Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Tell me about it, I am trying to convince my wife I would be better off
medically if I was sitting at the side of the lake up north of you on

back until next Wednesday....
And yes, that was the yoke I was thinking about.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Wouldn't you be better off, medically, if you were floating on a raft in the

hydrated?

Re: Dana 30 gear noise (Now Gone Fishin')
Yup, and my wife just called from work to agree! I am packing for a
week camping and fishing in the bush. Bringing all of the listed
ingredients too... :-)
Hey Peter, I am going to be at Little Merril or Whitefish for the week
if you feel like doing a trail run and dropping by. Be there until
Tuesday likely.
Same for anyone else that knows the area we normally bush run in.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise (Now Gone Fishin')
Yup, and my wife just called from work to agree! I am packing for a
week camping and fishing in the bush. Bringing all of the listed
ingredients too... :-)
Hey Peter, I am going to be at Little Merril or Whitefish for the week
if you feel like doing a trail run and dropping by. Be there until

Same for anyone else that knows the area we normally bush run in.
