No I didn't destroy the county to let them know about my child, I guess I maybe should have if I was thinking about it A girl though!

Thanks man! I keep meaning to catch up but have been busy busy these last few weeks! Hope the fam is well.

 

Congratulations!

There’s a feeling that comes over you the first time you pick up that kid which one cannot explain - right? A girl, nice. My daughter is a Sophomore at URI. You’ll get a good 10 or 11 years of easy times. Wait till they hit 12... Then the boys and worries start...

Good job!

 

I get it! Busy as hell here too! Enjoy every min man, it’s a lot of work but worth it!

 

Congratulations! That’s awesome news!

 

congratulations!

 

Congrats to you and your family

 

I had looked a lot into Florida last year. Doesn't seem like a good place to live. Everyone I talked to that lived there at one time didn't recommend it. The last girl I dated moved there "because it's cheaper". Yeah the housing is cheaper, but everything else isn't. Insurance is higher, utilities are higher, and jobs don't pay as much. :Notsure:

 

Bummer man, sorry to hear.

 

Congrats

 

Not the state--Florida, MA.

It's one town over from me, so I think insurance and utilities are basically the same.

 

I didn't know there was a Florida, MA until a month ago

 

I can see it from my back yard. The wind turbines on the mountain that overlook my town are all in Florida. It's absolutely beautiful there.

It's a little weird, though. It's either tar paper shacks or really nice large/expensive country homes. Not much in between.

 

Thanks everyone!!

the town entrance has a snowman and palm tree on the sign. Always got a kick out of it as a kid.

 

Congratulations!!! Lots of new dads around here lately!

 

Sorry for your loss

Congrats!!

 

I got a lot done on the bed today. I made the long cut, flipped the sheet over, dropped the floor into the bed, spot welded some, flipped the bed over, and finished the rest of the spot welds. Next up: weld in the bed supports, get rid of the rust, seal the underside of the bed, flip it over one last time, bedline it with Raptor, and attack my frame! I’m getting there...

 

Rich, I moved this over here to keep the trip thread clean.

Congratulations on your CDL! I'm not sure if I was reading that correctly or not. So are you driving regional right now?

 

That's all the ash I got after burning a bag of the Vermont pellets. They also burn really hot--I think I'll be happy with them this year!

 

Generally speaking, how do pellets compare price wise with just burning wood? Assuming similiar set ups.

 

If you pay for cut and split wood I think the cost is approximately the same but the pellets are easier to deal with.

Compared to oil, I am basically able to keep the house warmer for the same cost. With the oil I was always messing with the thermostat to see how low I could go without it being unbearable. With the pellets, I don't worry about it and just burn them enough to make the house warm and comfortable. I burn about 200 gallons of oil and 3 tons of pellets per winter now.
