Just my catching up here....So far it's dog 4 Badgers zero... that dog is a special kind of determined. He's had to have a few stitches over the years, but he doesn't seem to care. He's like 14 years old or something so maybe he figures he has nothing to lose. I tend to shoot heart/lung on larger game. It's just humane and simple I agree. That said I head shoot Coyotes...because they are "screamers" and die nosily at times when vitals shot. I just don't take shots I am not confident in taking. One shot to the back of the head they are down and dead. The area of vitals on a Yote isn't much larger than their head anyway. If required a follow up shot is always an option..at least where we hunt them. Don that pink foam textures rather well with acetone LoL It gets that old 1800's concrete texture quickly. Another thing you can use to light that fire that doesn't "explode" (less fun) is rubbing alcohol. It lights clean and simple and gets things going fast...if lighting "wetter" wood use lamp oil it will burn longer ...once yr flu is warm it will draw as you have discovered. And yes add a dampner...you will save lots of heat. I just use mineral spirits from my parts washer LoL
Ya, know, Norm, on that pink foam board, well, I got to looking at the stack of barn wood I have accumulated. That stuff is as solid as, well Oak! Not very rotten except on the edges. I have been cutting into it, and It may be hard and strong enough to make a B-52 main wing spar. Or at least a Constellation class frigate.So, I was wondering what that camper might look like with the skirt and other pink places wrapped, tastefully, mind you, in old school barn wood???Might work. Keep me from looking like the Jeffersons just moved in next to my shed

Save that pristine Barnwood for inside! Use a tile trowel and spray down that pink board with mineral spirits and then trowel it to make it look like Barnwood texture. You can then paint it and make it look like your own Barnwood complete with actual texture - just need a little red and gray and light brown paint and apply it with a Drybrush technique! Even warrant officer can do it! :o
Black is the color that the mold that feeds off the yeast used in distillery bourbon! That's why the revenueors used to drive around looking for black mold on trees in the woods to locate illegal still! Black also adds heat for the aging of the bourbon in the barrels. See I learned something
I'd defiantly test yr foam vs solvent ratio on a scrap piece. The visual of a swiss cheese skirting and such, funny as it may be. Sell that barn board to city slickers for $8 a running foot. That's what I do...they love it. I once sold the wood off a old corn crib for $20k. AND they (city slickers) paid me to deliver it also. Then they bought the stone foundation as well... because barn parts are well...barn parts.120 gallons? I have a tank that size on my weed torch man. Wonder how long that will run said RV furnace? I am trying to remember how large the tank on our RV is...I know it will last 6 days of winter RV,ing. What we do here for Sissy propane guys that wont take their trucks off road is we mount a 1000 gallon tank on wheels. Ya could do that with a smaller unit say 500 gallons. Drag it out, have him meet you someplace he can handle filling it, and then drag it back in.
Well, instead of messing up the form (done that alot) just get cheap siding and glue it on. Bang you are done.Save the oak for the inside of something nice, like the outhouse 8)
Don, if the gas company guy will drive back and fill the smaller tank, why not get one twice the size and not worry about running out before spring. I rent a tank from Cenex and they are very reasonable. I think you would get a better price with a larger delivery also.
Tell your propane man you know a guy in Kneebraska that would drive down that driveway in a Fifth Avenue.It's about 6 degrees here ATM with a nice breeze. House is 75 degrees and cozy burning about a bushel a day of corn.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

I'd take XJ down the driveway, but then again, it's already beat up. ::)
Uh & it's an xj! ;)
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Did you say you were going to monitor a thermo underneath the camper, inside the wind break?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Northern tool has some weather stations and simple thermometers on sale. Plan to use those. But I couldn't figure out just yet how to record the data for long periods. The wind speed is important to me for future wind mill. Plan on putting it almost to the top of a 36' pole of my creation then my first wind driven ten atop that

Cro-Magnon man! ;-)Think is there Bobby- Lou is I'd have to be there and checking that all the time. Makes sense for the absence of technology but there is a smart way of doing this I think
Ya know NOAA records wind speeds and other fun stuff. Likely a airport monitoring station or a firehouse or something close enough to give you an idea on wind speed average is available. Or this http://www.kymesonet.org/ Just trying to save you the work involved in erecting a pole with a wind spinny thingy on top of it. ;D
