That also looks impressive. I've recently gotten rid of a few of the older machines to save electricity because of the new rates (well 6 month old rates now). I feel your pain on the electricity. I am going to cut off my P4's pretty quick. Too much juice for too little production. Cheers

I was researching something else and ran across a document called "Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crash Facts - 2011." On page 7 I found this interesting tidbit on crashes and why they happened.
----------------------------------------WHY they happened. Because defective equipment (such as a flat tire) may be a contributing factor in a particular traffic crash, an officer at the scene will list 0, 1, or 2 contributing factors for each ̳vehicle‘ involved. Thus, the ̳cause‘ of a crash is sometimes not entirely clear as multiple vehicular factors in a crash may be listed alongside multiple human factors. However, vehicular factors are not cited as often as human factors. Human behavior factors usually give us a clear indication of why a traffic crash occurs. A bout one - third of all crashes involve only one vehicle and about two - thirds involve two or more vehicles. Single - vehicle and multiple - vehicle crashes have different characteristic s. In single vehicle crashes, illegal or unsafe speed is the contributing factor cited most often for all drivers less than 80 years old . For them , driver inattention or distract ion is the most cited factor . In multiple - vehicle crashes, for drivers through age 64, driver inattention or distraction is cited most often, and failure to yield right of way is cited second most often. After age 65, the pattern reverses: failing to yield is most common, and inattention or distraction is second most common The whole report is 111 pages long and I have not read the it in its entirety. If anyone is interested it is at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/ots/educational-...ents/CRASH-FACTS-2011.pdf Cheers

??????????????? You should feel good you are doing so well. Cheers Yes but I have also set new standard to my self, getting awful stress about it. Was more use to drive 20 miles on silent country road and now all the sudden on highway. Also get dizzy on high places, hate when my statics climb up. Too old for all this. ![]() ![]() |

Hey Bearcat,
----------------------------------------Have you seen the latest projections for Monday ? Some of the weather fear mongers are saying the heavy snow swath could be right over us - up to 16in(25cm) of heavy wet snow. Guess we will have to wait and see how accurate their models are. Cheers

The news folks won't say but am hearing above 6 inches. Starting to wonder if they don't want to be the bad news bears until tomorrow, then tell us winter is back. Won't be pretty if we do get hit. Would probably be the wet heavy stuff. Stay safe folks.
