Personal opinion only, from a transplanted West Coaster who learned the hard way during the past 20+ years on the Prairies and who has 4 trucks, 2 each gas & diesel: Synthetic oil is better than dino, but thick syn isn't better than thin dino; ie 15-40 synthetic will produce harder starts than...
Hi Barnes, Wondering about the M113 avatar, I'm with 408 THS, wondering if you're based here too? I'm in search of a new beacon and yours is highly rated, if you still have it. I think there's a serious Canadian price gouge thing happening here though. My lawyer brother lives near Seattle and...

The Timmie's in Kandahar has a good deal for us, lot more prizes available than at the outlets back in Canada. Aside from the usual coffee & donuts, two of my crew have won Roots backpacks and two have won hats. No one's gotten $2500 yet but last tour one did get a laptop. Sucks a bit though for...
Hi Mach Z,
