  1. you can buy those cards in 10 and 20 dollar denominations, I still have a few unused ones in my wallet, for 2022 if they still work
  2. only way to use those phones is with a telebec phone card, any other way costs a fortune, I will be sad to see them go.
  3. Were are @%^&#$!! you know how much more fossil fuel we are going to need to burn to power up everything they want to be electric, now would be a good time to get into the electrical wiring business, going to need and infrastructure 25 times bigger than what we currently have....your great grand kids might see it.
  4. Stan, about 14 years ago you and I rode 2 straight days in New Brunswick, at 30 below, on white concrete , just like this, and no other sleds were to be scene, we had it all to our own, you were riding a turbo and I had a supercharger, only thing I can remember better looking than this picture!!
  5. My friend bought a 125k Tesla, left the Berkshires on a cold winter day to go see the Bruins in Boston, battery needed charging just past Worcester, charging station was full with cars waiting, had to rent a car to get there, he is not very happy!!
  6. Will never happen in that time frame with anything less than a miracle, probably true for cars too. The entire trail network will close down and so will all the outfitters in the bush, this equals big resistance and a lot of politicians will be voted out. Remember a politician is making these politically correct statements...not an engineer or a manufacturer, they promise the world when campaigning and never deliver a fraction of what they promise.
  7. Riding out there is probably the safest place you could ever be!!
  8. That was very important and the part no one wants to talk about....liberals spent 16.9 billion dollars....17 billion dollars across America on House of Rep election races....and lost 11 seats!!! Hard to believe 17 billion dollars collectively, while all their constituents were in line at the food pantry!! 36 months to put all these folks in the middle class...then the next election starts...amazing how fast this is...and there is no way in hell that those election promises are going to be filled...this is far from over.
  9. This is the longest anything made in China has ever lasted!!
  10. I saw that camper parked in the gas station in parent 2 years ago, there cannot be 2 of them.
  11. antifa and undocumented shopping, that stuff is OK?? Ever notice no republicans went out to loot and riot after the election, imagine if Trump one, they would have burned down half the country!!
  12. after watching that in slow -mo it looks like a maniquin.
  13. You just cannot make up some of this stuff, lucky the sled did not land on him and finish him off.
  14. 595 45 miles north of Lacashe?
  15. Before the park closed this area use to get an amazing amount of business and traffic and St Donat offered some great food.
  16. When a position like Secretary of the Treasury becomes political all the common sense moves that a seasoned businessman would make, to keep everything working in the black and allow business' to make money , magically disappear. Next thing you know, you are spending deep into the red, printing money, and causing inflation, with no apparent care as to who will pay it back or how it will be paid back. These positions are usually filled by some political hack who has managed to get millions out of their government jobs so they are very secure no matter what happens. So long as the ever growing population that either does not work by choice or cannot find a job keeps voting for their promises of debt relief , free health care and a list of other benefits, they just keep getting elected. We really need term limits to get these people out of there.All the government should really be doing is No 1 make us safe, No 2 create an economic environment where we can get up each day and go out to work and support our families, and then get out of the way. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he is set for life, pretty basic stuff. We now have a system where we are working for the government officials and they are trying to control us, this is exactly backwards, they work for us and we control them, this is truly where we are today....not good!!
  17. It is a very sad day to realize that the real agenda is to continually push a liberal far left agenda where you encourage a base that refuses to pull their end of the rope to vote for a party that raises taxes solely for social entitlements. When that group gets bigger than the group actually working for a living they just keep voting to take more from those who are now supporting them. It is socialism and that turns into communism when everyone is depending on the government rather than themselves. Next stop, government health care, take away firearms, and presto....the people have no power. Glad I am not 15!!
  18. Cannot really argue with this statement, the last 3 years saw the largest percentage of employment in a half century, you could have had 3 jobs if you wanted, only people out of work on public assistance were those who refused to work, and everyone was still trying to hire until covid came. Trump may not have pleased everyone but no question he really made the economy go, we saw our best 3 consecutive years ever, 47 years, the best 3, absolutely no coincidence. Watch what happens, by August gas will be 3 to 3.50 a gallon, heating oil will go up, natural gas will go up, stock market will go down, and....they will blame it all on Trump.Raising taxes will not make it better, they will just need the money to be able to pay those who cannot find work. Crazy shit, going from everyone trying to hire to no jobs available.If this happens we will be looking at another change in 4 years.
  19. Over the years I have run probably 2 dozen different sleds, some modified sleds with 200 to 235 hp. I had sleds with 225 studs, 144 studs, etc. 20 years ago when properly done, when the tracks were heavier, I never had a problem. Today with the lighter tracks and better clutching I have seen a lot of studs pull out and ruin heat exchangers. I now have 2 850's a backcountry with a 1.6 and an Extreme with a 1.8. I never thought I would be without studs until I rode these sleds, they hook up very well and I have not found the need to go back to studs, last season I rode 5600 miles with no issues. I do know that they stop better and hook up well, but that being said, I never had a sled hook nearly as well as the extreme.It is a personal choice for sure, I guess if I was younger and hanging at the lake all day racing 1/4 miles I would use them. But for sure when out on the trail a thousand miles from my truck, I feel good not worrying about a self induced coolant leak.
  20. I will be surprised if something like this does not happen by the 1st of the year, everything is advancing quickly now, help is really just around the corner, I think we should be ready, we will probably get to ride some time this season.
  21. Everyone should end this game of life doing something they love....my friend who is now 74 says he wants to go at 90....from the hand of an irate 25 year old husband!!
  22. With this new surge being bigger than the last surge....Vt has stopped non essential travel....and all New England states and New York...are going to have an emergency meeting this week end...to plight a plan going forward....I am quickly loosing hope that we will be able to ride anywhere this season....unless you are lucky enough to live in a remote area where you can leave your door step for a quick rip around in an uninhabited area where no one lives. The good news is that things will very likely be back to normal by next season.I think moving forward there are a lot of areas that are moving toward an uncharted future, unfortunately the worst is yet to come for many people , probably more mandatory shut downs....this is going to hurt.
