  1. Wow, you had 4 channels, we only had 3 on the farm in Mb, and one came in real fuzzy.
  2. Agreed. It happened with TV and it was bound to happen with the internet.
  3. The exact same for me. Been retired for 5 and a half years now. No regrets.
  4. I've found through the years, that when buying batteries, you usually get what you pay for.
  5. I've had a Lund soft trifold on my 05 Silverado for 9 years. No problems and still looks and works great.
  6. Going through top ends? Usually means a lean mixture. Check your main jet size. Also could be air leaks from a cracked carb boot or a leaking crank seal.
  7. If it's a crank seal, it's usually on the clutch side that is shot. A little ether sprayed around the seal area while the engine is idling will let you know if it's sucking air in. The idle will pick up considerably. If the seals good, check compression. Remove both plugs and connect the tester to one cylinder. Hold the throttle wide open and pull over at least 5 times. Compression should be at least 110 PSI or better. Repeat on the other cylinder. A good carb cleaning/rebuild can also improve or cure starting issues.
  8. 2007 570 Panther. Thinking of trading up to a Yamaha Viking RS Professional this year.
  9. Instead of watching bowling, you watch one of these lew
  10. Do you really think they care how much it costs to administer? They have and endless supply of our money at their disposal. Don't mention efficiencies, that's just silly talk. Oh, and as far as accountability goes, they got a majority for being crooks, so that's out the window too.
  11. Sounds more like you have a charging issue not a battery issue to me. Throw a volt meter on the alternator and check the output. Should be about 13.5 volts at idle.
  12. Reading the rational put forward by the MNR for this increase is an interesting look into how the minds and accounting abilities of government bureaucrats work or, doesn't. While the SPA may be solely funded from licenses, permits and fee's issued for hunting and fishing activities, these are not the only revenue streams that generate dollars for the provincial government from these activities. The provincial government also receives revenues related to hunting and fishing through taxes on goods and services such as sales tax, income tax and business taxes relating to these activities, but of course, all this money ends up in general revenue accounts to be wasted on things like MaRs, Ornge, gas plants etc. For those that say "it's only $2" and "Living within your means applies to everyone, including seniors on pensions." should remember that this isn't the first $2. There has been many $2 preceding it, and many future $2 to come. That "living within your means" should apply to government as well. Many governments, especially this current provincial government, show a decided lack of respect for tax payers money and an addiction to just keep on going to the well for more.
  13. Have had this for 7 years. No complaints yet.
  14. It's always hard to watch the younger generation get sucked in by the same lies the previous generations where sucked in by
  15. Unsecured ballast, luggage etc. is a potential killer at anytime. Unfortunately, many people don't think of it at the time.
