    I liked Drum, for the most part. Field time really sucked, but I got into some skiing and snowmobiling there, the hunting up there was fantastic... lot more bulk in an Upstate NY deer than a Mississippi deer... Kingston was only 45 minutes away, Ottawa was only two hours away, Syracuse was slightly more than an hour away, and if you wanted to go to the city, that was about five hours away.

    Your ears are ringing because you have inner ear damage. One time I was at a concert, didn't wear earplugs, for 4 hours I was in the pit next to the bass. I tried to sleep that night, ears kept ringing, still hurt the next day, but then i went to the doctor, did an ear test and all, said that it will recover, but how it works is that there is now damage in the inner ear, so as you grow older, your hearing will get worse. should invest in earplugs if your ears are ringing every night.

    I don't mind people that idle or reefers but if the purge valve on the air dryer is spastic then it's a problem.

    constant ringing/wind noise in the ears?-the condition is tinnitus more than likely. i may have spelled that incorrectly. have it looked into and perhaps slow the progression down. googleboy may interject and set us straight-

    I have a philosophy in life, I try to leave people alone unless they are doing something that actually hurts me. You want to idle your truck all night, fine with me, It's not my fuel bill.

    I don't mind idling because it's cold and some people don't have a choice. I had to sleep next to drop/swap musical trailers last night and the back-up beeps, brake discharges and 'rev-rev-bumps' got obnoxious. For some reason, drivers felt the need it get out and talk as loudly as possible, too. At least nobody knocked on the door.

    If I'm idling because it's stupid hot or stupid cold outside then no I don't mind. If it's sunny and 65 degrees hell yeah I mind.
