  1. We'll see how you tRump lovers like the way things are going after he's been in for a year "fixing" the economy. I doubt it will take anything that long before the sh** hits the fan but I hope I'm wrong.. He certainly has exposed the ugly side of America for the world to see.. The Constitution, law and the sentiments presented on the plaque on the Statue of Liberty mean absolutely nothing to him and his MAGATs. God help America. She's going to need it.
  2. That looks like the seal for the output shaft is bad; and your Amsoil.... Does it happen to be much lighter ( thinner) than the recommended oil for that case?. That could be the problem with the speed of the leak.leak
  3. There were no males competing against females in Olympic boxing if that is what you are referring to. I think cancelling the Aunt Jemima branding was stupid along with some of the other "politically correct " changes. I am also against " big government" where it interferes with things like "women's rights" because of religious theology which should have no bearing in government. A lot of Republican politicians claim the Justice Department is weaponized when they are not in power but completely change their attitude to the same statutes and actions when they do hold the reins. Just because I am outside your borders doesn't make the facts less true.
  4. I see you don't let fact interfere with your conspiracy theories and alternate reality.
  5. She is an Asian heritage, but American " black " woman, just as you and I are of European heritage citizens of the US, and Canada. I, like the majority world wide believe she will be a far better President and preserve your version of democracy than that self centered wanna be dictator you support. By the way, the head of the UK's Royal Family is now King Charles. We are part of the British Commonwealth, but the king and the government of the UK has no say in what we do as a nation. Our Supreme Court is the highest court of the land just yours is for you. I don't know of any polls done, but I would suspect there is as much , if not more interest in the Royal Family in the US as there is in Canada and likely most of the countries in the Commonwealth . He is a figurehead only with no power to enact any laws. That job is vested in our Parliament , just as yours is by your Congress.
  6. You're right. I won't. I learned long ago that trying to show fact and proof of anything to a cultist and hard right extremist is a lesson in frustration. They "BELIEVE" and there is no swaying their belief with anything they don't want to see or hear. They reject everything as lies and just launch into insults and accusations. Hopefully you will be extremely disappointed after Nov. 5th.
  7. Good to see the tRump cultists start to panic and drop into insult and try to deflect mode . LOL... I hope to see tRump's age and cognitive abilities decline brought out and stressed much more often now. Rave on fellas. I'm not the only one laughing at you.
  8. Spoken like a true MAGAT cultist. I don't expect to see any fact and reality alter your opinions
  9. Kamala Harris's weakest point is she is a woman of colour in a nation still too deeply immersed in racism and misogyny. She is far more capable of doing a great job in the Presidency,Fostering women's rights and keeping the nation out of fascism than tRump is. I just hope she and the Democrats can make the nation see that. Electing Donald tRump would be a huge gift to Putin and Xi and a huge threat to America's allies and partners around the world. The lessons taught by the parallels in Europe of the 1930's is lost on the US. The cult is almost as strong now as the one of the '30's was then.
  10. Mech, I don't give fools that have nothing to add to the forum that helps or benefits the members the satisfaction of seeing his crap responded to. His profile pic says it all about him and the forum members know all to well who the helpful and thoughtful members are and who are the trolls.
  11. I couldn't agree with you more on how the internet has changed things both for the good and bad and for the very reasons you mentioned.- I'm not so much in agreement on age and term limits. You lose some very capable and intelligent people with them. The changes in your system I would like to see are the end to gerrymandering of voting districts and the elimination of the Electoral College. The Electoral College served a purpose when it was instituted but in today's reality it is counterproductive and definitely does not aerve the will of the majority.. At a time when much of the population spent their entire lives within 30 or so miles of where they were born , and to collect and tabulate the votes of the entire nation in a Federal election could take months, the college made sense, but no more in today's virtually instant communication world wide. Our political systems are different. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. One advantage I feel ours has is the elimination of gerrymandering.. Voting districts are determined by population numbers and to an extent physical boundaries by and independent committee rather than by a political party trying to gain advantage by fiddling the boundaries to favour one party or limit another's voters f4om getting to the polls to cast their votes. Here is how districts are determined in Canada for those that are curious https://electionsanddemocracy.ca/system/files/2019-10/Teacher fact sheet_EN.pdf
  12. I remember when the GOP was the party fighting for civil rights and the "Southern Democrats" were the racist radicals pushing segregation. I remember the Civil Rights Act of 1964, ( coincidentally the same year Colt released the AR-15 to the public ) I remember the shift of the right to the GOP and the left to the Dems largely starting after the events after the Civil Rights Act (1964) and accelerating later with the election of Ronald Reagan. I remember when the tax burden in the US was much more aimed at the rich and corporations rather than the middle and lower classes. That shift got it's biggest bump with Reaganomics. I remember when the border was a minor inconvenience to both Canadians and Americans visiting , playing and vacationing back and forth.. No passports or NEXUS cards needed. I remember the US before the polarization and radicalization on both sides of the middle and I don't like to see what has happened to the US over the years since the 1980's . I will be 81 in less than 2 months and look towards your November election with both dread and hope for your national future. Hopefully the moderates on both the "right" and "left" will prevail but I see too many modern parallels to the decline of the Roman Empire in what's been happening.
  13. Ulfthednar, How are you going to spin the report the shooter was in fact a registered Republican? Such violence is NEVER justified from either the right or the left. My sincere condolences to the families of the man who died and the ones who were seriously injured. Once again an AR15 style weapon was used by a nut case in a senseless shooting, and nothing will be done to remove military style weapons from the hands of civilians . Those guns have one purpose only , no matter how you try to spin their "|sporting" uses. They are made to kill as many in as short a time as possible and the nut cases are drawn to them like magnets.
  14. I wouldn't be so quick to accuse the left of attempting to take tRump out. It very easily could have been a disgruntled Republican sick of where the wanna be dictator and his cult have taken the once great GOP. you're right.. There hasn't been ONE direct , pre-meditated attack by extremists on the right against those demonstrating from the left.. There have been several.
  15. The brushes in your starter might be badly worn. They are replaceable
  16. From the video I saw of another model, the neutral switch is located low on the left side of the transmission. Disconnect it and use a test meter to see if it shows open and ground when you shift in and out of neutral. If it tests ok, then test the wire to it for power with the ignition on and shifting in and out of neutral. To test to see if the starter itself is ok you can run a wire directly from battery positive and touch it to the positive terminal on the starter. If it is ok, also check the starter relay.
  17. The tiller tines need t rotate at a much faster pace than the wheels so there would have to be considerable modifications`v and expense to try that idea.. My tiller tines rotate at approximately 13 times as fast as the wheels of the tiller. It would be an interesting concept if one of the ATV makers would add a PTO to their machine and offer PTO driven accessories lie a tiller for it . Mate a PTO to a hydraulic pump to drive the accessories.. Who wouldn't like an ATV yo can have fun with on the trails and use the same machine for snow blowing ( or blade pushing as the have now) but also for rotortilling and other garden chore .. A truly 4 season toy /tool.
  18. You may feel you have poor choices but by not voting you are in effect casting a vote for the one who is the worst choice.
  19. In my Canadian view on your election, if you don't vote you are effectively voting for the worst possible candidate. I am not a "them or us" voter. I vote for the person who I think will best represent my community, with a secondary regard for the party they represent. In your 2 party system that entails voting for the "wrong party" at times. As I see it , I don't agree with some of the things Biden has done, but the main complaint against him is his age. He still has control of all his faculties, His running mate appears to me to be capable of doing the job if she has to take over part way through the term. I could fill a data bank listing tRump's faults and connections to Russia, his admiration of dictators and his immorality and flouting of commercial law and the tax system. He certainly doesn't represent "Christian values" as I know them, I find it appalling the support he has among the Evangelists. Kennedy is a nut case even his family doesn't support and warns against him. There is a huge difference between inadvertently possessing some "classified" documents from your administration and voluntarily handing them over and possessing and sharing with individuals who are not unauthorized to see them, and then hiding them to retain them. For what purpose is a big question you should ask? From statements his staff has made, he quite possibly still have some stashed away that were moved while the search of Mar-A-Lago was under way. Not voting may be a choice, but as I said, it is in effect a vote for the worst possible candidate. This is the time to vote for the best candidate(s) offered despite whether they belong to the "wrong party" or not.
  20. I keep 1 or 2 amp maintainers on all my batteries that aren't used regularly . One is on my quad, one on my riding mower, one on a jump stater / air compressor pack and one on my 3/4 tom 4x4. They're far cheaper than replacing batteries that have lost capacity or completely failed because they sulphated up from self discharge while the machines sat idle for extended periods. A battery kept charged up on a maintainer can last several years while one allowed to sit at less than full charge may fail within a year or two.
  21. I just finished watching a "Meet the Press" interview with Nikki Haley. Like all politicians she managed to talk a lot without ever giving a direct "Yes" or "No" answer to any question, but I can say President Biden best hope he has to run against tRump and not her in November. Haley stands head and shoulders above tRump in intellect and capability. Whether she would moderate some of the hard right stances she has taken on some issues if she gained the Presidency or not is a question but if she managed to take the GOP nomination she would be a very real threat to a Biden second term and most likely take it away from him. The man-child tRump is increasingly being seen as the disgusting loser he is; even among some of his old supporters on the far right.
  22. The dimensions of that battery are shown in the amazon ad.Measure your battery box to see if it will fit .. If you search for a battery for the specific year and model it should take you to ads for compatible batteries .
  23. Put the battery on a charger to charge it right up.. If it was left for a couple of months without a battery maintainer on it the charge on it could have been very low and a 20 minute charge from the quad's system would not likely bring it to anywhere near a full charge. I just did a search on your battery and the recommended battery for your quad. Your battery is woefully inadequate for that machine. It is rated for 120 cold cranking amps and likely only 9 amp hours reserve. Specs for your quad calls for a battery with 210 CCA and 14 Ah reserve. The little battery in your scrambler might start ok when the battery is full charged and in warm weather , but in the cold it is not likely going to do well even if fully charged.
  24. Yes he is old- A year older than me; but he is still far more aware and capable than tRump. Fact is tRump first tried to use a run for the Presidential nomination as a ploy to put his name out there for business promotion. Remember his vow to spend his own money on his campaign? When he actually won the nomination, the GOP paid all the campaign expenses. When he actually won the real milking the presidency to line the pockets of himself and his family.. Whether you want to believe it or not, Biden is respected internationally and tRump is viewed as an incompetent laughing stock and a threat to your "democracy". I too would like to see younger contenders but as it is it looks like you are going to have the choice of an old , capable honest man and a 4 year "younger" grifter facing 91 felony charges.
  25. Most of the world sees that in tRump, not Biden. But go ahead and enjoy your very misleading Youtube videos.
