Lucky you Troy! It's cloudy here, this morning for about a half hour the sun looked like it was going to show, but to no avail. No such luck for the rest of the day either!

Hopefully now that we got the POS dilemma solved and our house is getting closer to being done. I see the surgeon on the 9th and I am going to tell him to KMA. Last but not least I am in need of some glow plugs, not sure when the next GTG is but up here in GF it was 36 after it sat all day and she blew some massive white smoke. I will get them ordered up when I get home. I also found someone who I think will fix my bumper before it starts getting any worse. He said the welds were ground down to much that is why it has 100's of pinholes in it. They will also acid wash it and powder coat it too. They actually did our railings on the new stairs in our house and they are phenomenal.........Have a good night........
LOL!! Lee x 3

Hey Tom, good to see you checking in on us in here. I told you that damn game can be addicting, you most likely will get tired of it. Good to hear the house is almost done and the POS is gone. Tell that surgeon off good.
I'm up for a GTG anytime, maybe the same time i do the up pipes in mine? Good to hear you can get the bumper fixed, sucks it is at your expense though. The only way for welds to be ground down too much(IMO) is if they weren't done right to start with. Sounds like there was little or no chamfer on the edges of the pieces and maybe some porosity in the welds.

Does anyonr know if the water heater plug is the same on the campers. I need a socket but not surewhat size. The plug measures 1", so i guessed 1-1/8".
Sounds like every time it is windy you end up with soffit panels coming off. Sooner or later you will get them all nailed back on properly.

The water heater plug in mine uses a 7/8" socket for removal.

Cool. A litle spendy for me though. It might be worth it if you get to let loose some rounds out of the gun

Hey everyone!!! Hope everyone has been having a good one! We have one more day until the weekend if we can just hold on a little longer! I'm pumped! Going out to get a little grouse hunting done and will probably hit the rifle range as well! What are everyone else's weekend plans?

A special thanks again to Dave. He got a good deal on some ATV parts for my buddies Honda which we started putting back together tonight. Thanks again Dave. YOU DA MAN!

Evening guys. Fighting off some type of flu. Was tired all afternoon with a headache. Got home about 4 and sat down for a minunte, woke up at 9. Long minute, but feel better, but won't be able to sleep.

My water heater plug is 1 1/8", I believe if it is a water heater with electric option it is 1 1/8", if it is not optional electric it is 7/8".

That must be 3 hr 33 minute drive for you to Pine City Troy?

I hope the wind dies dwon. I want to paint my tractor, my shed is not that air tight.

Finished up the new plow dolly, this one will not bend on me. Made it from a piece of 1/4" plate, some 1 1/4" x 1/8" angle iron and some cast iron casters. Just need to clean it up and paint it. Now, I hope the ones under the cutting edge hold up.

Hey Lee, sorry to see you aren't feeling well. That is quite a nap you took. Good luck sleeping later tonight.

Must be at least a 3 hr 33 min drive for Troy, LOL

Ah, just paint it. Make sure the truck is far away though, orange and blue don't go that good together.

Hi Jay, bye Jay.
