    Hate to brag but San Diego's annual mean temperature is 64 degrees F, not too hot and not too cold. We do have snow in the mountains (about 60 miles away) occasionally, but it is still pleasant at the beach.

    Woke to a balmy -15 F this morning, and it 'warmed' up to -2 F. At least my car started right up this morning, it didn't want to yesterday at -24 F.
    Did I have a dream, or did the dream have me?

    Invest in a battery blanket. You can plug those in if you want, but not always necessary...it insulates the battery and helps improve the cold crank amps.

    Also, go to light oil... 10/30 or 15/30 is ideal for winter.

    Please do not PM me for questions related to Konica Minolta hardware.
    I will not answer requests or questions there.
    Please ask in the KM forum for the benefit of others to see the question and give their input.

    50-70 cm of snow and temperatures from -15 to -40 degrees celcius, it's a normal Norwegian winter yet again...

    Got back from a fly in gold mine in Northern Ontario on Wednesday night.
    -40c plus wind chill.
    1km walk from camp to mine site.
    2 days. 20 machines (8 colour).

    Attached is a zipped Google Earth .kmz file of the location.
    I have driven there 3 times in the winter. 10 hours from Thunder Bay. 3 of that on bush roads.

    Cancun sounds nice about now.....

    Hah, when you switch from satellite to map on google there are not even any labeled roads. Yeah, that's pretty rough! Looks like fun to me though, where do you sign up? Kinda like Ice Road Copier Techs or something...

    Yeah, roads are a little scarce in our area. What you see are logging roads which are better than the paved road from Pickle Lake down. That whole area is usually serviced from another branch. They have a couple of planes and the pilots are tech's. We service that mine as they have charters that are paid for by the mine. 9 seat Pilatus and 18 seat Beachcraft. Lap'o'Luxury. We go up the first Tuesday every month for 2 days. Have to be at the airport for 5:30am and get home about 9pm. Good overtime...

    "I need to run back to the shop for a part. I'll be right back... in two or three days." There must be a whopper of a travel charge. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
