I love to ice fish & do some other activities outdoors.</blockquote
That a nice crappie you got there! Love to fish, do it every weekend during the warm months here in Ohio. Lots of tourney fishing for money too. Pic is of my last tourney winners.20170627_113145-1 (1) (resized).jpg
Nice radios! Do you happen to have a cap list for a zenith 8S661? I have been meaning to fix mine for years, the schematics are hard to read the values.
Quoted from scampcamp:To me... it pretty much feels the same when it gets down to gets below 5 F
It helps keeping the riffraff out... or a lot of it anyways.
I love to ice fish & do some other activities outdoors. I’m glad I have other indoors hobbies... pinball.. old tube radios etc.

Those radios are so cool! I want to get a wood countertop model someday.

Thanks. I’ve learned the Pinball collector crowd are much more fun to hang around.

Thank you, if I can’t find a parts list on a schematic I’ll call a guy that usually will make up a kit. It costs a little more but not much.
Here’s a page where you can download the schematic.

Quoted from hwyhed:I got my 1st round of golf in on Sunday..it was maybe 4 Celsius, or low 40’s..toque was on my head all day, a lil dew/frost was on the fairways. I ain’t waiting for no 10 Celsius/50 degrees ..
Yeah it was a nice weekend across the board I think. +8 in Jasper for a hockey tournament I was playing in. The ice was soft needless to say
You Canadians definitely have it worse than us on a consistent basis. We're nearing a record low tonight of -29F (-30F is the record in 1887) in Minneapolis, with wind chills at about -55F. Of course on Saturday, it's supposed to be 37F, which is a 66 degree turnaround in three days. Crazy weather.
Quoted from AFM95:electrocute & pinbum
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous about where you live.
Drove thru Minneapolis/ St. Paul in the summertime many years ago. Felt jealous, very nice time of the year up there.
You guys need to keep that shit up north where it belongs. Tomorrow morning here in st louis its gonna be -3 and the wind chill is supposed to be -27. Pretty damn sure the boiling water trick would work here if I had any intentions of actually going out in that crap.

Well, I would say for the most part we’re in the same boat especially if you live in Northern Minnesota... certainly brethren when it comes to winter punishment. The majority of Canada’s major populated areas are consistently warmer than MN in the wintertime. There are exceptions of course (see pics). And I can’t even imagine what -81F (-63C) would begin to feel like. I’ve personally experienced -32F (-35.6C) and pretty sure we’re going to beat that this week at our cabin.

Here in Edmonton really cold winter days are in around -30/-35 degrees C. However, we had one night in 2009 -46 C ( -51 F).... my fan belt on my furnace broke that night. You could see your breath in the house within 3-4 hours of it breaking.

I grew up in northern Minnesota and the coldest day I can remember was in January 2004 and the bank clock said -35 in the middle of the afternoon. That image is engraved in my head because it seemed so unbelievable at the time. I was helping my sister shop for a used vehicle and the dealer had to pull it in to their shop overnight to let it thaw out.
Quoted from pinbum:What happened to global warming?

Quoted from BillySastard:I grew up in northern Minnesota and the coldest day I can remember was in January 2004 ...
Funny I was just talking to a guy aboot January 18-19 1994 which was the coldest we could remember. We were both in college and went to an 8am classes, I rode a bike probably 2-3 miles and it was like -40WC or some shit. It was warmer the next day but they canceled classes.
It was renamed Global Climate Change like 20 years ago...you know when the world started exhibiting a bunch of climate changes.

We deal with these harsh winters for the amazing summers. Or at least that is what I keep telling myself.
Quoted from TheLaw:Got 3 paid days off this week...thanks Polar Vortex!!!
Are you a teacher?
If so, these children are in trouble... 
Quoted from TheLaw:Ha! No I actually work all year
Someone once asked Henry Ford "How many people work for you"?
His answer:
Aboot half.
Quoted from benheck:Met some people for dinner and the bar had a sign "Closed tomorrow due to cold" haven't seen that before!
Supposed to hit -25 here in Wisconsin tomorrow morning. Lame!
I've never heard of that either.
They are cancelling mail service tomorrow in Minnesota, Iowa, western Wisconsin and western Illinois. That makes a little more sense.
Quoted from TheLaw:Well guys, what we've learned is the freezing point of Soy is much higher than Milk
Lower? Lol
Quoted from MrBally:Fargo, the former home of a Gottlieb factory.....
I work with some ladies that worked there, I've always wanted to take them out and pick their brains a bit.
