Hey Mike. Did that protest ever happen in your area? I even posted asking where you were and I think that’s the last time we heard from ya. I thought maybe you were carried off and converted to a hipster 😂

SLI65XM

I know the gel batteries, but I'll pay $500 for a shot gun but not batteries. Can I get by with this? It says maintenance free.
Mine are fine, no issues, I must be the only one however im going to replace the stockers anyway

What say the hive?
costco group 65 batteries by interstate are only $95 each.
i get at least 5 years out of them in my plow trucks. the one in the 04 is 8 years old, and the one in the 14 is 4 years old that i know of.

Damn Bow tie, when I was 24 i was working 84hrs per week. At 26, I was constantly over over 300hrs per month. A bad month was 200hrs. Cry babies.

I feel greasy (greasy stick man opening for Matt) I need to shower and clean up. More on the greasy stuff tomorrow in tech. 👍
Glad you made it back safely, Teddy. Sucks that you got hurt, but you wouldn't have stood a fair chance against the bears all gimped up anyway.
Like you and most everyone here, I was all about working as much as I could. If OT was available, I would be the first one to volunteer. Hell, even when I was on salary as a manager, I was the first one there and last one to leave. My wife's the same way , even though she wasn't paid hourly. We tried to instill that in our kids and thankfully I think it was successful.
Stir some stuff up, it was kind of quiet here yesterday.

Morning fellas. Did any of you happen to get the license plate of the truck that hit me in my sleep? 😂

I saw the biggest F’n wolf yesterday. About 100km into the trip I thought there was a bear standing on the side of the highway. I slow down and as I approach this bear crosses the road in front of me. As I get closer, it’s a dang wolf. A huge wolf. The top of his head would of been at the drivers window height and I bet he weighed 250. I’ve seen wolves up there but nothing the size of this guy.

Not posting my story in tech. It has regen info and I’m not going there again.

Edit: More on the wolf after some research. The biggest recorded wolf hunted in the area is 230lbs. This was about the size of wolf I saw. Not my pic. The wildlife site said the biggest wolves are the grey wolf and can weigh up to 130lbs. That doesn’t explain this record 230 pound bad boy. Pic below is a grey wolf.

There is a group of liberal nutjobs that want to introduce the Canadian Grey Wolf into Colorado. Hello? It's not even native to CO. What a stupid idea.

I agree. I don’t understand when all these people want to go against nature's will. Endangered species....... ok, help them out but to introduce a foreign species to a new area, that could be asking for trouble. Maybe the wolf would strive in the area, become heavily overpopulated and end up taking over Colorado. Now as a resident, you won’t only have to worry about Canadian geese attacks. 😂
