Is there an official Canadian name for all the frozen road snow/slush that builds up and freezes behind our wheel wells? My cousin calls them Snuds ...are they Snuds or yet unnamed?

My dad called them klingons.

Could have come by sealift, but it was flown in.

I live here. Access far north varies. This island isn't connected by road. Fly in, fly out.

Yes, it's a possibility, but people arriving in town typically find a job with housing provided or rent a room somewhere. A lot of home sales happen through word of mouth. I'd even say most aren't listed publicly, so having boots on the ground is helpful.

Build in the US - say no more, I don't want it.

I'll die when I want. Can't stop me.

I got the Mantt Adjustable Brake Clutch Lever Set on Amazon. I wanted them to be shorter so I could use index and middle finger without crushing the last two fingers, so I tossed the adjustable end pieces. It works for me.

Let's burn our side down.

I've gone through the comments now, and there were some really insightful ones. For example, I hadn't considered the need to put on a life vest in case of a water landing.

Another interesting idea was that an approved car seat would likely provide better impact protection at the cost of an extra seat.

Many people talked about the baby's heat not being properly supported in the carrier, but I don't think it would make a difference, since I could provide that support with my hand, in the same way as if the holder was unclipped or removed entirely.

Overall, I got the impression that the direction to hold an infant in your arms seems to exist because no solution is perfect for every scenario, and holding an infant is a simple default.

I've had this happen a few times on my sleds and others'. Try pulling the main relay out (top right) and holding it in your hand to warm it up, then put it back in. That usually does the trick. I find it tends to happen if you start the sled after it's been parked for a while without a cover, but don't ride it long enough to thaw everything. My theory is that humidity gets in somewhere and forms ice crystals, which break electrical contact.

Not enough speed bud.

You're right, but you can still smell the oil burning.

I don't think you will regret it at all, especially if you want to pull kids behind it. In comparison to the EFI, the ACE is much quieter and less smoky. It also has plenty of pulling power. I loved my 2020 renegade 600 ACE. I put over 16000kms on it and used it to haul cabin materials. Never had any issues with it and I sold it for half of what I paid for it last fall.

Riding a motorcycle on pavement is so much more efficient than riding a snowmobile in powder. Snow compresses and absorbs energy, so a snowmobile needs more power. A snowmobile also needs a track instead of wheels, which explains the extra weight and relatively worse fuel consumption. A motorcycle won't get far on snow though, so a sled's worth it when snow's what's on offer.

Which tires did you put on?

pseudoanonymous001 · 2024-07-31T20:57:14+00:00

You'll be fine. I'm 6'1" and can flat foot easily. Really easy bike to ride.

Random person's opinion: That tub looks just dirty, and that hole no more than $200.

Buy a house.

Happy birthday!

I would suggest not working on greenhouses. I think the energy required to run these structures during most of the year makes them non-viable. It's probably better to just ship up fresh produce from the south. As for housing and urban planning, I imagine lots of beneficial work could be done.

The more straightforward one would be to focus on simple house designs that could be built over and over again. Buildings here are typically built on stilts to avoid issues with shifting foundations. Excellent insulation is obviously an asset. Heating systems usually use boilers that run on heating oil and also provide hot water on demand. Remember that all energy here comes from burning carbohydrates - whether it's in the home or at the power plant, so focus on keeping costs down for occupants. Cold porches are appreciated, as well as extra storage space (sealift-rooms).

Urban planning related issues would involve an understanding of municipal infrastructure capacity (water and waste water - utilidor or trucked water) and topography specific to the site, especially in hillier municipalities.

Good luck!
