A real clean 73 and up a Suburban would be in the mid teens . One like mine mid 20s . Forget a 72 and older burban those are mid teens for a beater that needs just about everything 4x4 would add a few grand . Reason being all the guys with kids are buying them up a cool show vehicle that they can put the rug rats in . Even the 3+3 trucks are getting stupidly priced
We have lots of new Ash growth from the Ash keys that are spread all over the ground. I figure in 10 years I'll know if they survive or not. Right now my obsession is to remove all the diseased trees to stop the spread. The immediate issue is I have 5 trees to remove near my house. I can't remove them without destroying my lawn because the ground is still not frozen.
I have noticed that my splits do dry faster when put in the boxes I build,
While freezing will concentrate the sugar but marginally I do it all the time. The most I’ve ever gotten by freezing and removing the chunks and slush was 8% sugar content my trees produce between 3 and 4 % which is actually very high . But you need 66% or 66 brix on the hydrometer to be syrup .
Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The pipe specs also have to match your port size, port timing, ignition timing and carb mods and your RPM range. Gitting it right usually involves a lot of experimentation. I'm sure a little research could get you in the ballpark, the trick is to get a working pipe that still lets you effectively use the saw.I wonder if there's a specific make/model guide line to building a pipe? There must be info on it out there I would think.Also, NOS?
Ive seen NOS kits fir saws on the internet, but I have no idea how much NOS would Improve performance? I've heard from both sides of that coin!
I suspect their expectations might have been a little different than ours too. I like my syrup thick and sweet!
Depending on bullet selection, the 338-06 seems to be a great compromise between the 30-06 and 35 Whalen. Both of the larger bores are capable of providing more power than the 06 initially, but the 35 Whalen generally losses power faster as the range increases. Conversely, the 338 caliber bullets often have a higher BC than the other two, further increasing the power over distance.Honestly I was a bit on the fence when It came to the 338/06. Never really paid much mind to it as factory ammo is not accessible here on the Island. Infact Im not sure any major ammo manufacturers produce factory 338-06. Being as I don't reload yet I've always steered away from wildcat cartridges. However, after reading more and more on the 338-06. It has definitely raised an eyebrow! Seems like an outstanding hunting cartridge suitable for any North American medium to big game. As well as several different African species also!I'm very curious about the cartridge now Mike!
You just need to learn how to spell Whelen... lol
I have to wonder if it was done to remove a lot of water prior to heating… it would save a lot of fuel (whether wood, gas, or oil).
I do it if the weather cooperates. At 2% you need roughly 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup . The amount isn’t linear either at 4% is roughly 27 gallons of sap which my trees are around every year naturally . I once got it to 8% prior to boil went to less than 20 to 1.
That was the idea yes.
Extremely low compared to previous winters. As we are having a mild winter this year here on the Island. By this time last year I had gone through six cord of Spruce between Oct 1 and Jan 15th. This year I may be at half that!
No complaints from me! The Blacktial should fair good if this weather holds warm fir the rest of winter. Means fir BIG bucks this coming fall! "If" it stays warm!
My buddy has a Blacktail from up there from when he was in the coast guard. I told him it was small compared to the ones you had posted pics.Extremely low compared to previous winters.
