It's a huge thing to make 100k posts. Even if it's mostly BSing! Roy wins the most posts in the thread! Thank you all for making this thread different. It's been a big part of my life the last decade or so! Wish we could get more of the old schoolers to post more, but they are busy and have a lot of things competing for their time. I certainly get it. I'm just greedy.
Last day of work for the year for me. I'm looking forward to 10 days off. Plan on lots of maintenance and upgrades to the RZR. Doing the shifter, front end is getting rebuilt, all the fluids, filters, plugs, tires and some different camera mounts. Might make a video or two.
Wow..... Christmas day is almost here. I am so far behind on everything.....
I still have to decorate the tree..... Maybe I should spray paint it with all the colors I have..... Hummmm..... That'll work....
POD: (Plan Of the Day)
Continue working on the Montana 5th wheel.
Tree decorated.....
Make something simple for dinner.
Left Newport Wednesday morning for Bravo. Got mail and packages that had been forwarded that weren’t supposed to be. Got back to Alpha last night.
Have to get some stuff dropped off with family and friends here at Alpha and finish getting the camper ready for 2-1/2 - 3 week trip. Later today, probably this evening, we’ll be taking off for NAS Whidbey. Would like to be at least as far as Lacey tonight before stopping. I don’t see us making it all the way to Whidbey tonight. So, I suspect it will be a rest area or lot docking at Cabela’s tonight.
Jim, we’re wishing the best and keeping your wife in our thoughts and prayers.
Fridge is working again! We will trust it as much as a wet fart!
If it keeps failing, I would start checking the circuit it's on. Is the board failing due to a surge or maybe low voltage? I'm no electrician so I don't know what to look at beyond that.
Another load of lumber, 2, 16 foot and 1, 12 foot 6x12 glue lam beams, 1, 6 x 12 10 foot OSB glue lam beam, 3 2 x 12 x 12 foot pressure treated, 3 6x8 x 12 foot beams.
$36.00 for everything.
I think I have enough material to build a 9x16 mezzanine, under $200.00
one of my backhoe trailers has probably $2,000.00 worth of lumber on it that I have paid less than $200.00 for.
today's haul
My former boss (and still a friend) is good at stumbling upon deals like that at the big box stores. I'm never in the right place at the right time. Especially during hunting season.
Christmas is almost here and we still have no snow at all.
I don't ever remember a year like this.
Hopefully there is snow in the mountains, we will load up and head 5 hours west
Howdy Darren, no snow here either, the lakes are frozen so guys can go ice fishing tho .........
have a great w/e truckers
Same here Gerry. We did some skating last weekend. I am getting too old ... my feet can only handle about 20 minutes.
Maybe do some fishing.
3 weeks ago I saw this crazy lady wayyyyyy out on the lake. We were skating near shore where it had been frozen for a while and was about 5" thick.
She came over and I told here that where she was skating was open water 2 days ago.
She said it was fine, she skated on thinner ice than that.
It could not have been more that an inch thick out there and it's 40' deep.
Anyway I guess she survived ... I never heard anything.
