About 15 years ago we had a bad ice storm and the power was off for 13 days. I kept the house running, and a 3 barn, 3300 head hog site running, with a 25KW (Navy surplus), generator. Power provided by a 5 1/2 cylinder, flat head, Continental, GAS engine. At the end of that ordeal, I decided that "home-made" power is WAY more expensive than the "store-bought" stuff. (and a LOT more work) I DO NOT complain about the REA bill anymore!!!!!!! Mike

That's a snowflake collection, sorted by age and height........ Serious collectors will re-stack them several times during the winter. Amatures just go south for the winter....... Mike

Not the first time I have heard of that kind of suicide... Mike

I have been using 2X6 tongue and grooved, treated from Menards. Pretty reasonable and seems to stand up well. Try to do a time at the yard they will let you "pick u-r own" Mike

Be sure to put a hidden 'shut off' device somewhere in the wiring, so it don't get used as a "walmart service center" I use an alligator clip to hook/unhook from the battery, and since the hood only opens from in the cab........ Mike

WOW------ How would you EVER decide where to put it??????? (look close at the legs, if you don't catch on) Mike

If you get to Baton Rouge, LA, you can tour a WW II destroyer....... USS KIDD.....amazing how small everything is, and how PACKED IN.

Bought a 2010 RS/SS, 6.2 V8, Auto, all the goodies. Fun as heck to drive...... Back seat is totally useless, when the front seats are back. Rearward vision almost non existent. Fun as HECK to drive..... Useless in the snow.Tough to get in and out, but FUN AS HECK to drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Owners manual says the computer will shut it down @ 155 mph, I chickened out at 135.........Did I say how much fun it is to drive??? Suburban is more practical, and more comfortable, but it's FUNER TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike

Those reasons will work, till something better comes along------------ Mike

We save that stuff, because where in the world, would you find another one if you needed it????????????? Mike

A little humor for the thread---- Mike

Should be some way to hook a fish net behind that kid.... Mike
