  1. Saw them on my way home from work as well. Took some pictures with my phone camera when I got home. They were nowhere near as bright for me but they were dancing pretty good. My photos are absolute garbage compared to low-1's. I was messing around with shutter speed and iso trying to make the pictures turn out right. They are a little over exposed and blurry lol.

    Was a $1.40 here in the Edmonton area on Saturday.
  5. When growing up in Ontario, I got it every year with out fail. I some how managed to get it in January when there was three feet of snow on the ground. From knees down it would blister and ooze for two or three weeks. I have also had it on my face where it swelled my eyes shut and had to take some heavy medication. Thankfully Alberta doesn't have that horrible trash. Unfortunately we have giant hogweed out here and that is pretty terrible, especially when you have dogs that don't understand to stay the fuck away from it lmao.
  6. Thank you! I didn't end up seeing your comments till I was done lol. But did pretty much everything you said. According to the paper that came with the pistons, end gap is supposed to be 0.004" per inch of bore diameter. The example they gave was 0.012" for 3". The bore was 3.18". The end gap is 0.014". The I have the wrist pin clips openings facing down and off to the side a little to cover the opening in the piston to pop them out. I am a stickler when it comes to letting my stuff warm up. I won't touch the throttle on my sled till the gauge is showing 100°f. I even let my car warm up in the summer for 5+ mins lol. Probably why my turbo Subaru hasn't blown up lmao.
  7. The cylinder with the "scuff" lines, you cannot feel them. They aren't on be just cosmetic.
  8. For reasons so convoluted and hard to explain, even I don't know why I am doing it for the most part, I am rebuilding a 700cfi. The reason it went down in the first place is a ring caught a port. That owner sold the whole sled to the guy I bought it off of. I bought the whole sled and took off what I wanted and was going to part it out. That was 3 years ago and well here I am. I have new Wiseco pistons, con rod needle bearings, used cylinders and used head, gaskets, ect. The engine has had the top end a part but sitting loosely together with no pistons on to help keep the dirt out for about a year and a half now. I have never rebuilt a two stoke before. All my limited engine experience has been limited to a couple of klr 650 top ends. I don't really want to fully rebuild this thing and sink $1000's into it. I am just tired of it sitting on my property rotting away. It is a long story to why it is there but yeah. Basically I am looking for advice, tips, suggestions to make this as cheap and painless as possible. It will be surplus to my needs but it will be nice to have a third running sled kicking around for when the occasion arises.
  9. Need some help. So i have a '06 Silverado 1500 that needs a NP261LD transfer case. I found a unit out of an '03 1500 that has around 250,000kms on it. Buddy wants $200. I have also found another transfer case that was rebuilt by a local shop that has 35,000 kms on the rebuild. They want $400 but it is out of a '01 2500hd. So the splines are different. My question is, can I just swap the main shaft and run the NP261HD case or do I need get the NP261LD case?

  15. So I recently picked up a 2006 Silverado 1500. There was a clicking noise that I could here when going through a drive thru or other places where the sound could bounce back to me. I found that a front axle was loose. It must of backed off after the previous owner had the bearing replaced 2ish years ago. For some reason gm doesn't use a staked nut or pin. I tightened the axle but unfortunately the clicking is still there. I guess the bearing is gone from being loose for who knows how long. I have a camping trip coming up and i want to get it dealt with so it doesn't cause any problems. I am looking at some options online and I am leaning towards a World Parts regular bearing for $100 or their premium bearing for $127 cad. Does anyone have any experience with world parts as a brand? Is it decent or should I steer clear? https://partsavatar.ca/worldparts-front-hub-assembly-wbr930304 https://partsavatar.ca/worldparts-front-hub-assembly-wbr930304u

    My brother in law smoked this brisket last week. I think it was like 10 hours on the smoker and another 9 hours resting. It was phenomenal

    Not a meme but thought it was funny. I thought the border was closed but maybe not?
  18. I am confused as to when Canada eliminated all hand gun ownership?
