Business conference, starts tonight runs through Sunday
Staying at the Westin in the airport, conference is here

But today, going to hop the train into town, kid that used to work for me moved out here three years ago

We’ve been in touch and he told me some places to check out

He is telling me I should rent a car and just drive towards the Rockies. “In three years, I haven’t stopped being in amazement by them”

Plus he said now that the fire is out the smoke settled and I’ll have great views. (Guess they just had a wildfire)
I meant what town or part of the Rockies?

The first time my Dad, Mom and I took a road trip out west, we ran into the Big Horn Mts like in your picture. Being flatlanders, we were totally amazed at them. Then we got to Glacier and WOW!

Ahhhh

Yeah Denver, on a train full of 20 something kids that I’m wondering where they get there money from? I guess they’re the definition of “hipster”

Insane
 
OMG! I wish I had a scrap yard like that around me. Then again, I'd be collecting more stuff than I could use. Go back and grab me the largest kettle pictured and send it to me :laugh: .
I don't think there were any more kettles in there; maybe some industrial cast iron scrap is what you're seeing. There are a couple of teapots if that interests you. :drinkingcoffee:

The round bottom cauldron type. Years ago, some idiot in St Louis put a curb alert on CL for one of those large 20-30 gal cauldron and a 10 gallon one for Free. I'm looking for something in a 10 gal size (cheap). Well, I'm 40 miles away from this guy and by the time I got there, it would have been gone.

Looks great! Love your dishes you post. Well, I just had my weekly fried fresh fish, okra, tomato, onion and libation done in cast iron. Now time for a little rye.

Sounds like y'all ran I-90. Probably hit Buffalo to see the Bighorns. Lived in Buffalo for several years in the late '70s, beautiful country, miss it a lot.
 
What do you guys think? It idles high like it’s Lean when sitting upright, turn it to either side and it goes back to normal. Isn’t this typical of a crank seal(s).

I do need to pull the tank pick up to make sure it does not have a hole in it or is broken off but that should not matter cause it’s full of gas, and it would die when recoil was facing up since it goes in the tank that side.

It ran fine 2 months ago when I cut a stump off with it. Had to do a YouTube link because it wouldn’t let me upload the video directly

I was unable to attend as I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Any idea how it went?
The proposed zoning changes are at https://www.ci.carmel.ny.us/system/files/uploads/townofcarmel.zoningdraft.pdf I pulled out the gun club related section... attached.
My take on it is that the requirements for new clubs are designed to make it impossible to satisfy Carmel... effectively banning new clubs in Carmel. For example:

"In addition to the authority vested in the Planning Board to impose reasonable conditions and safeguards on special use permits, the Planning Board shall impose such conditions and safeguards on the operation of the rod and gun club which, in its discretion, may be necessary to mitigate such problems as noise, public safety and diminution of property values."

This without specifying how any of that is to be measured and what triggers the action.

Kingston did that with new regulations on indoor shooting ranges... Which to me was done illegally because it was done while a new range was in the approval process! It was a targeted action (no pun intended) that affected only one business. The objections by the politicians boiled down to bigotry... The principals took it into a nearby town that welcomed them with open arms (again, no pun intended---or maybe so 😉).

Maybe the Supreme Court will make a positive decision for ranges with the case from MI.
Seems that these folks going after the ranges are more trigger happy than a group of 2A nuts :buttkick:.

Do you even cut wood anymore, or just cook in cast. If i was eating all the good looking grub you cook up, the only thing I'd be splitting is my pants :laughing:.
