But, the quetion remains why are the enviro warriors not targeting coal buring plants the same as the oil/gas? How many recent media publications are talking about acid rain or coal buring? It's all about oilsands and ducks...
The industry with the largest target painted for the environmentalists is oil/gas. Like modman pointed out, many other industries contribute to the environmental challenges, but the activists don't seem to say much. You don't hear about the coal fired steel plants spewing the polution and...
For real?
There are not very many jobs in this province that aren't tied to the oil/gas industry in some way. Without this industry, Alberta would be like...the maritimes when the fishing industry died. Fun times for sure. Why do you think Stelmach quietly adjusted the royalties recently...
I have driven to Phoenix and back on several occasions. Total cost of food, fuel, hotel runs about $1,000.00 round trip. It can be done for less.
Total driving time one way is approx 24 hours with good weather.
I'm not going to discuss brands, but before you jump into the purchase understand diesels are expensive to fix and maintain. ex: $150 oil change for a diesel and $50 for gassers if you don't do it yourself. They don't do well with short trips and you have to put on big miles to justify the...
Great thought to keep the "kin" from findin' ya. No doubt winning some $ and you'll find a whole bunch of family ya never knew about.
I'd give some away to family, friends etc, get a bit spendy on toys and a nice place to keep them. The thing is, 5 mill doesn't go too far these days.
Buy a...
Here's what I learned in the housing market in Phoenix (just got back last night from a little trip down there with the family).
1. find a good realtor with experience in forclosures. Some don't have a clue.
2. learn the costs/benefits of purchasing a bank owned, pre-forclosure and a short...
From my experiences, bringing a motor vehicle across has more hoops. Trailers and motorized toys are easier.
Brought a used boat across. They didn't care about the boat, only the trailer it sits on. Made me laugh when Canada Customs said that.
I have both a 2000 7.3 and '07 6.0.
So far, I can't complain about the 6.0. I know about the EGR and head gasket troubles, but I have no plans on adding a tuner or other mods to the 6.0 (yet) so I'm not too concerned. I've read all the horror stories about this engine, but I've also heard...
Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ on my F350. 10,000km on so far and I like them. A bit of road noise but I usually can't hear it over the wifeypoo's yackity yack:realmad:
I find the treads pick up stones and toss them off at higher speeds. Not so good for tailgaters.
Can't tell ya about the mud...
