Hadn't thought about the grain elevators, but I suppose there could be some applications there.

 

The farmers around here can't afford $500.00/hour for a company to come from Portland and do the work. I know I can rent it out...

 

Well........It's so slow around here this morning I guess I'll go get some work done. Have a great day guys!

 

Have a good day Don. Between reading ORS's and putting camping gear away from another aborted camping trip, I think I'll just sulk today!

 

Good morning Oregon,

Happy Labor Day Everyone.

 

This place IS dead today............time to play with new camper!

 

Finishing up the work in Winnett MT......

New door installed..........










Old door...........













Have fun folks...........

Happy birthday Melody......60 yrs old is a very good year ....

 

Afternoon gang, spent the weekend in Graham Wa. The boys had a region race up there. Rained a lot on Saturday, so we no track time or qualifying; went right into the A mains on Sunday. One of the boys was real loose and the other was to tight. They finished 2nd and third. Fun weekend!! Got back to Portland at 0200 this morning and got a few hours of sleep and back to Prineville at 1300.

 

That designed this POS contraption!

What was he thinking!!!

Found under a ton of stuff in Eddies building, and he doesn't even remember where he got it.....

 

Howdy everyone! I'm still alive!

Work and family has been keeping me busy. I got the 4 year term position with BLM I was hoping for, which is nice except for all the extra money disappearing from my paycheck for healthcare and retirement now. I'll be working full time through the 20th of this month, then back at OSU for one more term of school. Only 4 more classes before I graduate!

 

Evening gang.

My wife daughter and I went on a 5 mile hike. It was a really nice day for it... except for the traffic.

 

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Home from the farm. Killed 5 ears of corn two big boy tomatoes and my stomach.

Going out to wash the dust off the car now.

 

Lotsa progress on the camper, first issues all cleared up, got all the running lights working, now I got to find out why the pilot light won't stay lit on the H2O heater and fix the leak from the city water connection to the sink.

 

Sounds like you just about have her licked. For what it is worth, my water heater does not have a pilot light on it. It has an electronic ignition controlled by the water heater switch and a thermostat. There is an audible click or snap and then sounds like a blow torch when it lights off. The only pilot light in our camper is in the oven.

 

Mine's not that high-brow.........you have to stick a long lighter in it and light the pilot.
The water leak damn near became a catastrophe, didn't see the fitting that goes to the city-water connection was off (some type of push-lock fitting that's messed up)............got about 1-2 gallons leaked under the counter before I could get back in there and shut it off........nice mess.
