Garmin’s mapping has been very poor, in my experience. I had switched all my units over to Garmin 2 years ago and dumped them all except a dedicated Livescope unit after their maps were so bad. I updated and bought what I could, and the maps still sucked.
I didn’t realize they didn’t sell it anymore. I guess that makes more sense to not carry parts for an item no longer sold.
Thanks for the link to the Yamaha latch. HOpefully that’ll work for me.
I gave them a call this morning. Their best suggestion was to go to a hardware store and find something that might work. Not the most impressive response as far as I’m concerned. Was pretty disappointed. I get it; probably not a daily need for them, but if anything is going bad on the caddy, it’ll be the latch. I can’t believe they don’t have replacements for them.
Ask for a warranty claim on your battery.
I get mine at the pump the majority of the time.
I generally do as well, but at -20F, the pumps were down at three different truck stops.
Why can’t I find Striker on the Thorne Bros website?
I use the CMap from Lowrance app. I find it to be really close.
Try googling Pomona banana jack. That’s going to give you lots of choices.
Thanks!

I can tell you that a Agent has no control over premiums or their commission rates at all. Sure wish they did. A agent doesn’t like it when rates go up any more than you do. As far as commissions goes, most agents commissions have gone down in the last 5 or so years.FT I believe you and I appreciate you commenting since you are in the field and was hoping you would reply.
How do you explain the specific example I got with Progressive where my son went to the website and I went through my agent and quoted me something significantly higher for exact same coverage? The ONLY difference is one was through an agent.
I can tell you that Progressive Direct (website or phone call to Progressive) charges less to the customer than going through an independent agent. Why do you think that is? No commission paid out to an independent agent. I can also tell you that your likelihood of having poor coverage and claims service is much greater going through Porgressive Direct than through and independent agent.
The shop floor at our new place sweats. Not sure if the floor doesn’t have a vapor barrier or if it’s from the micro climate we live in, or both. It’s very common to have dense fog all day in the summer with NE winds from the lake.
The humidity in the shop got so bad that some fabrics on certain gear started to grow mold (the seats on my Otter shacks, various backpacks, clothing, etc). Some did textiles were fine, while others weren’t.
Fans and opening windows on nice days helped some, but overall the humidity was still too high (70%+)
A few weeks ago I plugged in a portable dehumidifier in the middle of the shop and have it ran into the floor drain. It completely cured my problem. It cycles on and off as needed and keeps the shop at a consistent 55%
No more damp floors or mold.
Nice. Might have to do the same. Wish I had a floor drain.

Garage ceiling fans are extremely underrated. You can find decent cheap ones at Menards and they make a huge difference both with humidity/condensation and then in the winter circulating heat down to the floor. I can’t remember the last time ours were turned off.
I was definitely thinking about that. Thanks for confirming.
From radco I got the radco branded topper which is actually made by leer but much cheaper. Not sure why. I have the side windoors with sliding windows and screens. Interior light and the carpeted ceiling. No complaints it’s a great topper. Basically what you are looking at but radco branded instead of leer. The front sliding window does rattle though which is annoying but should be easy fix.
How recently did you get it? Mind sharing what your bill was?
Some companies are definitely more friendly to youthful drivers than others. 3.0 GPA definitely helps. Having 3 vehicles and 3 drivers, I’m not terribly surprised by that rate jump. But it still may be to your benefit to check with other companies.
Keep a high limit of liability. Your Uninsured/Under Insured coverage will mirror that. I’ll tell you that should the time ever happen when you need it, you won’t regret having paid for it. And let’s home none of us here ever do need those higher limits.
AAA Insurance can be friendly to youthful, as can Safeco, Travelers, and Progressive. The first three have really tightened up Underwriting and are requiring all policies to package home and auto together. But it can be worth checking.
Nice. We’re heading there Sunday if it’s not raining. Shouldn’t have to worry much about dust, I’m assuming.
I’ve ordered a solenoid and will replace that this week once it arrives. Thanks, fellas.
So is the solenoid separate from the starter? I’m on my second starter doing the same thing.
Flex Seal clear tape is all you need.

With the move from Phoenix to Salt Lake City, is the hockey team there still going to be the Coyotes or are they going to come up with a completely new name?
Salt Lake City Coyotes? Utah Coyotes? Or something else?
Salt Lake Stormin’ Mormons
I have a 21 AT4 with the Babymax. Love it. Just went over 100,000 miles. Not sure on this belt change. My dealership said nothing about that for the 100,000 mile service. I get 22-23 mpg around town. About the same driving 85 to Montana. If I keep it under 75, I can get 26 mpg. Towing 4 atvs across North Dakota and Montana at 85, I get 10-12 mpg. 14 mpg towing my 18′ Larson to LOTW.
I had a 21 Trail Boss with the 6.2 for about 4 months. 13 mpg around town. 15 mpg at 85. 8-9 mpg towing 4 atvs at 85. 10 mpg towing my 18′ Larson to LOTW. I put 4000 miles on it, and the lifters went out. My previous 5.3 had the lifters go at 50,000 miles as well. I don’t trust the GM gassers anymore.
I spoke with my buddy this week who is service manager at a large local metro Chevrolet dealership asking him if he’d steer me to a Babymax or 6.2. He said he plans on his next vehicle being a Babymax. Less problems than the 6.2.
There’s my 2 cents
Polaris Ride Command and OnX Offroad are the best I’ve found in the MN/WI area for roads and trails. And being on your phone is a plus as well. I ride with mine on my ATV handlebars. Works great.
Is there a nickname for Marat Khusnutdinov yet? I sure as heck can’t say his name.
Mario Kart?
KOOS Koos?
The only good thing about a push for the playoffs is more playoff experience for our young players. They talk about how important prior playoff experience is for success in the playoffs. Even losing experience is better than no experience.
My deer stand I built last fall…. I “painted” it myself. Them days may soon be gone… hopefully before I have to re-stain the cabin this summer…
This got me thinking…I wonder if the authors of the bill have a big honey-do list that includes staining their homes, and if it’s illegal for them to buy and apply the stain to their home, they’re off the hook and can hire it out.
that’s a really good letter, Umy.
How are some of the women gonna get ready in the morning??
This is why I made the post!! Haha!
My Shimano siennas the black and red ones suck. They definitely are not the same as they used to be.
100%
So are they going to pull electrical items off the shelf and make them only available to licensed contractors? Take auto parts out of NAPA and only allow licensed mechanics to work on cars?
Hopefully tonight is the last game we see Merrill, they gotta try Chisholm soon…

I don’t want to go under the radar and screw up my border crossings. We go up 4 – 6 times per year. Last thing I need is a cavity search.
