  1. Just to clarify, the only hitch that requires no safety chains is a bonafide fifth wheel as in a semi. Class 8 big rig. A pickup with a gooseneck is not a fifth wheel. Use the safety chains or leave the trailer home.
  2. Looks good to me. Sizing is the biggest trick when ordering online.

    eBay

    If you post it here that you are bidding it will make searching easier. All I gotta do is watch ebay posts here to find what I need. With everyone else not bidding I will have an easier time. It's a great idea. Do it any way you wish, just be aware that not all bidders come her. It is also easy to use a shill bidder now with the bidder id kept confidential. You have to treat Ebay as an open auction just as any other auction. Know the value of the item, what you will pay and stick to that. To get a deal you need to find stuff that is listed wrong or misspelled as stated earlier. A properly listed item on Ebay will bring out bidders. Some just want it more than others.
  4. This may be part of the reason for the calls. A search engine to search all craig'slist for as far as you want to go out. http://www.searchtempest.com/ I got a call from Nebraska on some stuff I had listed.
  5. Sorry to say, but this is incorrect. The only hitch that needs no safety chains is a bonafide fifth wheel.
  6. Safety chains are required as per Federal law. If you don't want to use safety chains leave the trailer home. This subject was hashed over before. By doing a search you should be able to find it.
  7. A little humor there. Had to enter the number to find.
  8. Obviously you don't remember the Halloween blizzard of 1991. It shut everything down for the winter. The last snowfall we got that winter was memorial day. Buck up it will get better. I had mine on the street last weekend. Relax it is coming.
  9. Hang tough it will get easier. Been there and it takes time and I don't think the craving ever disappears completely. Good luck and may the Lord help you.
  10. How's the weather up there? I see all the schools are running late. I hope you didn't get iced in too bad. We just got a bunch of rain down here and it has stayed above the freezing point. How about all you other northern MN folk, how you doing?

    Just curious

    Kinda what I was thinking. The only toll (that I am aware of) we have in MN comes in the form of high speed driving awards.
  12. This one probably needs some briefs too.
  13. Just a coupla questions. Do you need donations to help pay for the pudding? Will the matches be broadcast? Is this gonna be an annual event?
  14. done today:mo money:
  15. Uknow, that way when someone says what a cute little dog, whats its name? You just say you know and confuse the the heck out of them.
  16. The site as a whole looks fine to me. The one thing I do notice is the font used in a couple of places is a little difficult to read. The part about the development is what I am referring to on the about us page. The letters kind run together. Just the way I see it. KURT .
  17. She has all of the nothings she really needs. Maybe I should get here a new vacuum cleaner.
  18. I bought a model fe-210 in August to have a small camera to use on the bike, or the atv. It has worked well for what I have used it for. The one thing I would like is to figure out how to have sound on the videos. My Kodak has sound so I may have to use that for video. Just a couple a pics from the ride in WI the second weekend of September with my sons. Oh yea thanks for sending the cold this way.
  19. As the old saying goes "When the days get longer the cold gets stronger" we are headed for the deep freeze. 22 degrees this morning, now just below 0. Snowed 4-5 inches and the wind is blowing now. In a blizzard warning till 3 pm tomorrow. We are definitely having a white Christmas this year. Ya better look out, cabin fever is coming on fast.

    Awareness

    A link to an interesting video. http://www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/test-your-awareness.html
  21. I have used a shop to rebuild turbo 350 and 400 and he won't mess with the newer electronic controlled transmissions. He recommends to get one from a reputable rebuilder. It has to do with the electronic things that he can't test. For what it is worth I would shop the GM dealers for the best price. They have a warranty program that covers parts and labor no matter who installed it. Good luck.
  22. I will only use kerosene in my torpedo or Knipco. These heaters will burn #1 or #2 fuel oil or diesel just fine. The reason I use only kerosene is the odor. They stink like h--- with fuel oil. It also can get hard to breath with that odor. When I was at home dad always bought #1 fuel oil for the Knipco. He used it to warm up a tractor or thaw a waterer outside and it was fine for that. I used it to work on my snowmobile in the garage. Big difference there. After a while the eyes would water and breathing was tougher. Another added bonus is the clothes you wore while doing the repairs would retain the odor for days if not hung outside. Spend the money on k1 kerosene or go to propane. Better yet install a hanging gas furnace that is vented out and just turn it on when needed.
  23. When I die, I would like to go quietly in my sleep as my grandfather did, not screaming like the passengers in his car.
  24. If it were any different it wouldn't be the same.
