Well, you sound like a royal pain in the @$$! LOL

That, is very probably true. She has told me that numerous times throughout our marriage :laughing:

Randy- Thank you for the clarification.

It seems to me that the "Old School" electricians all had "standards" that surpassed, in some ways, "New School" standards. I helped a +80 yo electrician (more cognitively intact than I) rewire our house during its "rebuild". This guy was an "electrician's 'go to' guy"; an electrician's electrician. A neat guy. It hurt to watch him move around.

He told me that he had this old military gas/diesel bulldozer that started up in gas and when "warmed up" then switched to diesel fuel with "a little commotion." I saw it I never experienced it starting up, but I saw it. To me it was a bulldozer, did they/do they make those things?

My new electrician is the guy who re-wired the old guy's home............. He told me that I have a lot of "unnecessary" outlets, but I have almost al of them used.

Got my recepticals Wired and face plates on except one, I picked all of them from one box and one was different. Gotta back to Home Depot or just run to Ace and keep the other one. No finished pics yet, no lights up yet. This is one wall, I’ll do the other sometime but no rush, I won’t be using this building like I did the original. View attachment 541678View attachment 541679

I can read it. But can’t remember what I read.

Don't worry, you're not the only one! I ussually have to take notes!:laughing:

 

[jbrumberg]

From what I read New Jersey north with higher terrain getting the most. It is a part one of two

I agree..... We are reading from the same "Book" My (Boonton, NJ), BIL is glad that he and GF moved to NC.

Now I am starting to read discussion of this developing system "bombing" and doing a real "loop de loop" track w/i the "block." Too bad it is so "warm" within the area of potential development.

Here are a few pictures of the neighbors snow cat. It's smaller then my Polaris Ranger Crew.
I only drove it a few feet.so I haven't driven it much but I would like to.
It has two transmissions one has five gears and the other one has six gears. Not sure now that works.
It has two sticks for steering.
I got it to start today. She will be back up tomorrow I'll ask her more about. She also has a ten passenger snow cat but I don't think that one is running.

CWB.

Thanks for posting. Looks pretty handy. Especially if the heater works.

I hate selling stuff also, must be why i have a barn full of stuff that needs to go.

PJ, im going to swing by StL again on one of my AR trips. I want to see the mounds there, and go visit Lamberts in sikeston. We visited the arch on our first trip a few yrs ago. Last summer we came thru stl on way home from grand canyon. My sons fly thru stL on friday.

It would probably go up that. I've driven it up plenty slopes, sometimes carrying gravel, sometimes a couple of 60 liter jugs of water for the goats, sometimes my father in law . Behind our house there is a steep, at least 30° at certain points slope, and the only way I can get it up is if its empty and I get off and walk next to it. I was having to drive down the road in front of our house 200 meters, to a neighbor whose path up the ridge was a different geometry, longer, shallower slope, drive up that 300m, and then back to our fields. Wasn't very practical, so pushed me to get the Goldoni with the trailer with powered wheels -- e.g. 4x4. Then I still held on to this because I was using the mower and hay rake part of the system for making hay. Last year I got another cutter-bar mower, and right now I'm having an adapter made so I can use the hay rake with the Goldoni. Thus, no excuse to hang on to this. The trailer hasn't been moved from where it is parked in over a year.

Still, I get hit with a bit of nostalgia, when while looking up photos to put in for sale ad I see my kids helping out / hanging out on the Vari while I was mowing and building fence:

You can imagine the temptation to keep it, maybe they would like it for driving around on if we keep it parked up in the field. But then they can just as well drive the Goldoni, which is a bit more stable; or ride their bikes on the path instead!

We used to have something like that on the farm when i was young. 2 wheels, engine on top. We built a cart for it. Its probably still buried under hay in the barn.
