Looks nice Ken. At first glance I thought you might be working on burying some bodies in the desert.

Dave my camera in my phone isn't working. I'll get some of the other folks to send me some.

Well back at home...well not home but feels like home.
Back at the hallowed Connaught Range in Ottawa.

Got into base, and the big ahh I'm home feeling.
Two weeks of bullets, beers, and bs.
Catching up with old friends and settling in.

Just realized I left my shaving kit in Winnipeg...DHO!

Been busy this past week, we have been sleeping in the new house and moving belongings from the old house. It's slow going, but good, as I bring a load in my wife has time to locate and relocate items before the next load arrives and the process repeats. Ran into a few issues, a toilet had apparently been leaking for a while so i had to tear out the drywall and clean up some mold that had managed to develop. Cleaned it up and now I'm waiting for every trace of moisture to be gone before I replace the insulation and redo the drywall. Other than that, it's been nice waking up to the sound of nothing but nature(and ten kids). Seen a bunch of turkey and deer and I'll be hunting me some raccoons soon. I'll attach a few pictures of the place to prove it is real.
The first two are a couple of my mild remediation work, then one of my blazer and the minivan in the garage and another view of the garage and finally one of the boys bunks in their room. I'll put some more up of the house later.

Glad to hear everyone is safe from the storms that have been ravaging the Texas and Louisiana area.

Smoke is thick here on the front range today. It was clear yesterday but guessing we have a couple mile visibility today. Would say this is the worst day I have encountered since moving out west here a couple years ago.

TexasRedNeck · « **Reply #4468 on:** September 04, 2017, 08:22:37 PM »

Today. Unload table saw, compound miter saw, and other assorted tools from the trailer and reorg in the shop. ( I finally got my tools back from my dad in prep for the casita build). Unloaded a trailer full of oak and split it and piled it up by the wood pile. Box bladed the drive to get the ruts out from the rain we had. Unloaded barrels of fuel to the shop. Sharpened the blades on the mower and added a pre filter to the air filter and topped off the drive oil. then mowed the yard and a few trails. Then cleaned the mower and then rotated the wheels on the Bus and washed the insides of the wheels while they were off. Then attacked the windshield with windex as the black flies are as bad as Ive ever seen them. Shower, laundry, dinner, drink, done. I'm out.

That's a heck of a project you're in the middle of there.

Competition started today. I shot well, personal best, and we'll see where it comes out in the wash in a few more days.

Dave that garage is huge!

dave945 · « **Reply #4473 on:** September 06, 2017, 11:04:12 PM »

JR, looks like some wiring monkey went crazy in your attic, I've seen stuff like that in datacenters before, makes a royal pain to trace anything.

Here's another couple pictures of the garage. It's about 6000 square feet(has two bathrooms in it too), it was a machine shop previously and is attached to the house. I'm going to have to work on getting at least some of the old oil off the floor to keep it from getting tracked in so much. The. Here is the issue of the raccoon infestation in the attic that I have to take care of. Grrrrr

What are the dimension of the tiles in the bathroom? If they're 9"x9" they're likely asbestos so watch out.

dave945 · « **Reply #4476 on:** September 07, 2017, 06:06:20 AM »

No, 9"x9" tiles in the place. If you mean ceiling, it is all dry walled. I'm more worried about all the raccoon crap above the drywall in the garage at this point.

Starting Hurricane prep. We are bugging in. At 79" elevation and 40 miles straight line from the coast just south of savannah, we will ride it out like last time. Good on generator, bottled water, food, meds, security equipment, fuel for all types of vehicles and equipment. Clearing up potential flying and or falling debris and taking pics and video of stuff.

Flyin6 · « **Reply #4481 on:** September 07, 2017, 10:11:15 AM »

These Hurricanes pounding us has a biblical overtone to me

A warning perhaps?

Our score card is not so great as of late:

Millions and millions of murdered babies
Homosexuality now honored
Black lives matter more than anything else
White supremacy (A manufactured lie IMO)
Transvestites...
A man voted "Woman of the year"
ACLU fighting to have child pornography in libraries
and
allowing for sexual relationships between men and boys!!!
Opening our arms to Islam
While
Openly being ashamed of Christianity
Allowing for Slavery to grow once again
Our very government distancing itself from our Lord
Honoring hate over Loving thy neighbor
Turning into a nation of sissies, cowards, and cry babies. Those people do not deserve protection of our police, military, or good men and women

Ya know if God were a man, he'd likely just create a super hurricane and remove the United States and the top five feet of dirt and start over.

Warning?? I think it just may be, but no one is listening, and I'm an old guy, what do i know??

Yea, I guess I'm just dammed angry with what my country has turned into!

Real Men of God take a stand. I for one stand against all that evil. I endorse none of it. Abortion is still murder.
Men marrying men is still wrong and evil
Blacks/whites or anyone singling themselves out as special are wrong
Cow-tailing to any group is cowardly
Islam is evil
Enslaving women is wrong
I won't even go there about the man/boy thing/ Only proper relationship is father/son or mentor like
My nation is Christian. I will not change that at all to make room for some "religion" which is not
Anyone who changes their sex is wrong, and likely mentally ill
Cops are good people, criminals are bad
Sometimes criminals get shot, and that is a good thing
Cops make mistakes sometimes. That does not make them bad.
A family works best when a man leads and a woman helps him. He loves her, and she respects him...and the kids see it!
God is real, Jesus was/is his son, and they are supreme over everything

Matt, good luck with Irma, she's measuring up to be meaner than a woman scorned.

The whole garage was the machine shop, all the equipment minus one was removed previously when the shop was bought out a couple years ago. The one remaining machine is a 16 foot long lathe of some sort that the seller will be picking up in the near future. He has his own shop just down the street, he is a son of the late owner, good guy , does contract machining work for the military/government.

For sleeping, just get the $8 intex mattress at wally. I tried cots and matts, this is the most comfortable. For another $10 you can get the electric inflater or get one with it built in.

But I must add my HF framing nailer works great. Case melted around it my fire in 06 and HF gave me a new one! Built my garage and about to start the room add on.

Speaking of which I added a 30 inch door yesterday so now I can walk out to the work vs climbing over the roof.

That's from my LB7, the one I need to sell. I'll need to find someone to read balance rates then decide if it'd be better to fix them first or sell it as is. When I replaced all 8 injectors in 2013 I added a nicktane filter head and use 3 micron Donaldson filters, use XDP fuel system treatment at every fill up, and never let it get below 1/2 tank. I never thought these would fail in less than 60k miles.
