    Broken InReach Screen

    Went through the same a year or two ago. Note that your device is DeLorme. Prior to Garmin buying them out. Garmin’s offer to trade it out is a reasonable compromise. I got the same unit back, not an upgrade to Garmin, so if I break it again, still no repair available. You might be better to...

    Can you fly a Plane????????

    Good to see you’re actually going for it. I started in 1999. Haven’t stopped. I fly about 100 hours/yr. I've owned and flown a Cessna 182, Cessna T210L, Beech Skipper, Cessna 172K, and now a Cessna 185 with wheels and amphibious floats. Started flying skis last year. Now when I drive by the...

    Black iron pipe, threaded

    I used PEX water pipe for airlines in my shop. No problems after 10 years. Cheap and easy. Black pipe is cheap. For a run that long, 1” sounds too small. Check the code. Might be on line. You need to know BTU rating of each appliance on the line.

    Whats wrong with truckers?

    I don't think it's as profound as they say. Figures don't lie, but liars figure. That said, all my trucks are speed limited. 105 kph. My pickups are also set with the Ford mykey system to not exceed 130 kph. Warnings at 105 kph. If I could, I'd limit them to 110, but that's not an option...

    Whats wrong with truckers?

    Driver pay is a huge issue. It's a delicate balance between what we can pay and the brains and skill we need. I pay by the hour, even on runs as far as Texas. It's kicking my butt. Shippers pay to get product moved. When I'm paying a driver and the truck isn't moving, I'm feeling financial...

    Whats wrong with truckers?

    I support my motorsports habits with a trucking business. I'm mostly in agreement with Stompin Tom on this. I drove for years. Edmonton-Prince Rupert for one memorable year. Lots of Alberta and NE BC. Now I try to manage my fleet with 20 employees. No easy answers. That we we don't have a...
