    That is awesome! Can't double like it on here so I unliked and liked it a few times...

    I have an idea. Lets build a snow blower out of mainly plastic parts, charge more than a thousand dollars for it, and send it to where people will use it in sub zero temperatures. We can just pack it in grease, I'm sure everything will work fine.

    Oh and design it so you have to basically tear the whole damn thing apart to get to the plastic gear box that controls the chute. Mother phuckers.

    Mod Change 1X Alpha at least it pivots now. Even if I have to control it with a stick. Elevation control still works too.

    Finish working on it tomorrow when the sun comes back out. And before the storm hits. I hope.

    Time to salt some steaks and build a fire. And see if there is anything around here to drink.

    Ariens was king of the hill for a long time and still is as far as I know. Couldn't find one within 500 miles of here when I was looking and ended up with this one.

    Anyone watching Barrett-Jackson? It's fancy car night. I have to say, I'm not a fan of the reserve "feature".

    First birdfarm I was on was the USS Coral Sea, took her around the world in 83. A picture of her Maiden Voyage in 1948. She was an old girl by the time I got to her.

    [​IMG]

    During Desert Shield\Storm I was the Engineering group sup of the main engineering spaces on the USS America. Some guys put together this video set to Bad Company, Bad Company. 30 years old so not the best quality. Still pretty decent video must have watched it a thousand times. Not much else on out to sea. Until the sat TV's came in later.

    Barrett Jackson and other car shows have ruined the car hobby , everyone who sells a car now wants Barrett Jackson prices for their junk
