    Here is an old popcorn machine from a small theatre. It dates back to the 20's and still works.

    Any ideas of a price for this one? I can't find anything on the web......

    Hey Backwoods Savage

    We went to Black River Harbor a few weeks (days ?) back and here are some pics. Have you ever been there?

    Looks like someone wanted to build a little shelter in the last pic.

    Yes we were there a few times. I like it but it has now been a long time since we were there. i want to go back to the up sometime this summer and maybe in fall too. I'd like to go back to some of my old hunting grounds in the fall. Summer maybe visit some friends I haven't seen in years and just to be back to where I always called home. Every time we crossed the bridge heading north we would say it is good to be back home again.

    It will be interesting to see where the Chinese Rocket debris lands. Hopefully not where people are. Not that our oceans need it either.

    Not sure, but I wouldn't doubt it's every bit as much as a 2021 version would cost

    Got the front shingled on the eave extension, that's the hardest and most dangerous part done. I still have to do some carpentry on the back and one side before I can finish shingling, but at least the back is a little easier and safer because of the lay of the land and lack of power lines.

    Holy cow - that is cheap. I can get a Mitsubishi 20k outside with a 12k & 6k heads for about $6,500. I just got a Lennox estimate today for 10,500 (36k outside and 12k+9k heads). That one has the hyper heat, so I've asked him to remove that and take the condenser down to less than 30k (Lennox sizes weirdly)

    Unfortunately I can't get people to come from Concord or Keene (I've tried), so have to go with what the fairly local people install. I have one more guy coming in another 10 days, then it will be put up or shut up time for me.

    Come to think of it, I'm not sure if she's even actually for sale or the guy was just showing off the truck. My buddy sent me the post, no price or anything.

    It's crazy what people want for those older low mile diesels now, even pickups with say 50, 100K or slightly more miles people are asking close to 40K for. Being a dump truck, I don't know how that would affect the perceived value but she's basically a time capsule. I'd hate to try to put a price on her.

She may call Monday. Now that its getting dark late and Barbara is going to bed very early I will see about getting at least some mowing done some eve next week.. Its looking pretty shabby right now. :) For tomorrow I will be baking a loaf of bread and cooking a small chicken and stuff for supper. May do up a batch of coleslaw witch I wish I had some right now. I guess thats all the excitement going on Sunday. LOL .. Hope you all are having a good weekend..

    Nobody knows for sure but here's a good guess on the China Rocket, she thinks it looks like it will be in the ocean. Tonight.
