todays HIGH in Bend OR was +3.7f, that's -15.7c. didn't even make the news, cuz of NO power outages, NO traffic accidents, we are prepared for it. What is it with the northeast USA? Those ice storms happen every year and they are never proactive about it. That must be a total pain!

I have my own generator for power outages, 4KW [i doubt it'll start, will have to drain race gas from a

quad] but woodstoves in every building and plenty of firewood! All the high voltage lines are redundant so an outage usually lasts less than a second.

I went to town today and tried to get into my snowsuit; I got it on but I had to pee every ten minutes!hahaha the bibs MUST have shrunk in the dryer last time....yeah that's it! they shrunk!

All the crazy minivan moms were out completely unequipped and unprepared for subzero temps, SLICK roads, and slowed traffic. I thot this one 'humanoid' was trying to crawl right into the bed of my truck! She was so close I could only see the luggage rack....that is SO dense.....her minivan might scratch the paint on my chev K2500. It's up a couple inches and winter ready.

I WONDER WHERE ALL THOSE TOYOTA PRIUS' ARE NOW? I ASSUME THEY ARE ALL BACK IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA CUZ I DID NOT SEE A SINGLE ONE! hahahahaaha yeah a great winter car just like Honda's little 'smurf shoe' man they'll bury ya in that one! spozed to be colder tomorrow.....Look at the bright side...I have fridge space now cuz I can leave the beer on the porch as long as I bring it in before i lock up......

      I have a 1990 Honda fourtrax 300 2x4
      I rode the other day for 30-45 min. Switched it off and now it is completely dead..
      battery is fully charged, fuses are good . WILL NOT TURN OVER ,
      headlights won't turn on , No neutral, reverse or oil temp lights . Electrically it is completely dead !!! I replaced the key switch and CDI box , STILL NOTHING.
      I bypassed the neutral safety switch and grounded it to the battery and still nothing !! I used a jumper wire on the starter Solenoid , the motor will turn over but not start . I even bypassed both fuses and straight wired it to see if I could get a neutral light or headlights still nothing . What could it be ?

      Anyone  carrying  a power box when  camping with their ATV?  I built  a custom  one.  I  used a  marine  battery box that  has 2  50A Anderson Grey connector  outputs (  changed one of the greys to a red), an accessory socket  and2  USB outlets,and a battery  voltmeter ..  I  added a Pure sine wave 1,000w inverter to it and A red 120A Anderson connector to the  output  posts.. To  charge the  100Ah LiFePO4 battery  I  put in the box, I added  a DC to DC charge adapter that I  made input connectors for to allow charging the battery from a vehicle's  accessory socket  or a solar panel.   
      It  was a fun  project.. Besides  having a  1,000w power box for  120V ac , USB   and  12v accessories using the 10 A socket.  I  have  50  A  Anderson connectors  and the 120 A connector  to run  things like a  12v electric outboard   for fishing  trips .  The LiFePO4  battery  only allows a max output of 100A  so  it  can't be used for something like jump starting,  but  it  is half the weight and  delivers twice the capacity of a lead acid battery running accessories..  Commercial pow2er  boxes  don't  deliver  high draw 12v output to run things like  the  electric outboards.   That's one reason  I  custom  built  mine.   One box that serves for both camping and fishing.

      Here riding options are more limited. These are two small state trails, one is 7.5 miles, the other 7.7 miles. They are about 5 miles apart from each other so we do them both in one day. 
      They are nice, but small. 
      They are called "Maple Run" and "Burnt Mills" managed by DCNR.

      So I picked up a 1995 Yamaha warrior a while ago and it ran decent with quite a bit of power, I was able to wheelie like nobody’s business, but I noticed that the air filter box lid had bunch of holes drilled in the top and hole in the side, also the air filter itself was serving no function and there was a huge rip in it. So I got a new air box and new filter and when I installed it, the quad lost all power and acted like it was cutting out for split seconds at full throttle. For reference I think it was running rich before because it would backfire a lot so I think it’s just restricting air flow, but how would I adjust to that because I tried leaning out the carb as much as I could but it didn’t seem to do anything unless I put the other airbox lid on with the drilled holes.
      any help would be much appreciated
      Also even when I put the old lid on, it seemed like just the new air filter gave it enough restriction that it still wouldnt run right
