    Yeah, crappy roads or drivers can do it too. Usually the people notice when it's wrong that way, though. Steering wheel's not straight, the car pulls, etc. When it's just dogwalking you can't tell from inside the car (unless it's REALLY bad) but you still wear tires funny.

    Morning all.
    Reminded last night of why I hate dealing with the people of Ebay. The brake shoe kit I ordered for the ATV came in, but without the springs (and the springs are what I actually needed in the first place; the shoes are still OK but the springs are rusted to hell and one is broken). Somebody opened the blister pack up, pulled the springs, and then shipped the shoes. :frusty:

    So now I've got to deal with the seller, which usually takes forever to get a response, and they'll have to either ship me new springs or ship me a new kit and have me send this one back. Either way, it'll probably mean at least an extra week of waiting for parts.

    Hey everyone. Just an update from my situation on the MA Firearms LTC update. (For those who joined in the convo a couple weeks back:

    I emailed the chief wanting an explantion on why mine is restricted despite my background and experience and he got his secretary to give me a call.

    well the explanation from her is that in Quincy, MA they give out unrestricted to age 25 and up. I’m 24 and turning 25 sept.

    It is what it is I guess I just have to wait till than. It is still absurd that they don’t take into consideration on the applicants real world experience and proficiency in handling firearms. It’s just simply an age thing they take into factor. Welcome to MA I guess...

    Oh just you wait.... :D

    PS - Rhode Island is like a little concentrated Massachusetts. We talk funnier, drive worse, more taxes, more government shenanigans and corruption. Hell, just look up Buddy Cianci, he got removed from office for mob shenanigans and then, F it, let's re-elect him! That story is amazing. Roads are worse, since we're south of that rain/snow line, up north they expect to have to rebuild the roads all the time. Down here, we get the same freeze/thaw effects but "we're south of the worst so we don't have to rebuild" as roads are scrapping oil pans and tires left and right.

    It's a fun place.

    Would that be something I would notice at idle as well? I only notice it somewhat intermittently at highway speed.

    No they don't need to be in bags. I'll have a trailer to keep them dry.

    Got it! Nothing on startup that I've noticed. I can try checking the pulleys

    Have you ever changed the belt? Honestly if nothing else take the belt off and replace it. Assuming you've got the 2012 in your signature is probably time anyways. I'd be willing to bet the idler needs to be replaced. Both are super easy to do.

    Can't hurt to do the belt anyway especially as we approach cold weather. My idler was okay on mine at 112K
