See someone who specializes in tinnitus...Most ENT's are not helpful, I found.
What did you accomplish today?
- Thread starter 420God
- Start date
Mine was in engine rooms of ships (think two 30' long turbo'd V16 train engines screaming at full power).
The old timers would say "Don't worry about the noise, you get used to it".

Finally going to get some snow melt today, I am way past ready for spring while this winter seems like it was a little warmer here then normal it was definitely a snowier winter for us.

12 years.. To any younger ears that might read this. Wear ear and eye protection when running anything louder that a blender... You get one set of each and that's it! Ps. Sunscreen and floss too!
This is spectacular advice. I chose the ENT by the audiologist they used. You need an audiologist who understands not just reduced ability to hear but word discrimination issues. Good ones are rare as hen's teeth.

Went to watch the locals playing with fireworks on Makha Bucha day.
I wouldn't want to be sitting under these when they came back down.

Well the snow is melting and the daughter goes to daycare so i got shit to do all day. Yesterday i got all my pepper seeds started. Today i was bored as hell so i went ahead and did oil changes on the mowers. Fired up all the blowers and trimmers and made sure everything was running fine. By that time it was still only noon so i went to the car wash, got some groceries and blew some money at the army surplus store. I usually love winter but im over it this year. Im out of shit to do.
, but you're not getting photo's of that!
Congrats & lucky you - it looks like Momma and I will have to wait at least a month +!

It is hard to understand how this roll out is being administered.Congrats & lucky you - it looks like Momma and I will have to wait at least a month +!
I do believe everyone who wants to be vaccinated should be and understand that supply and demand should dictate high risk candidates be
primary recipients.
With that said, I know of folks that do not fit ANY of the high risk categories who have had a second injection.

What surprises me is how many people I have heard say they will not get the vaccine. That's their right I suppose, but I think it's going to be a requirement to do certain things...Like visit someone in a nursing home, or go on a cruise...Or maybe get invited to your in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner, lol.
I find it hard to believe as well. How many celebrities or people in politics whom do not fit into the requirements got head of the line privileges?It is hard to understand how this roll out is being administered.

@manfredo just letting you know so if you find yourself in a bind one day plowing.
The temp fix works great. And with a better way to attach to the plow it would be even better. I got the idea because they sell something similar so some googling later this is what I found.
I used a rachet strap as a donor strap. The hook sucked because it fell off. But that only lasted for a bit......my glove hit the "in" on accident when I was backing up and riped the webbing.......but I tied it on to the loop on the plow and didn't have any other problems with the hook falling off.
1. Pull off all your cable
2. Put a piece of duct tape on the drum through your fairlead and let the tape hang out from the fairlead like a tongue.
3. Lay the webbing on the tape and power in the winch.
Conclusion....it works. Better webbing and a shackle would be the way to do it. I'm definitely buying one or making something for next season.

I've got spectra on my winch - in the winter I take the hook off & use one of these. They NEVER fall off.

Are you running a cable or what when plowing?
Spectra line - it looks similar to double braid but for it's diameter it is stronger than wire rope.

Great idea, and I saw where they sell new fairleads for cheap...Mine uses thus style. They say you should replace it if switching from steel cable as they get so chewed up.
You'll laugh at me, but the past 2-3 year, I tie the steel winch cable to the plow...and it does NOT come off or break til spring. Well not at that location anyways, lol.
I just ran to Lowes a few weeks back and bought 20' of steel cable off the spool, which will get me through this winter..My fairlead was chewed up bad and I repaired it with 1/2'' black steel pipe...fit perfect!! And no more chewing up cable...But for $15 I'm buying a new unit in the summer!
