Please see red interspersed comments.

Ya your right my friend snout these companies and that's ok they aren't holding a mouse all the time. The main part is they make a good product and offer good service so that more than makes up for the lack of Internet service.

Considering how bad the explosion was I'm lucky to be alive :ashamed:

Paul, great install as usual.

Thanks for the info on the company. I try to buy whatever i can made "here".

If your interested in a weather station for your home (so you know what to wear outside :laughing:) its hard to beat Davis. Made in the states, and a quality unit as well.

Thanks Jason. I feel the same way as you about buying at home. As a Canadian Ive done plenty to contribute to the American eccomany, just ask the wife :eek:

They're a great company to deal with. I'll have to check out Davis :D It was so cold here last night the wood horse tried to get in the house :laughing:

X2 on Davis. Have had one for 15 years and the only failure was the cups coming off the ananomitor at 75 mph.

Ya I know what you mean Matt. I've email them and never an answer but can always get them on the phone. Maybe using the Internet isn't there strong point and may explain why the Lack of info on there site. I'm not say'en I'm just say'en. :laughing:



Oh man you had to ask didn't ya :laughing: Well years ago I was working on a snowmobile ( today they call them sleds) :confused:

Anyway I had the thing lifted up on the back replacing the track and it was in the air for over an hour. This was in the month of January and it was really cold outside but I had the heat in the shop up on bust and I was comfortable.

My buddy was in the shop with me and the shop I had at the time was just a one bay with a pit in it. The sled was hung just above the pit but the cover was on it.

We didn't realize it at the time but the sleds carbs were leaking gas because of the way I had it lifted up. The gas was going down between the boards of the pit and I didn't know it. We did smell gas but we were in the shop and didn't really realize who much there was.

Well when I got the sled finished we put it out and closed the door again and turned the furnace up on bust. I had four prices of square tubing to weld and said to my buddy that I was going to make four tacks and call it a night and reminded him not to look as I struck the arc. He lit a smoke and looked out the garage door window and I proceeded to do the welding.

I welded the first three parts easily but on the forth weld I was kneeling down and the last weld was right on the crack in the cover of the pit and with my welding hood on I started to weld and heard a "puff" sound and felt cold. I pushed up on my hood and noticed the door was up so I said " Tom, close the door man I'm cold". He looked at me as white as a sheet and said " The door just went down the driveway"

I looked around and sure enough the door was gone, the outside wall was pushed out two full feet and the pink insulation that was in the attic was pulled down between the ceiling and the wall. There wasn't a thing left on the benches or the wall. I was completely surrounded by tools that went airborne during the explosion. In shock I asked Tom, what happened? He replied " man I don't know, I was looking out the window when I heard a noise then the door was gone and a pile of fire went over my head and then a Hugh blast of wind".

As all my buddies found out about what happened I got pegged with the name "Wildfire" and it still sticks to this day.

Thinking back. We were lucky we wern't killed 26 years ago when that happened.

Sorry to have had it so long winded :eek:

You just had to ask didn't you? :laughing:




WOW!!!
