    My heart attack in ND cost my insurance co 256000 including 56000 for a 45 mile helicopter ride on the Saturday before Easter 2017.
    That did include flying me home 15 day later by air ambulance but that was mostly paid by Sask Health(I think 80/20)

    Thanks - I knew someone here would have real costs.

    Isn’t that crazy though - $56k for a half hour chopper flight?

    I hope Martin comes back. Last post of his that I saw said he was done. He's a great resource. I keep in touch with him from time to time via text. Some people might not know it but the W900A I'm restoring was actually the first truck Martin owned. Just pure dumb luck that he stumbled onto my thread and found it. I'll be passing through his area in a few weeks and I'll say hi to him from everyone if we end up meeting up.

    I’ll be honest - they’re not far from me. I can’t stand them.

    I’ve spent several $k there in the last 5 years - I never had cable so never saw the ‘Chrome Shop Mafia ‘ deal, but it seems like they think they’re ‘better than y’all’ when you go in - and the sales staff is on commission. They’ll hang you out all day for service.

    I ain’t got zero patience when I’ve got dollars to spend. Rather shop on line and wait than suffer their grandiose attitude.

    Wrong parts - poor quality - No returns - ’ll go elsewhere, places that didn’t have a TV show I guess.

    Just my local opinion.

    I enjoy the technical resources here - some smart buggers here.

    No apology needed.

    We won’t ever all agree on politics — or anything for that matter.

    Edit: i do, however, find it interesting that you label it as misinformation when it comes from a right news source.... can sit here and throw out a bunch of websites across the spectrum that have reported the same thing in previous years.

    Just my two cents.

    I never said our system was better or the right way. Grass always looks greener across the fence, or in this case, the pond.

    With a possible exception once in awhile.
    Such as, the rest of us are in agreement that you're nuts about your intense dislike of butter.
