Snowmobile Crash: March 16, 2023: Deputy Jordan Ulbricht responded to a snowmobile crash on the Wobegon Trail in Grove Twp. The caller gave their location as being near mile marker 106. Deputy Ulbricht was able to map this and coordinated a response with the Melrose Police Department and the Melrose Fire Department. Deputy Ulbricht and Melrose Officer Matt McDonald along with members of the fire department walked the trail from Co. Rd. 65 east of Melrose, while other fire department members came in from 319th Ave. further to the east. After about a half mile they came upon the scene.

Stearns Co. Sheriff’s Office was found leaning on the track of his sled. He had an obvious and significant injury to his left lower leg and ankle area. The Melrose Fire Department provided treatment on scene and then used their Argo ATV to bring him back to Co. Rd. 65 where Melrose Ambulance members took over care and transported him to the CentraCare Hospital in Melrose. Tiemann was conscious and alert most of the time and was able to speak with rescuers on scene and Deputy Ulbricht at the hospital as well. Tiemann was wearing proper equipment and a helmet at the time of the crash. The snowmobile season is near it’s end, as the warm temperatures won’t do much good for the sledding conditions. If you are going out these next few weeks, please remember that the conditions can vary greatly in a short distance. Be safe.

Brett Tiemann, 40, of Albany, had been operating his 2021 Ski-Doo eastbound on the Wobegon Trail. He and two other riders were heading from Melrose to Albany.

Tiemann indicated he had gone to the left of the trail into the ditch area, and believes his ski went through some soft snow and then under some hard packed snow. This caused the snowmobile to tip and Tiemann said he was thrown off. When rescuers arrived, Tiemann

Sudoku is one of the most popular puzzle games of all time. The goal of Sudoku is to fill a 9×9 grid with numbers so that each row, column and 3×3 section contain all of the digits between 1 and 9. As a logic puzzle, Sudoku is also an excellent brain game.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey

Dear Dave, I’m going to sell a rental cabin I own, and the sale should bring me about $388,000. Should I take the proceeds from the sale and use it to pay off my home and other debt or use the money to buy another, similar rental property where I could collect about $1,500 per month in rent? Right now, I owe $200,000 on my home, and I have just under $50,000 in miscellaneous debt.

Dear Valerie,

-Valerie

Let me start by asking you a question. If your home were paid for and you didn’t have a mortgage at all, would you take out a loan against your home to buy a rental property?

Let me give you a hint. The answer should be a big, fat no.

The shortest distance between where you are right now and a high-quality financial life—including wealth building—is getting your home and other debt paid off. Then, use the cash flow that’s freed up, and the increased peace of mind, to rapidly pile up a bunch of money and buy another rental property.

There’s nothing wrong with owning rental properties and other kinds of real estate, Valerie. I love real estate, and today, I have

several rental properties of my own. The difference is I bought all of mine with cash. I didn’t go into debt for them. I learned my lesson about debt the hard way over 30 years ago, and I don’t want you to take a chance on suffering through all that crap too.

Use the money from the sale of the cabin to pay off your home and other debt, and to make sure you’ve got a solid emergency fund of 3–6 months of expenses set aside. After that, if you want to start saving aggressively for another rental, go for it. Just make sure it’s a smart buy when the time comes and that you pay for it in cash!

Dear Motor Medics,

My name is Clarence I live in Entiat, WA, and I listen to your Under

The Hood show on podcast. I am rebuilding a 2.0 liter engine out of a 1976 VW bus. This engine is a solid lifter engine and I've heard I need to use a Zink additive to protect the engine but is there anything other than good oil that will help extend the life of my rebuild? It's an air-cooled engine so it does run a little hotter than your normal car engine. Thanks for the show, I enjoy it very much. I recently found it on radio and I’m 1/2 way through the archived podcasts and look forward to my drive to work every day to be able to listen to the show.

-Clarence in Entiat, Washington Dear Clarence, Those old VW engines were fun to work on. We still get a fair amount of email and calls about them. You are right on track with the zinc additive or the ZDDP replacement additive. All engines can benefit from the high-pressure wear protection that the ZDDP additive provides but in the case of older engines without roller camshafts like the ones found in this VW and older hot rods and collector cars it is a must or parts like the camshaft will wear quickly and can destroy the engine. The additive found at parts stores and a good quality oil should help it to last.

-Take care, the Motor Medics Dear Motor Medics, Hello gents. I've been listening to your Under The Hood radio show podcast down here in Australia for a few months now and figured I've got nothing to lose by contacting you. I have a 1997 BMW E36 323i with 172.000 km. My problem is I have no hot air from the heater. Only ambient temperature or ice-cold air conditioning. Can you help me? It gets mighty cold down here. Thanks heaps guys!

-Jason in Werribee Victoria, Australia Dear Jason, Thanks for listening down there! For some reason we here in the states don't always think about how cold it gets in Australia but we're sure you do with no heat. Even though you have a BMW, and the steering wheel is on the other side of the dash, the problem you have is relative to all cars. You need to have hot water running through the heater core and air directed through it without bypassing so that it warms the interior. Our first step is to verify the engine thermostat keeps the engine at proper temp and if not, you must fix that first. Second, make sure the air door opens and closes in the dash. This can take a little you tube research to find and check. Third, the core needs to be clean. You can try to flush it with a garden hose both directions several times and if that helps, it indicates you have a restricted core.
