    At least you don't have to root for the colts.

    Had some real interesting plays, no?

    GE makes great fridges. LG's haven't been as good as other brands for refigerators. This is based on a work LG, as well as a friend's lg that both failed recently. They were 3 and 4 years old. I even find 8 yrs unacceptable for a fridge to fail. A fridge should be a 15+ year appliance with zero issues.

    My Whirlpool made 3 years or less before a major repair. Most are Chinese junk anymore.

    My friend has an old fridge in his garage he used to keep drinks in. He just recently unplugged it a few years ago. Kept it for old times sake. It was his parents. That thing is from the 1960s I believe. They don’t make them like that anymore. I’ll have to look to see who made it the next time I’m there. Not too many manufacturers of them back then.

    I thought about that when you said that earlier in the year, when they were like 5-0. I missed the first half due to getting some work done, but that was crazy. Crazy game. I'm shocked they blew that lead.

    Knocking on wood, but my GE french door with the freezer on the bottom has been rock solid since 08. Granted it's a cafe top line model, made in the USA.

    bocefus78 , $1000 for that 8n is a steal.

    My mom sold our 2n with a Ford brush hog and a FEL for a lot more than that. 3ph, 6v

    Today I got a bit done. On my way to my buddy's, I stopped at the recycling center and got paid $ for scrap steel and aluminum cans. That paid for my trip out and back, and cleaned some crap up.

    I did some work on the ATV and a bit of firewood work. I swapped the "snow tires" onto the rear axle of the bayou, and the put the v chains on the rear tires. I also installed the Oxford heated over grips on the bayou. Easy install, and they work great. I went and dropped a dead standing barkless elm today at my buddy's dad's land. It was a short ride down the road with the ATV and the trailer behind. It wasn't that big of a tree, about 14-15" at the base. I couldn't take any more wood out of the woods in one trip than that 1 tree due to the amount of snow, the weight, and the hills I had to get over. I also had to haul these rounds and "sticks" by hand about 100 feet to the trailer. So that was a bit of work.
    I split all the elm that was needing to be split, and left the sticks to take home and cut up tomorrow. I also the the rest of the beech in the trailer that I had at my buddy's and took the elm and beech home.

    Sorry, no pics, my phone was acting up, showing no charge, but after I got it plugged in to the car charger, and going, it was at 70% charged. Odd.

    Now I just need to get the "sticks" cut to size tomorrow, and research ways to get the aluminum thumb throttle to not freeze my thumb. I'm thinking either shrink wrap tubing, electrical tape, or tool handle dip. Otherwise I'll have to buy one of those plastic throttle flipper extenders that set screws down.

    Those hot grips are really nice though already.
