Midwest Post Hor Thread

[j21black]

I sent her the link. Have to wait till she's off work to see if it's something shes interested in.

Thanks man!

The cool thing is they are completely removable and if you need it on a tractor for summer you can set it up and leave it. Need it for a snow machine in winter, unbolt it and attached it to your snow machine. No drilling required for most apps.

I will likely end up grabbing another one at some point.

Could have used that when I was heating my house with wood. Tree guys use a similar setup, just a bigger scabbard.

Yeah, he told me the mold to have different sized scabbards made was an insane cost, something like 10 or 20k. I've slept since then but it was expensive. He has them all set up to fit a 20" bar - If you are smaller, no big deal. If you at longer, just cut the end out. When his sales increase to a point that makes it worth it, I expect him to spend the coin to make it fit different sized bars.

What did y'all do with triple b?

Been busy getting the double wide squared away so we can list it for sale. On a side note I’ve asked RDP for a Midwest section, hopefully he can come thru for us
Also looks like the drive north will be Thursday or Friday takeoff, plus driving with Ellie will require stops and a night in a hotel

 

[Headless hula]

I guess I dont see a need for a separate section. We going to post up asparagus picking meetups there?

 

[Headless hula]

Poptart asked me to come to a meeting she has scheduled with WPS. They're burying natural gas by her and her moms place. She'll need to replace her gas cooktop and built in oven. They're original to the house circa 1960ish? There wont be a conversion kit available to go from l.p..... her water heater and forced air furnace are new enough that those wont be an issue.

I think I have her convinced to go with an electric double oven vs a gas model.

I see a snowball growing over there. She wants to remodel her kitchen and open up a few walls. Yikes.....

We’re going to miss you neighbor. You’ve been a wealth of good Keys info the past 5 years in our conversations. I do pay attention. If you guys ever feel nostalgic you are always welcome to stay in our single wide.

Electric for the ovens, agreed, much more consistent.. but NG for the cooktop, water heater and furnace.

Most older model appliances still have "jets (like a carburetor) " for LP and are the same style as they have been for a long time. So I would look into it if she has appliances that might be able to be converted, especially the furnace! Jmo

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

Just reread your post.. disregard whatever I said.. lol I see the furnace and water heater are good to convert and sounds like a new oven and cook top are in her future..lol

 

[Headless hula]

Helping poptart make some wood.

Just cleaning up some dead falls.

1 tank of gas is enough for this afternoon.

You have to have walked behind someone to know what those are.

 

[Headless hula]

[Headless hula]

That's a nice stack of BTU's! If its anything like last winter, it should take you through a week or two

What did she think about the SawHaul?

Had a friend die of cancer last night. Got a phone call around 8:30 informing me.

My brother’s wife (31 years old) has been having liver issues for a few months, and they put her in ICU last night with kidney failure.

2019 sucks. Hug your loved ones.

Ready for wheels up to get back home.

Sorry to read about your friend.

I think she wants one for the rops.

 

[snowhammer]

Condolences John, sorry to hear about your friend.

Thanks man - Wheels up at 1pm unless I can hit the FBO a little sooner. Houston Sucks.

 

[Headless hula]

Poptart is usually happy if she gets 2 bucket loads cut and hauled.

Just finished the 8th.

 

[Headless hula]

Dropped 1 dead oak. Probably 18-20" at the base. Shell burn anything at least an inch and a half around, so there sure isn't much brush left.

This little woods used to be pasture.

 

[Headless hula]

Pile is a little bigger than it was yesterday.

 

[j21black]

And we are off.

Looks like a good start to the day.

Good morning guys.

 

[Blue Oval]

Happy Maythirds Day!

 

[Headless hula]

Got a transom install party lined up for next Saturday morning.

 

[Headless hula]

Just spoke with the old Indian. He's in Georgia, towing the porch north.

If you know what that means, you know what I'm telling ya.
He figures on making cheeseland tomorrow. Ellie needs her regular pit stops.

 

[Headless hula]

Lucky wants to go for a boat ride. Fuel pump has been acting up. Replaced a few goodies.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

I've replaced a few of those... Black Max?

 

[Headless hula]

I figure it needs a coil. It's down a hole.

It woke up for a few seconds, then shit the bed again. Had to lay on the bow to get it on plane.

 

[Headless hula]

It's an old ass 200. Triple 2 bbl carbs.
Got plenty of go juice. Not enough fire...

 

[Headless hula]

Made it back home.

Another shitty day on the lake.

 

[Headless hula]

I ran up to Menards and picked up some grout and a new lawn mower, since the grocery store is in the same parking lot I swing through there and picked up some brats too. Going to be a gorgeous day to cook on the grill.

This is a picture of driving down my road.

 

[Headless hula]

Waiting on charcoal. Time for some brats.

 

[snowhammer]

Just got the yard mowed and rolled.

 

[Headless hula]

Neighbor is LITERALLY lashing 2 canoes together with 2x4's....

This ought to be entertaining.....

 

[Headless hula]

In other news, the channel is 44' wide.

Contemplating a steel bridge that'll clear pontoon traffic......

 

[Headless hula]

Just tossed the battery in the jet bote. Cranked right up. Might have to throw some go juice in that and see how bad the leak is.

 

[RichL]

Waited most of the day for the temps to come up some, the foggy drizzle to stop, and things to dry up a little so I could work on the pontoon. Soon as I got started on it the rain started again.

Especially entertaining if that gas can is for fueling up an engine on that tandem canoe tunnel boat

4 ratchet straps and 2 chunks of 2x4.....

Wish he'd hang a 35 on it. That'd be fuckin awesome.

Good morning. Off to our annual spring clean up at the Boat Club.
