What did you buy this week?

I ordered from Ace and wanted it in the crate, so I could assemble it. I did speak to I&O on Thursday and though they don’t recommend the type of grease (just grease), the tech rep agreed that I could use white lithium, it’s just nlgi #2 grade. I have approximately 10 tubes of Rotella HD that I could have safely used. Should be alright for a while anyway. When I am out, it will be Rotella.

Supporting local small town businesses up north, Bought my stepson a new pair of rocky brand winter boots (merry Xmas ) after he apparently thought his crocs would be sufficient for up north snowmobiling and other winter activities. Still shaking my head in disbelief at the his one. But I brought warm socks was his response .

I bought a Woodland Mills WC88 chipper. 8" diameter capacity. Hydraulic in-feed. It should be here before the end of the year.

lol. Might want to show him this chart. It’s labeled for motorcycles but applies to snowmobiles as well. Warm gear is a must.

What I got off that chart is you can not cool down going faster once it hits 90F and after hundred there is a positive windchill.....

Factor in 10 degree temps up here.

I suppose whoever made the chart needs some education. Wind will never make the temperature feel warmer, even if you're on a motorcycle.

The chart also assume the only 'wind' is coming from the speed of the bike.

Another fun 'wind chill' fact...if the actual temp is above freezing, no amount of wind will make your pipes freeze.
