The site is so slow this evening my posts are timing out.

Yeah the 1000 foters can't

I have flown over the lakes mid January and seen an odd ship trapped in the ice, not going anywhere but still had a hint of smoke wafting from the stack, must be an expensive venture for the owners.

Some boats can do that......butt not the 1000 footers ice pressure would crush them like an egg shell. A lot of lake boats are ocean vessels lengthened to haul more load....they are built way stronger to withstand ocean swells......the 1000 footers can never leave the Great Lakes......they fit through inter-lake locks but not through the St Lawrence locks.....

Had 3-4" of wet snow fall overnight, got it relocated already and may change over to rain very soon. Hope this clears up before the weekend, the chainsaws are rarin to go cut more wood.

Cold weather starting Friday ,,, for as long as it lasts lol

 

[pioneerguy600]

Had some heavy rain after the snow stopped, washed away a good bit of it, roads are mostly bare now.

With the above freezing all day tomorrow it'll be interesting to see if we'll get enough cold to freeze up that road .

I found that under the new snow the frost did not draw, I had to salt the ice in the driveway to get it off.

I was told I never spent time in a machine shop.
Today I’m on the lil 60 HP machine........not on this one......does it still count?

On the lil 60 hp machine I can make an adapter with one counterbore in a pout 1-2 minutes. Chip to chip. Holding .003.

I track her daily on marinetraffic.com......she left Indiana Harbor at two this morning heading to Superior. I have NEVER seen them run this late before.....lakes usually all hard before now...not this year it seems.....be a short lay-up this season....those boys'll have to work 26 hrs a day when she quits.....both 12 hr shifts will have to work their lunch/dinner breaks...LOL!!!

Good time of year to get some wood out across some low lying areas, plenty of ice now to haul out over. Saws will get some cold weather run time, heated handles are nice at 14F.
