    woke up to maybe 1/2 inch of snow! it was a very odd sight since i didnt believe it would actually snow. This brings our snowfall total this year to about 1.25 inches. It is mostly gone now as the sun is out and really beating down on it.

    Agree Will, great day to stay inside ! Had to hunt down the winter gear again, time to broom the snow off the walkway. :picard:
    Only about an inch of snow so far, but starting to get windy .. 20-30 mph gusts forecast here. :shiver:

    Cool, you're welcome artc! NICE find on repairshack - that's a -great- price for a refurb board ! :thumbs: :handshake:

    ... Your wife is heading to the laundry room - Hide those tools ! :rofl: :lol:

    --
    Ordered 2 different funnels to try w/ the 'Pellet Vac Jr.' this week, both came in on Friday, only had limited time to mod. (1) to try - got the adapter in, pellets flow good through it when dumped from a bag, but no time for full vac testing yet. :( ( Back on the weekend work schedule, looks like Tuesday this week. )

    Messy pic w/ updated funnel:

    HPIM0670.JPG

    This one uses a 1.5" male threaded adapter through the bottom of the funnel, w/ the top portion that would normally accept the PVC pipe sliced down:

    HPIM0671.JPG


    It's one big-azz funnel, even I can't miss dumping pellets in this monster.. :bug:

    This is my life at the moment: driving, work, Pellets, no Beer.. At least I'm playing w/ power tools. :thumbs:

    Gotta do the work thing - have a great day & stay warm ! :yes:
