They pay you to haul that away? 

Hypertherm is the top dog and has been for twenty plus years imo.

Was he lost wandering around Texas when you found him?

My number one rule about life I preach to my kids (beyond normal things like follow gods word) is “everyone is a moron until they prove otherwise” so the people who continue to vote for that guy after 40+ years in government even if not morons in most aspects of life are choosing a moronic path by voting for him. My 2 cents & im pretty sure my kids are gunna engrave that dad saying in my tombstone some day as it’s been implied that is their plan.

Had a dusting night before last. We have a cold snap coming in next week so we’ll see.

More wood splitting and stacking. Storage shed is half full for next winters fuel. Although, I’ve not used much of this winters fuel as of yet. We’ve only had 4” of snow this winter and temps have been in 30’s and 40’s daily it seems.

I’m not sure what happened to 2023 frankly. For us it flew by, most years do it seems. I’m just gunna put my head down and keep pushing forward. The better half and I do that best in fact. What else can you do? Giving up isn’t an option and like most around here it’s not our first rodeo. We will keep preparing to help ourselves and others when the need arises.

Doors? Whodathunkit!

What’s next, shoes?

Ken leaving H? Highly doubtful……


 

Yeah, my youngest thought the gehl could go anywhere being 4x4 (I had a moment or 2) and he got really stuck in soft soil. Took a few attemps, but he got out with the bucket.

Getting a tracked unit stuck take practice, big hole you said?

Think quick sand, muddy water laden new fill. It’s was sketch, had I dropped it in that hole it would have needed large equipment to remove it…..

Nah, I’m on my second. Probably be buried in this one!

Nice 

I hauled another 30 yards of pit run today. Backside of shop is almost ready for top layer of 3/4-1” minus crushed.

I was a 4th owner maybe and it had been well abused before, while and after I owned it……

I had that truck in a reg cab short bed in high school, although it was the crappy 2.8L

Maybe once I start cutting my own wood. Couple birch I located need to come down shortly so I’ll try….

Done

 

I’m sure he understands that term boss.

I mean H’s *ss keeps expanding exponentially broader and he’s intimately familiar with it in that context.

 

Scary if that is real.

Ken, do you have that "doll" in a glass case?

“Prized tool”

Pretty sure he keeps it in his best tool box for easy access 

Haha! Merry Christmas Buddy!!!!

Like I said, I’m sure it’s nothing you haven’t already experienced……

Few pics of mezzanine framing. Need to block under each I joist at the wall. Used Simpson joist hangers at opposite end.

So what’s the tentative time frame on foundation and erection if this building?

After all these years of snow blowing up over the top of the plow one would think the companies would build them with the deflector installed.

Right! Or offer the rubber cut to bolt on as an option when you buy the plow…..

Drove to Kalispell this morning early for daughter’s bf. I found this og warn front bumper and warn 8403 (precourser to 8274) winch. This is straight, complete and zero dents for his 69 Ford highboy. He negotiated the deal, I grabbed it and paid for it. These are very hard to come by and he’s been looking for awhile. I’ve been actively looking for him over last 3 months.





I picked up three of these pantry box cabinets on last trip to Spokane at HD. Our cabin lacks useable storage so these will go on one wall in her kitchen. We have a short storage cabinet these will replace. As such I’m having to glue the veneer on opposing ends prior to the wife unit staining them. Good wintertime shop work.
