That's not fair - he bought it late in the season - October I think and it took damn near a month to register it and get the trailer set up to Canadian standard. I believe he took it out a couple of times in freezing weather before he put it away. |

Oh yeah, I never figured out how 8 "bits" could equal $1.00 either... We will all try to put your mind at ease: With the fans, the car is a DC motor and the window is AC. Starting torque is different. As for the bits ..... isn't 2 "bits" a quarter? But you can take a window fan and set it on "low" , plug it in, and it starts up jjust fine, though... True, but it's not particularly good for the motor. Ideally, it should start up on "high" to give max torque using all the windings of the motor. Then, it can be turned down. Not a big deal though ... most fans can handle it. I forget the mechanical stuff, but it takes something like 3 times the amount of power to get something in motion than it does to maintain that motion.

Glad you had a good time on vacation. take care John. Donnie is "bluenose" not to be confused with... |

Glad you had a good time on vacation. take care John. Log on to this...... mucking boy! I posted a copy of photos of drain plugs over there, without comment. Just drain plugs. Naturally, several of The Seven Little Schitts added their usual sorts of comments, and the Substitute Moderator locked the thread. The Little Schitts can't behave, no matter what. Other than that, the only post of interest over there in weeks had to do with some nicely turned out model boats. I think Chuck simply lost interest in his creation. -- Republicans - They Take Special Pride in their Ignorance. Leonard locked the thread? Good for him. Your trolls are getting nipped in the bud now. You'll soon tire of dropping the bait over at Chuck's and coming up empty. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S Maybe people are - boating? WAFA spends more time bitching than he does *looking* at a boat. |

Yeah...I know. He's always fishing for info to store away and bring out months or years later. Don, When Harry gives you marching orders, he doesn't want a "yeah but", he wants you to say "yes sir". Jump to before he slaps you upside the head. That would be funny if it wasn't so true. It's really sad. |

Reggie, Herring, DK, BAR, Florida Jim, et cetera, are the same sorts of guys who had the crap beat out of them weekly in junior high. Loogie, of course, is their stupid little boy toy who wags his tail every time they take notice of and encourage him. They're garbage, Don. It's that simple. Don, The correct response is .... "Yes Sir!" How would WAFA know what I post? He has me in his killfile. Someone should remind him. Too many lies... |
