    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    Most of those are corp pullbacks from other dealers. They bought those with about 40% discount. There is a limited number of those sleds available. If you go for one, check on warranty.

    What Will You Be Riding this Winter

    I clanged out a whole bunch of coin on a new 858 RXC for the next season. The interesting part of the thread title is "Riding and Winter". I sure hope the season isn't like last winter. Riding was a challenge. It was more like riding for about one week vs. all winter. @gary_in_neenah , I like...

    Propane price?

    Corn driers didn't use much around our area. Some of the Co Ops are crammed with inventory. I wonder if that will carry over to the better pricing?

    woodys navigator/dooly opinions

    @euphoric1 , Are you thinking about these for the Catalyst? They have a much different steering feel and use ski pressure different compared to previous models. In some ways I'd describe the effort like Twin Spar with steering bite that actually works. Might be worth trying your typical setup...

    Ever Heard of the Corn Sweats?

    It's interesting that we start hearing about this now. There is a lot of new science aimed at trying to measure and determine how plants use water. Much of that research is aimed toward effective plant selection for an environment. (Irrigation or natural rainfall), Many parts of the world...

    Refrigerator help

    Something doesn't sound right. That is a crazy failure rate. I know clean power is a big deal with some stuff. I can't imagine that you are getting that much dirty power, but board failures sure suggest that may be an issue. Have they all been board failures? I don't feel comfortable saying...

    When is best time to run a dehumidifier?

    70% humidity spells problems unless you're trying to grow mold. It's less work to control humidity than fixing mold problems. Running AC and dehumidifier on temp cycles isn't going to get much done. If the space has been at 70% for any time all the material in the space is at that moisture...

    New Copper mine might be coming to the Porcupine Mountains

    I wonder if it will happen. Those guys have been doing bore samples for over a decade. I've yapped with a few of them over the years and they say the samples show good product but it's deep. Their early speculation was shaft mining. They also mentioned that copper isn't the only material...

    Stain on walls: what is it?

    @LoveMyDobe , Those marks look like plain ol water stains. I'd also say that if nothing has changed in four years that's good news. Must have been a lot of water coming in at the time if it leaked through all the joints. Mold is a whole other issue. It essentially grows like a patch of weeds...

    Stain on walls: what is it?

    Free air movement helps a lot. Closet corners are notorious for being the first spots to have mold in high humidity.

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    I've also done that bearing. The small screwdriver works great. It helps to have a small angle pick to sneak around the seal when you start. That will make it easier to start the screwdriver blade. I like using a needle tip on the gun and squirt grease inside the bearing. Just a heads...

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    Weight pins are into the sheave assembly. Those are cake compared to working on the spider. It is not a small project if you go that deep into a rebuild. 8,000 miles are a lot, but you never know. I'd check your rollers before deciding on anything. If the rollers are good, check slop in the...

    Stain on walls: what is it?

    It doesn't look good. Is that bleed through staining? I'm guessing it does not wash off. You mentioned 40% humidity and 60 degree indoor temps in the door thread. That is high humidity with cold outdoor temps. Do you have the same temp humidity in the rooms with mold? How much condensation...

    Clutch maintenance - worn parts

    There isn't a whole lot you easily can rebuild on the Team clutch. Weights and springs are the basic parts that can be swapped. Tower buttons aren't too bad. There are kits on the market that include a full set of bushings, pins, and buttons. I would stick to anything spider related. Even...

    Last year vs This year

    What a difference a year makes. This was near Bergland on the 18th of March. The hill behind sleds is not a hill. I can't tell you what it looks like this year. I know there is no "hill" from parking lot snow.

    Grooming history

    I don't know the exact time frame but Gene at Bingos and Jerry at Vansville talked about the same methods. Old barrels rigged as rollers and dirt field drags were used. Main goals were trying to pack a little and fill in the holes. They didn't use the term grooming. They talked about trying...

    Sunsets

    Took a break from snow hoping and visited some friends. They live on the dry side so sunsets were pretty decent. Didn't see the green flash. Honestly, we had to be on our toes while sun was dropping over the edge. ;) It happens pretty fast with sun angle.

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Great idea with the flooring. It sounds like one of those better products that is super wear resistant. I have one area that looks like a similar product. I believe they called it Duraceramic, I know it's tough. You will enjoy the working surface and easy cleanup. I don't have scraps of...
