    For instance the protesters in Austin Texas were all bused in to create havoc!!!

    These protesters are being gathered by the same people that did it during the election.

    ​It's all the doing of a billionaire globalist trying to cause a revolution in the US to get his way.

    We can only hope the evil old man croaks soon.
