Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Identical to the one we have.

I cut the long black "Suck snout" off at the spot it starts to flare larger.
Made an adapter bushing to go in there that fits snug on the 3" pellet vent OD.

Be sure to leave the door on the stove open or it will suck it inside out

Really does a fantastic job of sucking the stove out.

On occasion we use it to blow off the deck, roof and patio/walkway.

It's reason for being here is the stove vents for sure.

Really shoots the crud in the air too.

 

It will be for a duel purpose. I'll use it to pollenate the strawberries in the greenhouse also this spring and summer!

 

Truth be known, there are MANY drivers at local/regional tracks,
that could blow the doors off many Cup drivers... Not just Danica.
It's so much about being noticed, and then, being able to bring in
some large dollars...

It's not all about winning races. That is not "the" important part of sponsorship.
Danica has sponsorship for 2016.
Tony Stewart does not have a full card yet. Not even close.
Sad, as this is his last year..
Last year, Junior had a tough time selling the whole season..
It's tough out there now, it's not like it was when sponsors were lined up
to get their name on the cars...

I just love seeing the black cloud! unfortunately i clean my stove fairly often. use the LBT every sunday so my cloud is kinda lacking. This lead to me dipping the suction end into the metal bucket i use to scoop the burnpot out during the week. well, I wasnt let down thats for sure. That black cloud travelled down the road as a whole before i lost sight of it.

 

With my Harman, I just don't get the black soot monster I used to get with the Napoleon. Not that I miss it, just not as interesting now.

 

Today as I did yesterday, I will be planning down some 5/4 ash for wide plank flooring in our last two rooms that need to be finished. I cut the trees down 10 years ago and had them milled at a local saw mill. They've been in the loft of the barn and I got them down yesterday. I got through half of the pile, I ran out of day light but if you can see past the dust in the air, the pile of planner chips in this pic. The pile is almost as large as the stack of wood.

 

I also am still working on restoring my friend's 1964 Ski Doo and Ski Boose.


The gel coat on both units were so badly cracked from years of weather, and the Ski Boose was deemed beyond repair by some. The Ski Boose gunnels were bashed and the rear corners were bashed in, one badly. Another hole on the front leading edge had to be repaired. He had picked it up with hopes that some some tender loving care would restore it. The unit had a plywood bottom laminated during the manufacturing, when the fiberglass was removed the plywood came out as wet saw dust. I have built cedar strip kayaks and canoes, I have also repaired our Sailboat's keel when it arrived damaged during transit. This is a painstaking process, I do a little on it each week. Patience....patience...patience.

 

I saw a very old Ski Doo in the back of a pickup 2 days ago. It looked in really good condition like it was either restored or very well cared for.

I made sure to get beside him when the truck turned off the main road to get a good look,

 

This is what it should look like when we're done:

PP14930

 

That is so old school, I love it!

 

I remember riding with guys on old sleds like that. Back then, that engine set-up was common. Every once in a while you'd hear about someone getting killed by their scarf hanging down... it would get caught in the clutch and spool em up...

That one sure looks like brand new Ambient

 

If you mean the wood stove, 11 years old If you mean the sled it was recently restored and on display at Vintage Snowmobiles.

Be back later...off to work.

 

Brought Home some Curran Hardwood to try .... Local stove dealer has been bugging me to try them. Ran into him last night at a local watering hole and just as he was opening his lips to start the pitch I told him to give me 4 and I would buy 4. Just got back with them and will load them after stove cleanout on Saturday if the temps are not to cold. I have no faith in Curran Pellet.

As a side note.

When I put them into the shed I noticed the stash looked a bit lighter than I remembered. Made a comment to my little woman and she told me the younger daughter had come to do some shopping in our pantry and my storage shed. GRrrrrrrr and if not for my grandchildren it would be a capital GRRRRR

 

Can you say "padlock"?

 

Can't make french toast w/o that! Oh well, just drink.

 

Between weather systems and getting a much needed break.
57 F a bit ago and cleaning both stoves.
More nasty weather coming soon, so figured this would be a great time to GITTERDONE.

Been wanting to keep thrashing on my new controller for the big Whit, but real work must take precedence.

Ordered more parts and pieces, just gotta keep going at it.

Maybe I will get this done before stove season is over.

Having the spare ADV 2 T in the basement, I can do testing even during warm weather.
Just roll that stove outside and hook up the new control.

Ahhhh yesss.
