Not heinous as most of the content. Maybe more along the lines of unethical good'ol'boy'ism…. I dig his excuse, lol.

In the only tournament I've fished judges took a DNA sample of the winners and match it to the Lake DNA strand, be pretty hard pull a cheat. When they are dangling a $16,000 Ice Castle for a prize they have to be paranoid.  

Wisconsin Anglers Convicted of Cheating in Fishing Tournament

 

 

 

 

State appeals court upholds fishing guide Michael Cefalu's felony fraud conviction. 

A judge has properly convicted a fishing guide for helping his client cheat in a Wisconsin salmon fishing tournament, a state appeals court ruled Tuesday. Guide Michael Cefalu took Orylynn Helt fishing during the Kewaunee/Door Salmon Tournament back in 2013. They were fishing for a prize of $10,000 cash and nearly $1,500 in various merchandise. 

The client, Helt, weighed in a 30.27-pound Chinook salmon at the tournament scales. The tournament director scanned the fish with a metal detector, which alerted him to the presence of metal inside of the salmon. Cefalu, the guide, was instructed to cut the fish open but he became evasive and told the tournament director he planned on mounting the fish. Eventually, he obliged and a 1-pound weight was found in the salmon's throat. 

Cefalu's excuse wasn't believable to anyone: The 30-year captain claimed the fish must have sucked the weight off the bottom of Lake Michigan.

Orylynn Helt was charged with misdemeanor attempted theft by fraud and was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Cefalu was ultimately charged with felony attempted theft by fraud, of property worth between $5,000 and $10,000. He was also ordered to pay a $2,500 fine.

terminology was wrong when they were saying the synchros were bad. the clutches were worn amongst other things. $5200 was the cost of the reman.

Terry, I recant of my harsh criticism, brotherman was just looking at the 6 worn engagement sides of the mainshaft sliders. BMT lesson- approach misinformation cautiously.

I might just try that.  I'm gonna go pick some right- oh, wait...guess i'll have to wait a few months, but i'll try it.

Never saw anyone try an “Ice Wine” version? Git’in through the snows a small sacrifice. 

I can only offer this.....while calling a few major outlets for aftermarket parts I asked each parts person the same question "What washers and dryers offer the best parts availability". I talked a few women and one man. The man was clueless as to any differences. The women all said "Whirlpool" without much time to think. One Gal said whirlpool will go back to the 80's.

We bought a $900 Speed Queen top load washer machine this past summer. I told the guy I don't care if its noisy, I don't care if it wasted water.   I just want it to last and get our cloth clean.  He said this is exactly what I want.   It is built good, it does use quite a bit of water, its not real noisy, but the peice of shit doesn't even get fresh mud out of cloth!

Is that similar to “commercial grade”, like you would see at the local laundromat? I’m shopping for what you thought you were getting.........simple, water sucking, low efficiency, semi-effective, repairable unit. 

$1,100 side load Kenmore I have died in 6 years, ECU burn-out. I diagnosed it and installed a new ECU. A code came onto screen that didn’t exist, even on-line. I called the company, lady said “did you install an ECU? That code means the other computers can’t communicate with new hardware, we have to come to your home and reprogram all three so it communicates”. Into the trash it went, sent new ECU home.

I don’t try to settle arguments on this site because they are too much fun to read, but I think most of what your arguing is generally true.

Volvo did commit murder to Mack, first killed its pride.  

Volvo is a good manufacturer, in a throw away world, or they would naturally dissolve. 

Our Volvo off-road is the lowest cost per hour machines we currently run. Partly because they are primitive. Are you aware they still use color coding in VOE? 100% color coded, candy stripe, wiring in my Volvo’s. It’s like 1970 all over. No ridiculous piles of white wires with microscopic ink numbering, that wipe off, which you can’t read anyway. LOVE IT!!!! XXXOOO-Volvo.

Toyota are phenomenal, William Deming was a genius. 

Old stuff is better in many ways(Class 8 and down). You shouldn’t have to live in fear of running out of warranty like we do now days. I drive all vehicles that have no tire pressure monitors and only one has ABS. I pulled the ABS fuse on my new(er) Dodge so I could actually stop in winter and it wouldn't start. I can’t stand being lead around by the nose, especially by an engineer. 

 It’s debateable......but believe modern lubricants applied to the six, seventh and eighth decades of the 20th century may have produced 200K-300K mile cars. 

Nobody would argue......”modern appliances Suck!”

There is only one individual I’ve met who sits at the outer rim of the Volvo inner circle. He told me every part being design engineered by Volvo is R&D’ed, tested, approved and passed to a second group of engineers who don’t design. That group of individuals take the design and predetermine the component lifespan against production cost and quality. They control the service life of components, quality of build materials and set production cost for the truck build. He advised Volvo has a reasonably good idea what your operating costs are going to be during the build. 

What I took out of the conversation was..... Volvo is a stacked-deck-dealer who only gets honest when He sees your going to walk away from the table. 

Low blood sugar Keg? Had an operator go low sugar one day and do that. Was just sitting there staring into space, confused.

I prefer to think your right, but consider the number 6. He dreamed up a synchro on each side of sliders.......

They replaced the trans and something was fixed cause he is driving it and liking it.... so good job? 

Test the running voltage at EUPs and compare with good cylinders. I lost an ecm and that is how we found it.

You should download and keep this, it is a free OEM Mack manual for that trans...Could help you understand the interior of trans.

Because the person you use is a crook or an idiot, possibly both .

Ours was bitter and don't remember much after the first cup full but we had none left and were all hung over for 2 days

Use to have a little club here, the Jenny Falls Corkmasters. We made wine and had get togethers to judge them. I decided to make Dandelion wine to spec. Could not have any stem milk in it because it's ultra-bitter, like you mentioned. Had to pinch only the yellow pedals off each head...….for hours.....till I had a cheese cloth bag full or yellow pedal fluff. Never did it again, but wow, it was good that way. Crystal clear with a light yellow tint.  

If your every really bored, pinch a bunch of the dandelion pedals, put in coffee filter, boil it, sweeten it and drink it hot. Whole new flavor you've never tasted and can't compare to anything you've had.

I've never seen those brands here. That's why we all use Krown. 

 

Does that stuff creep like Krown? And if you spray Krown on a wet piece of steel, the water will actually bead and roll off.

 

So don't know if it is any better but it's all I know and it has saved my vehicles. They have a de-salt wash now too. I get it done and it works really nice.

The chemicals they have on the roads here, and the amounts they put on are ridiculous. You literally have to keep stopping and using a liquid to clean your headlights because it is like a layer of cement on them.

 

Here's the stuff I use:

Never saw or heard of Krowns till this thread. I’ve tried a thinner Lanolin base, made by “fluid film”, but not as impressed with it. 

The Duty Master won’t creep, it will draw and pool, but not creep into fasteners as described. I also keep it off my wiring, can’t afford to experiment. 

10-4!

Ok thank

Stuff says you can apply to wet surfaces, but don’t. Fine if your spraying a wet gear once a week, like in a maintainence program. If you want it to stick well and last without a bunch of applications pressure wash and dry the surface.

How would this hold up in a marine environment say to coat a below deck aluminum fuel tank,any idea,I've heard of some people using coal tar with good success but this sounds better.

Don't know? You have a Lawson Dealer near you? I put in my order, Lance (salesman) submits it to be delivered to my house, arrives in 2 days (from Chicago) and I get a bill at end of the month.

There are multiple kinds and they are completely different. I tried three different brands. Lawson sells 2 dissimilar types, one thin and then the stuff pictured. Some like CRC Extreme Duty Open Gear and Chain Lube have the consistency of smooth butter with no real tack. Wasted a bill on it, not very good, rubs and washes off.
