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.....
 
Well , after lots a resurch I now know that I've got to hop up my 241 for moar power !
Dear Unka Rob , can you make me a base/cone/filter holder/thingy for an oiled Fram filter like the one you made in this piccy ?

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!!!
 
Here now! RF 5 this morning. White oak is heating the house nice though!
Over to the woods in a bit to get more! lol
Take care everyone!

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.
