How's the weather there in Canada my friend? I'm. Going to re read your post on gear ratios. I'm fairly good with math but sometimes things take awhile for me to understand.
Best winter ever!
I've never in my life (70+ years) seen anything like it!. Warm all the time. Even night time temps hovering near zero, and very little snow. The fields are currently bare, with only a little snow in the ditches.
I just noticed, St Louis is about 16 hours nearly due South from my place; and I bet it's warmer up here this winter, lol.
I'm 70 now so retired last fall. I got nothing but time from here to the grave; so patience is my middle name. Feel free to PM me, I made some room in my inbox.
