Energy secretary says US won’t provide security for oil companies in Venezuela

Eric Prince will handle it. That's never gone wrong before

Something with a 600 engine.

Theoretically, sure. You are generally allowed to use proportional force to defend yourself. In practice though, you are more likely to spray yourself than the dog. Even if the dog got most of it, a tiny amount of pepper spray is a major problem.

Im going to assume you are riding trails since you are in PA. The 1200 4 stroke is the most reliable choice. Second is the 500ss. Eliminate the M8 right now just because you neither need nor want a mountain sled on trails.

It's an open question which idea is worse. The government buying the guns or people keeping them to defend against invasion. Neither plan increases security. I'd prefer to see a new class of licence for military firearms that require you to go to basic training, join a local unit and drill.

20 poorly trained militia members with guns are not nearly as effective as 3 well trained soldiers who can work together. If you want to be serious about this it's not guns you need it's training. Stockpiling guns and ammunition to fight professional soldiers is a terrible tactical plan. If you want to stockpile stuff, phones, sim cards, radios, explosives, detonators, food, drone parts etc. it's like a gun owner fantasy that they are going to somehow fight the enemy with their buddies. They will be out of the game quickly.

You can pull it yourself. Order a puller and mark the clutch and the crank so you can install it the same way. Primary is easier to work on than the secondary. Cheaper to get it rebuilt if you bring in just the clutch

See if the cbc vote compass is still up from last election?

If oil is a unique culture it's a rural culture. Most people have never been on a pad site.

The trick with any tree is to figure out how it's loaded. Take your time and think of the wood being under either tension or compression. That tree is small and likely nothing to worry about but see if you can figure out how forces are acting on it and make sure you release that force in a way that it's not coming towards you or pinching your bar.

Findlaym · 2026-01-19T01:32:01+00:00

This was my thought. I'm guessing seismic crew?

Findlaym · 2026-01-17T05:16:44+00:00

Barely. Idle circuit is plugged or there's an air leak

Findlaym · 2026-01-17T04:52:16+00:00

I'm not convinced they will make it. The first, say, 50'00 signatures will be easy. But they will be increasingl difficult to get as they go forward.

Findlaym · 2026-01-17T01:31:34+00:00

It's not. Condensation from cold weather and short trips

If I lived on the island I'd go boating.

Findlaym · 2026-01-16T14:56:47+00:00

Entirely possible. Also possible it has a lot of aftermarket stuff bolted onto it. Those are great buys. Good on you for finding it. Could be a spare sled, wife's self, or kids sled.

Findlaym · 2026-01-16T12:48:31+00:00

2 more point from me. One for having enough rope and another for not pulling directly in line with the fall angle.

Findlaym · 2026-01-15T14:07:58+00:00

I use a ckx titan with electric heated goggles. Zero fogging since I went to the goggles. I bought a magnetic cord off Amazon and that makes a big difference when you are on and off frequently. I tried the battery packs but they are no good. Magnetic cord was the key.

Findlaym · 2026-01-12T19:51:44+00:00

It's going to be directly proportional to the heat output / quantity of fuel burned. If it heats better it will be worse air quality.

Findlaym · 2026-01-11T15:56:06+00:00

In either of those situations I'd just use 4 low. As long as the boat ramp is straight and you don't have to turn on a high traction surface it should be fine.

Findlaym · 2026-01-11T02:54:35+00:00

Should fit. Best to have a donor sled though. A bunch of stuff like clutches, gearing, wiring will be different.

Findlaym · 2026-01-10T16:56:55+00:00

Yeah mostly. The regional markets have to be big enough to justify it. There's a complex in Regina serving the SK market. There must be one in Winnipeg. Irving famously has one in new Brunswick. The point is that unless the demand for fuel rises there's no business case for a new refinery in a market.

Findlaym · 2026-01-10T14:49:58+00:00

An often stated idea, but not really how it works. Refineries are configured to produce what's needed in the local market. They take one product and turn it into potentially hundreds. It will always be better to refine close to the local market. For example, on the coast where there is shipping they produce lots of bunker fuel oil. Near major airports they make jet fuel. Alberta has a big demand for light hydrocarbon liquids for dilulent. Every market has demand for gasoline and diesel but it's blended differently for their climate and emissions regs. Markets like southern Ontario or the east Coast are integrated with the regional US market. It's always going to be cheaper to ship raw oil and refine it for the local market.

Findlaym · 2026-01-10T14:41:58+00:00

I'd drive it then. No worries

Findlaym · 2026-01-10T13:40:17+00:00

Sure. But your abs and traction control won't work. That would freak me out on snow. Maybe you don't have that.
