he stated it would take him 9 trips to get that money back......I wonder if he doesn't get a little help to eleviate the cost from the show or the government if he has to pay a dime of it....

Just watched new episode last night. Had to avoid this thread until I saw it.

I thought TJ going to the ER room was kind of weak. I was waiting for some thing serious. If you are back out in six hour after a media vac and ambulance ride, it was not that major of an issue. I figure a little T.V. drama or T.J. is like my wife (going to ER room for the flu).

I think Hugh runs junk trucks. Well, at least his drivers run junk trucks. I think Drew was leaving South Paw shop to go get gas when he ran out of gas. I mean, come on! I was in the automotive repair field for many years. I would never send a customer right to gas station on fumes. I also would never tell a customer I am going to punch you in the mouth for a quick comment about breaking down after just leaving my shop. I think Drew should have clocked him right then and there. But it does seem Drew is a kind of person who talks allot when he is alone, but clams up when confronted. Hugh will get what is coming to him. You scrape the bottom of the barrel; you get what was at the bottom of the barrel.

I think the only driver that seems like he has a decent head on his shoulders is Alex. He seems pretty easy going and makes money. I think he will win.

I think they said that TJ didn't have health insurance. I don't know how the Canadian health care system works, but maybe you can opt out of paying a health care tax if you wish to not have health insurance. Not sure how it operates, just a hunch.

I've always wondered about how Canadas health care system works so I did some reading online. I found this on wikipedia.

"Canada is unusual in that the government pays for almost 100% of hospital and physician care, but contributes very little in areas such as prescription drug costs, dental care and Emergency Medical Services."

Hugh does run some junk trucks. You would think they would have some kind of saftey standards and inspection to make sure these trucks are road worthy.

Every time I watch this show I think to myself, are truckers weird or does trucking make you weird........

I would say a little of both. grin.gif

I thought last weeks show was weak. Beside alex's run to the gold mines, it was just about being stuck in a snow storm. I think I am thinking of the correct episode?

Shoot! Missed that one.

Got to see the last show the other night. That one was pretty good. This weekend is the last of this season. I think they recap with drivers.

Whens new season start?

When it get's cold enough for the lakes to freeze again. You know that was coming.

Probably not until this time next year I suppose.

Actually said at end of last episode, COMING SOON- SEASON 2

So, ice road freezes in 6 months + 3 months of filming + 6 months of editing= Coming Soon? I don't think so, more likely instead of them following just those 6 truckers around they followed 12 or more and shot another season at same time if not a 3rd.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
