If you aren’t going to transmit, get a 2m/70cm dual band base antenna and put it up somewhere outside. You won’t damage a receiver by using a dual band antenna

I had a pair of Timberland PRO years ago and I thought they were good but anymore I wear Redwing 4456, https://www.redwingshoes.com/work/mens/safety-toe/King-Toe-04456.html and they are met guard

I think they had some switch on the throttle that would kill the engine in case the carb stuck open, too much slack in the throttle cable might do the same thing

I doubt any sonar will get banned as it doesn’t tell you what the fish is or if it is going to bite. If they wanted to ban sonar, it should have been done 20 years ago

Better have good insurance, normal lithium batteries are bad enough but cheap ones might start a fire easier

I spent money on a lawyer with NFA trust experience for my trust. I saw one of those one size fits all trusts online and didn’t want anything to do with it but that was 10 years ago.
I wouldn’t cry too loud about the $200 tax stamp, the price has never gone up since the NFA act went into law almost 90 years ago

Is looking for shed antlers regulated by the DNR?

DJI Mini 2 SE can look straight down and it has 20+ minutes on a standard battery at slower speeds. Thermal drones are $3000+
Might want to add DJI Care Refresh in case you fly into a tree

I might have to take it out tomorrow and scan some fields

I think a lot of people selling on craigslist actually buy them at a decent price and are looking to sell for a good profit. It seems there are a few on every site

Carb might need adjusted or the compression isn’t that good

I have had remote start on my vehicles since my 96 Chevy K1500, none of them died because of any issues with idling in cold weather.

The biggest thing is to drive them long enough after they are warmed up to get the condensation and whatever else out of the oil and my 20 mile trip to work must be enough. If you want to try to kill an engine only drive it a mile and shut it off, then wait 8 hours to drive it another mile

The beadlock on my Mule 610 tires must be more than what 4 wheelers have, it took a 500 pound 3 point winch with 500 pounds of front end tractor weights on it to break the bead. My antique tire changing stand couldn’t break the bead. I took the rims into a tire shop to have the new tires seated as my air compressor didn’t stand a chance

I think that might have been the crux of the gripe by the UAW. They made concessions in 2008 renegotiating a 2007 contract so the companies could receive TARP bailout money. Those concessions were still in place when the strike started and the companies were making record profits.

I know this was not your point but I’m confused why anyone would be upset when a group of middle class workers get a good deal raising their standard of living….a rising tide raises all boats.

Not really as if everyone gets a 2% raise every year, your 2% doesn’t offset everyone elses and everyone loses in the end

It is getting close to open enrollment, call to check your zip code

How are binoculars used for ice fishing?
I have 12×50 crossfire and they are really clear

Doesn’t look like the companies with UAW workers are doing that good

Put out the word in your area and some coyote hunters may find you

Other than that, get a game call and go after them with an appropriate weapon. I guess trapping them could be an option, #3 leg hold traps and some trails end lure

The unions will sell out its members over a few things, they want a closed shop, automatic dues from paychecks and long term contracts. They want to get as much money from employees as they can for minimal effort

You have to remember that it’s the businesses descion to be a union shop. They made the choice to have union workers. My company could go non union and hire a bunch of illegals. But they are aware that’s a bad choice for there own income

At one point the workers voted and it became a union shop

BC,
I have zero problem with negotiating.
I do have a problem with someone saying the CEO is making too much so give me some of his.
That’s a terrible argument

That I agree with. I guess I didn’t realize they said he makes to much. I read they said the company as a whole is making record profits so they would like a raise. I could have missed that I guess, didn’t realize they wanted the ceos money

Were the record profits because of the employees or because of a decision made by management?

So for clarification –
A person walks into one of the big 3 for a job. The union guy tells them how great of a deal it is to work there. they say “just look at this total package”.
You agree to work this many hours and you get paid this amount.
NOW – you don’t want to work those hours and want to get paid more. OK, got it.

Then you complain that the company makes record profits and the CEO is making bank? I’m just shaking my head at that thought process. Why did you take the job? You knew all this ahead of time.

Kinda like moving next to an airport, huh?

Unbelievable.

Is the record profit due to UAW workers or the business model change?
They aren’t making as many vehicles and not offering the discounts like they used to

I’d be really curious to see the breakdown on their demands, and how much actually goes on there checks? I look at the union I’m in and sure we get nice raises, but so does the union itself by raising working dues, and monthly dues etc…

I would like to see video of what they actually do during a day

Usually at least 2 sets of skid marks at any accident

Likely a speed sensor issue on one or more wheels

So is there any way left to hear the FD PD EMS radios?

Maybe a digital trunking scanner but you can check what is being used at https://www.radioreference.com/db/browse/ then select state and county
If the people you want to listen to are using P25 phase II, the scanners get expensive and if they use encryption, you probably can’t listen anyhow

Some public safety transmissions may have gone digital and those cheap handheld radios only do analog.

If it makes enough vacuum it will cause the water to evaporate fast at room temperature and that will be impossible to overcome
