RobertS we currently have a female Black Lab, female Weimeriener, female Australian Shepard.
Nothing against male dogs. just the current rescued grouping.
In the past weāve had a male Rhodesian Ridgeback, an Ausi-shepard, Airdale/shepard mix, two male Chawawaās.
Female Border Collies, Australian Cattle dogs.
Always three at a time in overlapping ages and capabilities.
Asked who I want for US President and Iāll say now that Iām still looking.
Say Iām looking for the one who has and understands dogs. Say that God made dogs to make be better humans.
Folks think Iām joking. Iām dead serious. If you have the understanding, patience and humility to get along with these Gods-gifts critters who try so very hard to understand us deaf, blind and dumb confused humans then you are the guy/gal I want with your finger on the big red decision buttons; and the black spend money signing pen.
Iāve held my dogs when theyāve been injured, sick and seizure-ing. Held two of the Ausiās seizing until they died. One poisoned. Rushed three of them to the Vets for surgery from car hits. Accommodated them with debilitating cancers until they were so weak that they were asking for me to stop their misery. Carried them up on the hill with a pocketed pistol and shovel. Gave them a chance to smell the grass and wild things one more time and then sent them on.
The survivalist novelists always get the dogs wrong.
Be much more like an old, old 70ās movie titled, āA Boy and His Dogā. I will be using-up the be-bad-assed human/animals to keep my loved dogs fed and going forward. Believe you this.
True Rural the one thing you will never be forgiven is to shoot another families dog. A generational hate and war will erupt that will take two generations to settle.
Ha! Ha! No. Not me voicing this BillS. Thanks for the compliment.
OK Steve that time I got misty eyedā¦ my āPuppyā is a 70 lb Belgian Sheppard and something mix pound mutt. A little skittish around people but a softy around the kids. I judge people based on Teslaās reaction to them. I rarely disagree with her.
Was at a July 4 parade couple decades ago. Setting by a old man his grandchild and dog wanna be governor walked up tried to shake kids hand kid wanted nothing to do with it.Tried to pet dog got a viscous growl for that effort. Asked old man to vote for him old man said you already got two no votes gonna have to make it three. I was laughing so hard wanna be just walked on down the street. Grangpa said when it comes to judging people trust the kid and especially the dog
I was a K-9 officer for about 12 year and may owe my old age to some wonderful dogs
In training often I would have to take my turn in the barrel ( bite suit ) and be the bad guy for other officer training their dogs . One begins to wonder if this training is above his pay scale . A good and lucky day is not bleeding too much. . I have taken hundreds of hits from Malinois and believe me , they are a breed that are very serious about their job.
Some training was in plane view of the prison population . The prison population understood that man best fried can be a convicts worst enemy.
The below link is not me but it does show some malinois training and at work .
HI, Brian!

That is just ājumping in the wrong barrelā!
A continuous row of holes is just destroying the draft downwards by continuous re-warming the gas which should be allowed to cool and form the necessary draft and cooling downward for condensing!
So, only āeye-lockā slits in the upper end, and just above the edge of the gutter.
Hi Wayne,
I know about the prison ā¦ I met a pile of folks last visit BUT no vicious dogs ā¦ You have a good bunch of folks down there doing what they are supposed to do ā¦ We have 12ā PILES of ice here ā¦ Stay dry amigo !!! ā¦ Mikey
Hi Robert,
I love the attention to detail. Patience and discipline are the markers of success. The fuel tank straps look very good for original equipment. Here in the āsalt the roadsā frozen northeastern NY (Canadian border) they donāt last very long. Good luck on your build.
Pepe
Thanks pepe,
The plan is to have this as a wood gas truck eventually. Truck was originally from California. I bought it from a guy out of Cleveland Ohio. I just had a quart of this undercoating for the last 6 months and havenāt made time to put it on. Now that Iām getting ready to move I figure itās one less thing to move. Just did the rear part of the truck. Took 6 bolts, one electrical connector and the filler tube to take the bed off.
Had enough to paint the frame rails the rest of the way forward but not enough to work on the underside of the cab or the underside of the bed. Maybe I can afford another can next week and āfinishā it. Running out of time for stuff like this, getting ready for the big push north. The trailer that I was going to use got loaned out brought back bent up so now I have to find my own trailer. Lol Iāve got a lot to move. A lot of shop tools, welder, 3 riding lawn tractors, a disassembled Grumman AA1B, 3 cars ( going to try to sell one, the other one will succumb to rust in a few years and the 3rd I plan on using as a family vehicle when there isnāt any salt) two trucks, (the one in the picture and the other one going to be used as a donor truck for its engine, transmission and rear end. Would be nice to disassemble the parts I want before I go.) The main household items include a couch, two cribs, one twin bed, washer and dryer, a piano, 3 dressers, and a bunch of other paraphernalia.
Iām going to try to sell as much as I can but with scrap being down and my limited time table, itās worth more to me to haul some of the stuff up there.
First day of work is March 9th.
Robert
That was dang coolā¦ A few pusher trailers were built for electric cars. Going forward that is. Iāve thought about building a woodgas pusher trailer a few times but working out all the problems seem to be a bit much.
Good evening all from the character building north, of southern Manitoba. Minus 20C presently, forecast to be minus 28 in the morning, with a windchill of minus 41. That said, thatās not exceptional weather for this time of year, minus 35 or 38 would cause some complaints - this night will be one of the coldest so far. Itās been one of the warmest winters ever, even some rain in January and February, which is unheard of. A few crows have been sighted, they never appear here until the end of March for the spring thaw.
Definitely a different approach to wood gas condensation is needed in this environment.
Believe it or not though, by summer I can grow decent tobacco and corn, long days, and good over night temperatures, but planting dates are critical.
I will be using some of that solar energy stored in mother natureās extreme long life batteries tonight, and thinking about the warmer days to comeā¦
