    Waiting for the seller to make the first move. Mine is Dec. 2005 so about 5+ years newer. Does it have the newer direct drive or the old chain drive?

    Those extensions are great and usually cost a bundle considering the simple design and materials. Didn't stop me from getting an extension for each stove though :)

    I cannot locate the old thread so I will follow up here on how to use empty pellet bags. Unfortunately our new trash compactor died (1.5 years old), it did not compact as well as our old one either. So, we are using a trash can now, empty pellet bags fit the bill, great!

    They are fantastic to use for putting in the used kitty litter. Then fold over the top and secure with duct tape. No busted bags of used kitty litter with pellet bags. I have 6 cats so you know I need something that is strong.

    The boss got her yearly airtime card for her cell phone today and then we hit one of the junk stores where I found a DVD (Care Bears) and a 3 CD collection of 70's stuff. The CD's have been ripped and are now being served by my Netgear, wonder when they will get back to me. Bet they are having fun, loading up several thousand files to get the software to fail is slow slugging. It goes to he double somewhere above 2925 and below 3300.

    The youngest one is 2+ a little and the oldest is 11+. The little one is into Care Bears. The eldest one not so much. I like a variety of music as a result the collection has something for everyone in it.

    i am thankful our transfer station takes the pellet bags.
    i flatten them out as i go and have a board on top that i step on to squish them down.
    i just tie them all in one bundle and take them to the recycling part of the dump each spring.

    Our transfer station has just got with the program. Eleven years ago I came from an area that not only recycled but had us separating our recyclables, here they could care less at the transfer station. It used to cost the County as much to haul recyclables as normal trash. Now they are suddenly getting with the program and considering having folks use clear plastic bags so they can make sure you're recycling. I called just yesterday to make sure I knew the new requirements, and the attendant had no idea. He looked it up and said something to the effect " you know, like milk bottles, plastic jars....." When I asked him if they were taking #1 thru # 7 he had to ask and then look it up on line. I know they don't recycle plastic bags. Many local farmers here still burn their huge Ag bags that hold haylige and silage, even with a program to take them for free at the transfer station. I tried to get them to take my plastic mulch and these pellet bags and they said just throw it in the dumpster. :mad:

    I got the outdoor hockey rink up 2 weeks ago. The weather is not playing nice. It's hard to use when the temp keeps going all over.

    Gonna take a look at the Harman P68 soon.
    Anything I should be aware of and check?
    Is the hopper extension easily removed?
