I had a situation last weekend. I fished all day Saturday pulling my portable from place to place behind a snowmobile with the auger strapped on top. There was alot of fresh snow and the auger was covered with it each time I stopped. I was able to cut holes all day with no problem. Overnight, I brought the auger in to let it thaw. By morning, it was only partially thawed out. The room was not warm enough. I was going to fish another lake (by truck) and when I got to my spot and got the auger ready to drill, I couldn't pull the start cord-it was frozen I figured since the partially unthawed powerhead parts re-froze on the way to the lake. I cranked up the heat in the truck to full blast and set the powerhead end of the auger on the floor in the passenger side floor and covered it with a jacket. In ten minutes or so, I was able to start the thing once the recoil starter was free. Then the throttle was inop. So I put the auger back in the truck for another ten minutes and thawed that. Then all was ok.....Long story short-if these things get full of ice and snow-get them inside where it's warm enough to completely thaw and dry them overnight. I think alot of these recoils break because they're frozen and then get forced out of disgust and break. The part that engages the flywheel is plastic and won't take much force to break. My auger is a Lazer Mag but I think this would be true with any machine.....T
I really don't care about that.
Sad to say the best chance of a championship at the moment in this state is the Twolves.
Used to be such the fan, but the NBA lost me with the pick and roll.
But I'll watch come playoff time.
If KAT can't play worth a darn , the playoff run won't last long.
I thought I couldn’t dislike Glenn Taylor any more than I already did until today:
Glen Taylor with @ChadHartmanShow when asked if the reason for this happening is because the franchise might be worth double what he was selling it for:
"Partly so, yes. I have a responsibility to those who have been on this ride for the last 40 years."
Sellers remorse for sure but too bad for him the deal was inked 3 years ago. Hopefully the league has a way to arbitrate so it doesn’t go to court, but we will see.
