    Does the wheel kit come with the generator? Can you use a HF coupon for the purchase?

    Up a little earlier myself. Downing a Cup-O-Jor then off to fill my sons truck gas tank. I think his F150 has a 36-gallon tank, and it is low. Some pond work today, switching from a pressure filter to an in-pond filter for the winter. Laundry day and we are baking cookies.

    A little something every chance we get.
    The wheel kits are separate. There is an 8" and 10", and they had the 10" so I got it. No coupons anymore, but the gennie is on sale (our area still seems to have lots) at a price where they included one year membership to their club, gave me that discount, the extended warranty cost $50 instead of $150 for members, and I would have gotten a discount on the battery. Which, I finally decided I would buy, now that I put it together and read part of the book.

    :pccoffee: Good Morning Porch Pals & Gals! One of those dangerous weekends with not much on the list, but it's championship Saturday, so that's my bonus for working hard this week. Got what I needed to try firing up a pizza on the smoker, so wish me luck!

    Afternoon all:

    :( I did my job for my buddy's grandson! I sat with him until 10:45 when we left our spot and got about 25 yds. down an oil line to meet up with his grandfather when I spotted a small buck in the woods that was legal for him, it was standing there @ about 80 yds. and he missed it! :facepalm:Hey, we all have to start somewhere but I wish that he would have got it, maybe next time. :fingerscrossed:

    Up and down the ladder today - wif directed Christmas lighting project underway. I miss the old house in Casper. It had timer controlled outlets at strategic locations, with hooks and hangers - but on the other hand ..........35 mph winds and snow are a considerable obstacle that makes the day long and cold, every year.

    Well, there were about a dozen different cooks for pizza on the smoker I found, so I just had to go with the one that seemed best suited to what I had - which was refrigerated dough, and no cooking stone. So, I pre-cooked it as suggested for like 5 minutes instead of 8, to give me something I thought I could get on the grate easy. Then, I got it ready...

    I was right so far, so at 5 minutes of 450, I'm supposed to turn and adjust temp up..

    20211204_174713.jpg

    And you can see the cheese isn't quite there, BUT right there I should have NOT adjusted and NOT gone that three more minutes. Maybe I was one minute or so away, right where I was.

    I was SO close, but they were tasty anyway. And now I know. And I ordered a couple stones because they were cheap!

    Another successful day pheasant hunting. These also are going into the smoker and we will be bringing them to Utah for Christmas Eve with friends and adopted family.
    Dog is tired, I’m exhausted. Time for a wee dram of bourbon and sit in the hot tub. ED37D310-8CE3-4E18-A9DE-782DBE5AB828.jpgB9415B65-76A2-4F21-A363-01CB550BC771.jpg 5B5ACEDD-0B09-45AE-861C-453D07A33624.jpg

    Morning
    Getting winter projects in the box ready so moved a bunch of cars.
    Figured I’d take a picture or two.
    Got everything moved and a hour later it started to snow.
    Just a burst but, the clock has run out..
    lots to do this winter. Definitely won’t be sitting on the couch all day…

    TY for the info. I was wondering why I had not seen any HF Coupons. My last purchase there was about 3 years ago when I bought some ramps to put lawn equipment into a pickup truck. Nice set of ramps with the 20%off and the store discounted price was under $60. We use them every so often now. Actually, used them on Thanksgiving to move a person in a wheelchair into our house. They worked great.

    Nice and I have a stone. I will have to give it a try.

    Mike, your race car pictures are always appreciated!!

    Fixed the bathroom fan and baked cookies yesterday along with laundry. The exhaust fan was a PITA to install so many years ago and it was a PITA to remove yesterday. A good cleaning did the trick and fixed the noise. Today is getting leaves to the curb for pickup this week.

    Ken's post about Christmas light made me think about sharing the setup of our lighting control. The light in the front of the house is on an old-style dusk outlet timer from Honeywell. They come on at sunset and go off at midnight. What I started last year and improved on this year are the interior lights. I have a bunch of smart outlets tied to Alexa and run a group titled Christmas. The tree, village, small ceramic tree and lights in the rear of the house are all on smart plugs. We just tell Alexa to turn on or turn off Christmas. Works better than anticipated and the wife likes the easy on and off.

    Pushing cars all day is not fun….

    Try using the quote button lower right when replying to someone.
    If you don’t the person your talking to won’t get an alert and they might
    miss it…
