Drove up to little smoky and back yesterday. Fairly clear going up, on the way back was another story. Massive smoke clouds on the east side of 43 just north of Fox Creek on the way back. Didn’t look too far off the highway either. Scary stuff for sure. Stay safe everyone.

Just to the south of us there’s several subdivisions that have been evacuated. Not very far from my place (roughly 10k). Hopefully the wind calms down and they can get it under control.

Bingo, between lack of training and lack of pride in workmanship, there's bound to be screwups regularly. That and some people just aren't cut out to work on vehicles.
I took my 2022 duramax into the dealer for its first oil change recently (Dealer "throws in" 2 free oil changes when you buy a...
I'm on a pause for sledding, the cost increases on everything plus a young family make it nearly impossible to do. Sold my T3 a while back, and while I would love a new G5, the $24K tag plus $1000+/weekend riding is a no go for me. It sucks but the days of 10K sleds and cheap...
I've been running Starlink for our shop/office for the last month or so. Super impressed with the download and upload speeds compared to Xplornet. Went from 10MBps download to 130Mbps. Unreal. And cheaper per month too.
Remember when Hawaii got an emergency alert for a inbound ICBM that turned out to be a false alarm because someone hit the wrong button? Scary to think it happened and with the world going the way it is, it could be a reality, yikes. $5 says the person that sent out that alert got a promotion...
Never had to tow my sled off the mountain but I did have a buddy grenade the diamond drive on his M8 way back in Allen a number of years ago. We towed it as far as we could but the snow and hills were so packed and icy he ended up having it choppered off the next day. Some dickhead decided to...
How many people out there are sweating bullets to make their mortgage payment after all the rate hikes? A lot of people were overextended when rates were low.... I saw the writing on the wall when it came time to renew my mortgage in the fall of 2021. My banker asked me what I wanted to do, I...
Not far off Finning or SMS numbers. Isn’t JD in a lawsuit over a “right to repair”? They make their equipment so proprietary that only the dealer can repair them (on the electronic side)

As an construction equipment guy, I’ve never understood why the ag manufacturers insist on making their gear painful to work on for large repairs. It’s neat to see someone taking the mining equipment mentality and applying it in other industries. Keep it relatively simple with the ability to...
Ditto. My dad had an 01 Mountain Cat 600EFI that started doing exactly this. Would run, then die, wouldn't start unless fuel was dumped down the cylinders. Ended up being something in the stator was intermittently failing even though it tested good by service manual specs. We pulled our...
My one contract mechanic I have working for me is supposed to be going to cancun on Wednesday. He’s not so sure he wants to go there now. I told him I can turn the heat up in the shop and hire a miriachi band if he wants to stay home[emoji23]
