Good on ya’ Rocketman!

That shit tears me up! I recognize it and kill it if I have to be near it.

Yep, circle of life, but still sad and depressing. Work all your life to get things you want and you can’t take nothing with you. My Dad always said he’s never seen a casket with a caboose.

Dammit Bill. I hope that your Dad continues to progress. Good thoughts to you and yours.

 

or this

 

Needs to be warm to flex and seal

 

I have the SB warming up in the garage. I figure if I drive it into the living room next to pellet stove I will be good to go

 

Or use your salamander

 

Where's the fun in that? LOL
I am sure my wife would be impressed if I dragged the SN in the house.

I do have a small heater on a propane tank. I am sure will get it warm enough to seal.

 

BTW why in the hell SB tires need air? To make them ride smoother? they go .5 miles per hour so why not a solid wheel?

 

Simple
Traction.
Solid tires for the weight given won’t flex.

 

I highly doubt there is my flex in a tire at 0 degrees. The extra weight of sold wheel (not tire) would help with traction

 

Eliminate the wheel...

Well fill it with liquid weight then.
Or machine some solid steel ones.
Rubber tires don’t tear up the ground as much either.

 

Good morning all. Looks like I need to prep for the pending snow. Snowblower is good to go but the quad needs a battery. Not to mention, the kid in me would rather play in the snow with the quad. Someday I’ll get myself what I would really want to play on the snow with = subcompact 4WD tractor with a cab. Then in the summer I could go around digging holes and filling them back up. A bit overkill for my 0.33 acres...

 

Those suck

 

I’m the next town below Waterbury

 

We are due only about 7 inches of snow but because I have a gravel driveway, a snow blower doesn't work. I'll be going old school, slowly, since I am becoming old school myself.

 

psst... you can pretend you’re playing army with the gravel going through the chute sounding like a machine gun

 

I meant just the wheels on it. Guess I did not invent anything today

 

I have a wood lathe and could turn some for you! Pick a species of wood and finish.

 

Good grief, seems like the vaccine should have been offered to your Mom when she was there.

My Brother and S-I-L both work for public school systems in upstate NY and are scheduled for the vaccine next week.

My parents got a bunch of literature on the vaccine when it was administered. I joked with them about it being for future class action...
