I'd Probably Just Go To A Tool Rental...

 ...but here's how you can make your own! Thanks for the link, Zeke!

Back To The Old Grind!

Weekend Steam II: Rollag, 2004

 Here's a  good reminder from Merle that Rollag is only a few months away. You better be making your reservations!  Thanks, Merle!

Weekend Steam: George White Engine On A Sawmill

 Lots of good stack talk!  Many Thanks to Merle for the pick!

Keeping Sunka Dry

 Old Sunka takes some time to take care of business, and we had thunderstorms this evening. You have to keep that umbrella over him!

Fiber Optic's Coming!

 A few more days and we will unhook the rusty wire!

That's A Start

 We burned all but about 1/2 dozen sticks, and have a start on next winter's wood pile.

A Couch Is Not A Holster!

 Your firearms need to be under your control at all times. When you have company come, do not leave guns loose in the house where an unauthorized person may come in contact with them. These little safes are inexpensive and can be staged conveniently in your home. If a gun is out of your primary safe, it should be on your body or in a staging safe for safety's sake. 

Take Time To Enjoy Spring

 

Watch the birds and wildlife, smell the flowers! Back To The Old Grind!

What Can Instagram Do For You?

 We have been traveling vicariously with Tristan and his bride all over the West. They are good at taking us to remote, lonely places with incredible views. In this video, he shows us how social media has changed the dynamics in popular places. Follow SUV Rving on YouTube for some real wilderness thrills.

Weekend Steam II: Case Hill Climbing

 The J.I. Case Company used hill climbs to promote their engines a century ago.  It is something that not many engines or operators can do. Watching the engine back down with the front wheels coming off the ramp makes me jumpy. As you start down you change the engine over to Reverse, and use the throttle to stop. It would be easy to screw that up and have a runaway, or do a somersault.   Thanks for the pick, Merle!
