I don't see any tip ups!

036 is the most used. Small stuff a 028S or 026. Bigger wood 038M. Don't cut much huge stuff but have 056M and 066 for that.

I just noted I made a mistake. My battery is 780 CCA, not 870. TSC batteries are made by Interstate. I called Interstate Corp and asked the technical Rep and he said they have nothing with the CA/CCA capacity in that physical size of battery. It's BCI size/Group 2.

Yes newspaper/shopping bag works fine to cover the radiator and let the engine come up to temperature. At 5 oF it never would really warm up if you didn't. Single 6V battery + ground like they came with. Carquest used to have 870 CCA (<----typo 780CCA) 6V lead/acid batteries in BCI Group 2...

Didn't know about European Badgers. Just did a read up on those. Seem pretty diverse for habitat requirements, and occupy most all of Europe and parts of Asia. The relatives/species here just live in prairies.

Time for the tire chains.

Can you get to the battery terminals if you need to jump start it, or someone else's car/truck?

This thread has me doing flashbacks to my dirtbike/motocross days as a teenager already.........

Skim of ice on the ponds here, snowstorm today, single oF later in the week. Anybody ice fish?

I've fished the other/west side of the ocean. I don't see that type of bass. What is scientific name or common name? Looks to be good eating! We have stripped bass
