Just some thing i thought i'd share for in this thread ,,,,,, Back in our do da days , the early 80's my brother and i became interested in dirt track stock car raceing and went to work on building a car that we raced . We did'nt have much money back then but we pooled it together and were able to buy a new 110 Miller Crickit XL that used welding gas AND 023. wire , thease things were new and just out at the time and it cost us 1200 , i guess it was the best money would buy then . Any how we built the car and all the welding was done with our 110 welder , once it was completed we were off to the Cornwall Speedway in eastern Ont . Ha ... raceing is no differant then any thing eles in life and there too the new guy is gona take a pounding til he learns every thing he needs to know . We both knew that and wounderd if the car would stay together because we had welded it with 110 instead of a 220 welder . Out on the track At Cornwall each time it took its hits and to our amasment it stayed together and did'nt break . Later in the season while still having a blast and thinking we were knowing our stuff we decided to go over to the States one night and race at the Mohawk Raceway , , what we learned over there was , you don't try to win , thats right you don't try to win , and if yrou do our good native freinds there have a way of fixing it so you dont and in such away that you wont want to come back and try it again ..... , our good freinds boxed the car in on the back side of the track and sent us over the enbankment where to car went end over end at least eight times putting us out of the race for the night ,,,,,, and still after all that none of the welds broke , we still have that little welder in the shop today and it still works perfectly .

I have a 110 & 220 , i like them both , with the 110 keep the power cord as short as you can and you'l weld up to 1/4" all day .With 110 welders buy the one that will allow you to add the bottle of gas , this will make for the best welds you can make with a 110 machine .

Bell gave me this Micheal for 50.00 bucks a month , i did say if the bill was going to be differant each month based on my useage for each month i did'nt want it , they said it would'nt change and will remain the same for as long as i have it . Now it's time for me to go figure out just what the GPS can do for me ......... lol , Thanks every one for your input .Maybe i should post up a pic of what this thing looks like ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, -

Skipper D replied to Skipper D's topic in General Discussion
I think there might be a bit of confushion here realy as to what i have , i hope not but its some thing new just out by Bell they told me in the last few weeks , its not a cell phone and has notthing to do with my cell phone , it dose have GPS , now remeber i am dum when it comes to this new stuff , in my paper work that came with it they are calling it a Turbo Hub which gives me up to 15GB , looks just like a cell phone but you can't do any thing with it other then turn it on & off , theres no wires to any thing , once turn on it gives you wire less hi speed internet , it in ables GPS with my lap top and will pick up the unit where ever i move it to , i'll keep playing with it a maybe later i can better explain it better . -
