In this particular piece of equipment, not neededWhere's the altimeter ?
. In this case, I know for a fact I’m at 852’ MSL.
Had some time for busy work in the shop today. Finally got my gun work bench built and peg board up. Still need to stain and paint. Also need to center up my peg board and order hangers for tools.
Halftime intermission during the GB/TB game. Ty working at 655 yards with his pea shooter. He went 8/8 on the 18”x24” target. Wind messed with him a bit, but he held the waterline well.
Hi,
Waiting to depart San Diego...
Only when Hoplite Arms visits SD does it rain every single day.
So much for SD having great weather, lol..it has been raining, snow flurries and freaking cold the entire week.

So, did you just hide inside by the fire, smoke cigars, and drink bourbon?
Or did those sallies of SoCal get out and shoot?
Prolly messed up that delicate pea shooter you are toting around though, right?

Did you score a bunch of United's hand sanitizing wipes? They're awesome. Or at least smell like they could actually kill a germ.

the CZ 457 is ready for a test flight.
My daughter was over last Sunday for lunch and Gun Day and really liked my little 300 BLKOUT rifle.
So I built her a .223 pistol out of spare parts except of course the receiver that must be virgin. What a stupid rule *#@*&.
Anyway she'll be surprised next week!

This was my view first thing this morning.
It was 3* this morning and I had to go out to unfreeze the well pump's pressure switch. One of the lights I use to keep the pump house warm burned out and allowed the temp to fall too much. Other then heading out in the cold it was an easy fix. The finger sized pipe the gauge and switch are mounted to had frozen and it quickly thawed with just the heat from my bare hand.

Woke up to a light dusting this morning. First time in a while I’ve seen this.
Day job still slow to nonexistent, so, the tree boss keeps me busy and out of trouble. Another day, another dollar. Fresh here this morning.
-5 when I left the house this morning. Moon was almost as bright as the sun. Unedited pic from my phone too

Moon is amazing right now.
Air is so crisp it must be German Schott air.
If you live in the country with any snow cover and you are in the minus degree zone you will be able to read a book outside with no light added.
I'm going to get another 5-8 inches tomorrow. Drive to Wisconsin and take as much as you'd like.I miss snow.
The real crisp stuff.
Cities break the soul.
I'd pick a day in the country every time.

I like your affordable primers, not your blended scotch.
I'm a single malt guy. Lagavulin is God's tears.
I have had good blends and bad blends.
Same as single malts.
I just go by taste.
Like women.
I prefer one the curvy variety, blue eyes, and long pretty hair, but if one who is a size 2 with shorter hair says hello, I will let her buy me a drink.
Same for a little bigger than normal. She may be smart and sweet and the nicest lady ever.
but they all have to like fart jokes. Thats a deal breaker.

Remind me to never introduce you to my wife. Short and chunky with curly hair, smartest, funniest, and kindest woman I've ever met.I have had good blends and bad blends.

Ya know, its been a while since we saw Hank and Gus......
Your post about your wife and mine about Hank and Gus hit within seconds of each other.
I just like babies and pics.
Weird for a dude I know. I like their innocence and the funny stuff they do.
they fuss and cry and have no attitude and whining That comes later....

Boredom struck and a trip to the hardware store resulted in this. Figure it will change up the backyard shooting scene for a while.
Still bare ground, here. It's supposed to look like this at this time of year. Probably a blessing; I'm in no shape to do snow removal.
No neighbors to take care of that in your beautiful place till you’re on top of everythi
thats crap.
Thats just one of many things wrong these days.
Wondering how you are fairing now that radiation has been over a bit? Taste returning at all?

Mother Nature decided to turn the wind around yesterday and throughout the night to fill us back in from the other direction using the existing snow pack. 4”-8” of new supposed to arrive this afternoon. Mouth of the blower is 24” to give perspective.
I was just whining.
I'm sure the neighbors would help if needed, but my son is available and son-in-law lives next door. I need a 60" version of what @tnichols has for my Kubota; then I could move some serious snow, even in my current condition. Every time I think of buying one, we have a winter like this and when you have a real winter they can't be found. I should quit procrastinating. Taste hasn't started returning and neuropathy is getting worse. I was hoping to see some improvement but none so far. It's only been a week since last radiation but almost two months since last chemo. Docs say it could take weeks, months or years. At least I'll have something to blame my poor shooting on.
Does your Kubota have a mid PTO? And do they make a front mount 3 point hitch for your tractor? Both are needed for a front mounted blower.I was just whining.

I would change 2 things if I were doing this again. First, I would get a 72” vs the 60” that I have (I don’t know if they offered that, just wishing). It would give you more room when backing out of your first pass or working around corners so you’re not running over what you haven’t been through yet with the rear wheels.
Second, I would like to be able to change the chute deflector angle hydraulically from the cab. It would be handy when working in tight spots or around buildings, houses, etc... I believe New Holland offers this feature on their front mount.
I wish you continued improvement with your recovery and many more years to enjoy that beautiful country you live in.
Kinda depends on the moisture content of the snow, and what chute deflector angle you’re running. Probably 30’ plus if you got into the right kind of snow. My big Ariens walk behind will do 50’ easy. I’m not kidding. If I remember correctly, it’s a 414cc engine and they have the impeller speed just right. It goes high and far. Kinda’ fun
.
That’s a beast! The one thing I won’t give up on a snowblower again is a thumb switch to turn the chute. Never have to take your hands off the handles at all
