Don’t overlook the tires themselves – just because they have tread doesn’t mean they are good. Pair of new tires is cheap insurance. Along with bearings. I can guarantee you those rigs weren’t on the side of the road because of brakes! But yes, a look over the braking system won’t hurt.
For the old guys on here, who else listened to the Cannon Mess? At the height of his popularity, it was the most listened to program in the entire country. I sure miss the barking dogs, Ma Linger, and Backlash Larue.
I didn’t tune it in, but the neighbor where I used to help milk cows had it on…
– I got the money!
That scene alone got me going on the whole series!
Was up with my 8th grade son – was a good day to shoot his PB 280!
It is pretty cool to look down a line of 50 targets and see the varying patterns, just due to kids starting out and those that are proficient at it. Also pretty neat that a kid gets to say he (or she!) shot at state, and the smile that goes with it, without having to necessarily be a crack shot!
I think about weird stuff all the time.
Right now I’m not sure if it’s “For Fu#k’s Sake” or “For Fu#k Sake.
It’s for a work email so I need it to sound professional.
In this case, “F” is a possessive noun, therefore the “sake” belongs to “F” – apostrophe S…
For F’s sake…
Ice is changing quick –
Was out last night and it looked like someone dumped a bag of solar crystal softener salt around each hole. The ice drilled in large crystals and shards instead of shavings…
Couple more sunny windy days and it’ll be over fast…
I think either would work –
Don’t overthink it – you’re replacing a block of wood…
Sorry for your loss, Randy.
What a whirlwind mix of emotions you must be going through.
As stated before, you’re a good man for doing this – not sure many others could make the kind of commitment you described in your initial post.
California has the same. A rail line that’s Billions over budget and nowhere near completion. I think it’s a money washing machine

Have done the dogs on Devils…
Told my brother to drop me off at the grocery store to get them. He just about sh!t when I came out with the “yard-o-beef” Told him I ain’t after hammer handles!
Went good with the chunk of cheese also in the bag – along with the corn kings…
As was mentioned somewhere earlier in the thread – how can any of this (control of AIS) be taken seriously when trailers and lifts are made of tubing? Is this being rinsed out? I’m sure no shredded vegetation or small critters get stuck in them…
Whatever brand you end up with, make sure to get load range D rated tires. They cost a little more, but squat less (less heat = less worries about a blowout)
They also typically have a higher speed rating.
I bet over half the guys sitting on the side of the freeway are running load range C tires with a speed rating lower than the posted speed limit.
My bet is most don’t know trailer tires take higher pressure than their truck tires = sidewall flex and blowout.
Had a coworker tell me he blew a tire. Asked if he checked pressure. “Every time before I leave – 35psi”. He saw me cringe and ask why. Told him I bet they’re supposed to be at least 60. He had his boat and trailer in the lot. He checked and almost turned white.
Measured nearly 4′ on LOW in March about 6 years ago…
Was like fishing in a stovepipe. Buddy caught a huge northern – asked if I had a gaff – not 6′ long! Just couldn’t get it’d head up the hole before the line snapped on the edge of the ice.
USAID – I am guessing that they provide funding of value somewhere but some of the spending is surely BS.
Even the mob had a legit front when they were doing their thing…
Go Italian. Scampi. Shallow dish, heavy garlic, onion, lemon, butter, white wine. Finish on broil.
Serve with some pasta and a salad.
Take this one step more and add some shrimp over the top. It’s what I do when I need to stretch out the protein and the wife and kids nearly prefer it over fried.
You do the same thing with a hot bite as you’d do a hot date –
Stay on ‘er!
The title says it all –
The pain of loss you feel is equal to the love you had for person – I mean bucket…
The tariffs will be on the wholesale cost of the product – not directly on the retail. If you’re importing items for $5 and selling for $15, now your import cost goes to $6 – how much of that do you need to pass on?
Maybe all of it to criticize the current administration…
Whereas those who cry for the evil corporations to pay their “fair share” – I gotta believe 100% of that will be passed on because that’s on the retail income – cutting into the bottom line harder than a tariff.
Better off / easier just to buy one. Many will be priced to move soon…
I’ve bought them online and showed a screenshot of it. Just have it handy. The CO said they don’t want to wait for someone to go through a gallery searching for it.

Being an ex farm kid – it doesn’t end with just hardware…
It’s the one trait I inherited I wish I could kick. Matter of fact, I just put a new break away trailer brake cable on a trailer 15 min ago, thinking, huh – I better hold on to this, might be useful someday…
…and they worry about the kids and plagiarized reports! The AI thinks you’re pretty good, apparently!
Finny – what are you getting for milage? As advertised? I’m considering one for the next truck, and have heard/read varying degrees of satisfaction with the milage. Both as to what they claim they get, and once you start towing…
Pretty deep area – usually considered deeper water to be the “safer” route. I’d expect springs to be more of an issue shallow, but I guess any water movement – even swirling fish – can and will thin the ice…

As far as keeping minnows alive during a city water change- add a splash of prime. Used in aquariums to condition water – works the same for bait bucket water. Small splash in 5 gal pail of water in garage to acclimate to temp overnight, switch water – no problems…

Wisconsin fish finders –
Psychics. Why aren’t they constantly winning the lottery or in sports books?
Or calling me so i could say “how did you know?”

Shut the screen – you’ll let the skeeters in!
That’s about as outdoors as it gets!
