Well, calcium chloride can take its toll on steel over time, and the deere guy just mentioned beet juice to me because he says it don't freeze and supposedly more guys are going to it...if he aint pulling my leg. Maybe its a green thing, and I don't mean deere green thing so much as green green thing. Currently I'm running calcium chloride. I didn't ask him how much beet juice goes for, but with a set of new rims, I might consider it with or opposed to the iron weights. By the way, speaking of green green, I was working at a power plant today and one of the sparkies was going around replacing the florescent bulbs with smaller diameter bulbs that used the same fixtures, so I asked what was up. He pointed to the green ends on the new bulbs and said "They're green bulbs". Supposedly, don't have the same amount of hazardous material (mercury, etc), so can throw them in the trash as opposed to calling the hazmat guys to dispose, and supposedly consume less power. I asked what they go for, and he chuckled that since were green...probably a lot more green. Could be. One thing's for sure, they were bright as all get out, but many flickered like strobe lights and the old ones didn't. Heck, I got sunburned.
