A fellow employee just had his tractor tires filled with beet juice, apparently it doesn’t freeze, condense or expand. Each tire/rim weighed around 300 lbs when filled.

Dunno if it's beet juice, but there's some form of liquid derived from beets that they spread on the roads here prior to snowfall to help with melting or removal or something.

Interesting. My rear tires, inner tubes, are filled to the top of the rims with calcium chloride. We use it on this hilly land to keep the tractor from tipping over. If an inner tube leaks there is salt everywhere and rusty rim internals. I do not fill the front tires.

If I need to change a rear tire I will use beet juice to replace the calcium chloride.

The Cities That Battle Winter With Beets

Too much road salt can pollute urban waterways and damage vehicles. To de-ice roads, some cities are looking for greener alternatives, of a vegetable nature.

^^ Looks like a 190 with a tandem axle trailer. Interesting.

It looks like there's transom straps on that thing, maybe it's a bigger model, or perhaps the trailer is/was for another boat? Regardless, it looks like it's riding nicely on that thing. I think you were talking about having issues with the boat centering on the trailer, and that one looks bang on.

put for sunset this afternoon... water was 80.5....

Thats the worst feeling when you're heading to work, and somebody passes you with a boat on a nice day. Especially if its a good fishing day.... That looks like a 210 to me with dual throttles. The back of the boat pictured has some glare to me, hard to tell how many pumps.

Close to records here from what they are saying on the news.

I’m trying to get out into Tampa Bay this weekend. I think the water is still a little too cold to go to Egmont Key and anchor to walk the beach. Any day on the water is a good do tho.

I wouldn’t stand in the water for an extended period of time but it’s fine to jump in to walk to an island. I was in it last weekend.

It’s a 210…. You can tell by the location of the ladder and the clean out hatch seams, and I know the pumps are hard to see but you can see the two whitish colored zinc anodes..
