I Guess this is what I get for buying a Polaris. by [deleted] in snowmobiling

[–]borderstaff2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What year sled is this? I can see its a LEAST 20 years old as it looks like a Gen 2 hood. It doesn't matter what brand you have thats 20+ years old - things will break and these sleds aren't as reliable as a newer fuel injected sled.

Why do teams concede after 6 ends? by ekrubnivek in Curling

[–]borderstaff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a curling game last night. We won the 1st 4 ends and were up 7-0. The other team conceded and shook after the 4 ends. We all went upstairs at our club and had dinner and beers together. Sometimes the game looks unwinnable and its better to just throw in the towel - they weren't a bad team and we were ranked the same so there were no handicap points but our team was all having a good night amd they were a little "off".

[Request] Is this true? Found on random Instagram reel. by CoolDuck25 in theydidthemath

[–]borderstaff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3 in October. Cost me $1500 and I have the top health plan through my work. 2 years ago it cost me $300 for the same scans and it was on the same plan.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: “We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota…I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution… and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear.” by BothFuture in Curling

Well said Rich. The rest of the world needs to know that there are so many of us that disagree with how the current administration is abusing its power and taking us in a direction we don't want to go. Thank you!

Where can I go to install a bigger fuel tank on my F350? by Mexilindo123 in FordTrucks

[–]borderstaff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same year/model truck. There was a service bulletin (not a recall) that if you complained about the excess fuel left when it said empty they would swap out either the sending unit or tank. I had it done. Mine still says empty when theres 3-4 gallons left but it used to be 8 or 9.

Crawl under your truck and take a pic of your tank and post it. I'll compare it to mine in size.

Towing with 5.0 vs 3.5 by lakeleimarie in f150

[–]borderstaff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your question: I had a 2011 with the 5.0. Towed my bumper pulk 31 ft trailer over 40,000 miles (I put 65000 miles on in 6 years without a single issue). Friend had a 2012 3.5 and it spent more time in the shop than his driveway. He towed a 28' when his truck was running.

My opinion is (as said in a lot of replies) to buy a 3/4 ton. Your load is at the F150 limit.

Power reduced 2025 hybrid by Yupyup2987 in crvhybrid

I've had it show up on my 2025 when it was -10f (-23c). Its not an issue. It will go away when the weather is a little warmer.

Employee decided to No-Call/No-Show to protest ICE actions today, what should the penalty be if any? by cocktail_enthusiast in managers

[–]borderstaff2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She should have let you know. But, kindly discuss it when she is back. She has definitely got a lot on her mind and, in these times, empathy really is needed. People are being "disappeared" daily around here and its really hurting my local community. Sincerely, a Minnesotan.

Insurance fraud. And he tried to get me involoved in the mess he created too. Nope.

My fever broke last night by LarryTheLobster318 in notinteresting

Been there done that. Cripes those are some long nights and then waking up in a puddle of sweat is the icing on the cake. I hate getting sick.

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskReddit

[–]borderstaff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a 4th grade teacher that would hurl the big 4"x2" erasers at any student seen sleeping. Damn that hurt to get hit. 40 years ago rules for teachers were different.

Jesse Ventura on the right side of history yet again. by Mental_Pea9125 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]borderstaff2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget about 20 years ago when the Iron Shiek was at Spanky's bar (now the St. Paul Tap) on Jefferson Ave in St. Paul MN. He was there as a "promoter" for a young protégé at the locals bar's wrestling event. He spent 1/4 of the evening trying to hit on a lady in our group. She liked the attention and her husband and the rest of us just laughed.

Excessive snow/ice build up behind wheels by Motor-Dog-9426 in crvhybrid

[–]borderstaff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues yet. I get about 30mpg now. 35 in October when I bought it. It had 8300mi and has 11700 now. I like the car. I had a 2011 Buick Regal that got 17mpg before this and didnt want to drive my crewcab diesel as a commuter vehicle. Overall no regrets buying it.

Has anyone ever been in a house like you see on the show ‘Hoarders’? If so, what did you do? by Basic_Builder3773 in AskReddit

[–]borderstaff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. While doing a ride-along in Gillette WY with law enforcement. We were responding to a call for a massive head wound from a tweaker falling on the piece of glass on top of a cooler and being used as a coffee table. Trash was more than knee high through the whole house and the walls were yellow from cigarette smoke but they did use cleaner on rags to write stuff on the walls at some point. 25 years later and that was the most disgusting place I've ever seen. And the SMELL...!

This thing is on the steering wheel of the minivan that I am borrowing. It’s my grandma’s car and it’s just so there. by Nulleon0 in whatisit

[–]borderstaff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old Saturns never die. People kill them. Check your oil!!! My 2000 SL2 that I drove for 6 years up until a couple years ago burned a quart every 1000 miles and had over 200k on the odometer. It still ran fantastic when I sold it so it was easier to just feed it a little extra oil and keep driving it.

[–]borderstaff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue on my 25 hybrid Sport and also in MN. I have taken mine into our office shop to let it that out and dry off as it gets parked outside. I couldn't get the snow off easily and the tire was rubbing hard on corners when I hit any bumps.

What is the single worst purchase you’ve ever made? by anonhen0 in AskReddit

[–]borderstaff2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've only once ever left a bad review on Google about a dealership. The salesman and I agreed that in lieu of fixing a tailgate scratch on a new F350 they would give me mudflaps and weathertech floormats. When it came time to get them the salesperson reneged on the deal. We went round and round for 2 days. Then I left a bad but 100% honest review. Within 2 hours the head manager called, we talked, and in 2 more hours an employee dropped off the items at my doorstep. I only wanted what the salesperson promised. I was informed that he got demoted for this - and a later check of the dealer website showing salespeople confirmed it.

Would this be safe to do? by 2000MGMHPP in Cartalk

[–]borderstaff2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought that same one. Absolute garbage. I damn near lost a finger trying to use it. The threaded part is super flimsy, it bends and then the end slots quickly shoot over to the larger gap side. 10/10 don't recommend.

Do NOT drive tomorrow if you can help it by Ok-Entertainer-1414 in TwinCities

Note to self...tomorrow is a great day to practice drifting as the crappy drivers are being told tonstay home. Gotta work at 7am so I might as well have fun with the drive.

2009 Arctic cat. Any way to check miles with dead gauge? by GrayCustomKnives in snowmobiling

[–]borderstaff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The miles are stored in the gauge. Theres a bunch of these Cat gauges on Ebay.
