  1. When I worked for EZ Loader building boat trailers we built both types, only problem I ever saw with the oil filled ones was caps getting broken when people hit something. Never did see one come back with a blown seal. Greese filled; as Tybo said over fill, blow the seal. As far as converting from one to the other, you have to change the hubs either way.
  2. I spent a lot of hours researching all sorts of deer repellents including several types desigined to go on your car. Save your money, they don't work!!!! As far as the wind tunnle is concerned, not quite the same but...... (I don't know if this is true or not) While testing the nose cones on some aircraft to see how they would stand up to bird impacts, someone came up with the bright idea of propelling the bird at the nose of the aircraft so they could study the results so they built a "chicken canon" (sort of like the one on Canadian Air Farce) It was working well until some animal rights types got involved and they had to stop using live chickens. So someone went to the supermarket and bought some frozen ones. Problem, These were real aircraft nose cones on real airplanes that they were testing on and frozen chickens act very differently on impact than unfrozen ones. Yup, right through the nose cone and took out a whole bunch of electronics. Thawed chickens apparently worked much better until one day, someone loaded the canon and they all went to lunch, when they came back they decided it was time to fire the canon.... seems that one of the cats that hung around the hanger had decided to have lunch too. From what I understand, it wasn't a very nice sight!
  3. I always love your work Jack! You sure have tallent!
  4. Sounds like he left behind a good legacy! Do your best to make him proud everyday because he is still here in spirit. My condolences!
  5. Just when I needed a good laugh!
  6. Excellent post BITEME! Every time I look out my window and see the Canadian flag flying high and proud I thank all those that have, and do, serve to make Canada what it is today! God bless them all!
  7. Oh I think he should be hung alright but not by the neck! Make that noose out of snare wire Sam! What I would really like to see though is him be sent over there to serve a tour of duty with our boys. We'd see how brave he was then!
  8. Sounds like a win win situation to me! Nice work Headhunter and Good Luck with the job Gerritt. Ahhhh, the power of OFC!
  9. terry, that is one of the best reports I think I have ever seen! As you know (or might remember) I bought one of those Aquaview cameras last year, still haven't had a chance to really try it out but after watching that video I am going to get it all rigged up to go very first chance I get. Thanks again for the report! Big Cliff
  10. Keepng my fingers crossed and saying a prayer! Please keep us posted and let me know if there is anything I can do to help!
  11. That does sound like a lot of water but I am no battery expert. I'd try sending an email to the battery Mfg. and see what thay say.
  12. I have the 'fishermans solution from Cutco as well". Now, I have had problems with the blade lock on it but it has a life time warrenty and I am on my sixth knife in about 15 years. Super knife, and I really love it but there isn't anything wrong with the Rapalas either and they are a lot less money!
  13. I know how much you care for all around you and how hard you try to take care of everyone! He was your friend and he loved and trusted you to do the best thing for him. You didn't let him down! Bury him in your heart forever because it is the very best place to bury a good dog!
  14. You really have to wonder why someone would take the chance to; kill a dear out of season, (like nipissing said, years ago if your family was hungry, no one worried about seasons) and then dump the carcus where it is likely to be found.
  15. I wonder if he'd like a nice B&B to stay at in the Kawarthas
  16. Well, I have known Roy for years and I have never known him to laugh AT anyone. Clampet, I have met you, I have watched a number of your posts, I respect you, but I think you don't know Roy like I know Roy! Unitil I hear it from Roy himself I choose to believe that a person that I know asked for help and the only thing that bothers me at this point is that I wasn't there when he needed me. I'll hold that thought until I know differently!
  17. Use what you have learned to help others! Nothing wrong with that! By the way; the only people that don't make mistakes are the ones that don't do anything!
  18. I think it might already be closed!
  19. When I first moved into this place I wanted to install central air because of Sue's health problems. DE had a special advertised so I contacted them and a sales person came out to see us. He quoted us on a system and as a bonus, we were going to get Airmiles too and we didn't even have to pay for a year (no additional cost). (Oh ya, and after we signed up , we found out that the air miles program had expired so we didn't qualify) The system was installed in July and it worked fine. In the fall, we had an inspection done by the company that supplied our propane, turned out the central air system was installed within 5' of the propane tanks (apparantly a real no no). So I tried to contact DE. I went to their office on no less than 5 occasions ( it was about 200' from my office) the service manager was never available, and he never did return any of my phone calle. I called their customer service on numerous occasions, couldn't get anywhere there either. Finally called their billling Dept.. It was by then almost time to pay the bill. I explained the situation and told them I wouldn't be paying until the situation was corrected. I got a very polite letter from a young lady there telling me that "they were sorry for the inconvenience and would give me one free maintainance inspection for my trouble". By then I was really unhappy (ticked off) and told them to come and get the system, they declined but sent me a letter offering their "solution", no return address! so I called them back and explained to the lady on the phone that I had received a very nice letter from[wahtever her name was] and wanted to send a letter of thanks and copy here supervisor because she had been so helpful. I got a return address To which I promptly forwarded a notice to remove their equipment or I would have it removed at their expense and notify (can't remember the name of the regulatory board) of their infraction. Their equipment got removed two days before the deadline and I had the exact same model installed by a local contractor the next day for $700.00 less and done to code. me and DE=
  20. All you have to do is look at Hydro One to see the way things are done here in Canada. Spend thousands on your secratary's corporate credit card and get a $3,000,000.00 severance package. We need a smily face doing the one finger salute! (With a rubber glove on it)
  21. I don't buy it! I don't know what happened but Roy doesn't cry wolf and he doesn't sucker anyone into anything.
  22. I'm here, but I have no idea how to get into 'Chat". every time I try it wants me to download some software. Roy, if you are up and still need to talk,
  23. For your sake and the sake of your family, keep up the good work! I hold the worlds record for most times trying to quit (I wasn't very good at it). My wife looked at me once and asked why I kept putting myself through it and I replied " if I keep trying, one of these days I'll get it right!" Can't even remember how many years ago that was.
