No Bob, I think a dollar bill dropped out of his pocket. We’re in the middle of winter so it couldn’t be grass. TomC

That funny Mr Tom
but no, Bob is right, the grass is starting to spring up around here a little bit. We will still have some cold days probably but today it is a nice sunny 65 degrees F.

45??? That would be a heat wave. We managed to get to 26F today after a low of -5 I think. January and February can be seriously cold months and I won’t complain when we stay above 0.

Have you used up all your wood in the truck? Nothing left for the boiler

I was out walking this morning with the dog, and not more than 2 minutes walk from the house, down in a gully or holler like they say down south where Wayne lives. I found some 100 + year old tin cans. How do I know this?
They are soldering dot cans. They use lead solder to seal the can. Which they later found out you would get lead poisoning from. They stopped making this kind of can by the 1920 year.
The cans here were probably canned milk.
The cans have been exposed the the weather for all these years. I think they made heavier duty cans 100 years ago. No ridges on the side and the sides are hard to bend.
I have noticed this with older oil and grease barrels sitting around, they last along time. They are made with thicker steel then the newer barrels. The weight proves it.

USED Tesla 3 in a car lot near me (Bluffton,Indiana, USA): $36,000 on sale from $39,000. I guess I will be driving 200k+ odometer miles vehicles a little longer… 
My wife got our 2007 Subaru (289k miles) stuck in a snow drift this morning (in the middle of what was the road). Took several friendly neighbors to get them out. I drove our 2000 Chevy Astro AWD (200k miles) and made it to work OK, just lucky, I guess. Needed the AWD for sure!

Hi Mike, have you seen the Tesla junk yards in the USA. Full of Tesla cars, a lot of them look okay on the outside but they are totaled vehicles a lot of them went through to deep of a puddle in flooding road conditions. I Don’t want one. No Tesla dealership around here, you have to have it towed to the bigger cities to have it worked on a lot of times, or have a serviceman come out. No thanks. DOW is get better and better as things go high-tech. Need to find the lower tech 1990 to 1995 cars and trucks.

Absolute! And you can use a old car as boat if you want. No new car will survive that. Still dont know what to feel about my old mercedes. It ran forever.

When I die they can bury me in a Chevy. If absolutely necessary a Dodge will do.
Just looked up the price on that Sherp. The basic model starts at 120 K I’m guessing the one that SteveU posted crawls a lot closer to 200 K

Sounds like a pricey way to see the back country. I will stick to pair of good hiking boots, myself

I had that 292 in a 1976 Chevy van. 10MPG. I was getting 15 out of a semi built 396. Couldn’t fault the torque though.

Ha! Ha! BobMac up there you are getting the good weather track.
Down here west-side it has been two solid days now of continuous socked in misty rain.
Kills my low angle satellite internet signal.
Good day to go check with the two local scrappy guys and pay them for set aside consumer SS panels, handles and drums.
I’ll be thinking about you brain-storming in your snow-board made thinking chair.

The Snowboard bench Steve, is two (K2 Fat boy) boards, they were great power boards in their day, back in the 90’s. Now they’re just a place to park my butt by the fire making charcoal and thinking of all the power runs I have made on skis and a board since 1967. Yup the long skinny skis back then. This is my second year I have not gone skiing or riding, getting old I guess. But not to old to work on gasification that for sure.
I was born to be a Ski Bum but instead I got a real Job with Grant County PUD and also became a professional ski/Snowboard instructor to support my habit. Now retired and not fight any withdrawals.
