i never seen a cow peeing on a flat rock... dont have many flat rocks up at my place! lol
looks fine MM - vension? i got some i plan to take out of freezer later today... thaw... leek soup w/venison is the plan. yum
sounds like a heck of a deal, rf - for life? yours or the engines? just wondering....
'yes, sir! new engine time, not covered! says for life... I know... 485,000 miles!... but sadly, the rod bearing wore, it threw the rod, through the block... and oh well... that's it! dead. we warrantied if for its life!'
one has not lived until they can add that to their repetoire of life's best? experiences... an AK bushman will relish such convenience in the death of winter's grasp... and not cold outhouse exp? ha... no comment needed!
and i can say, been there, done that! brrr... of a morning! central Ohio... middle of winter. pipes frozen... and Mother Nature tapping my shoulder! 14" cold snow.
... and out to the cold (very) outhouse we trek'd....
I was at a craft show almost 40 years ago and a guy had a bunch of Mandolins he made. I wanted one to hang on the wall just because they were pretty. He played Amazing Grace on one for me. It had the softest sound, and with that song, almost brought tears to my eyes. It was honey colored, almost like Oak. It was very light. I asked what it was. It was Sassafras. I still have it, unfortunately, I can't carry a tune in a 10 quart bucket, much less play it. It's still pretty.I don't go out of my way for sass but it is a good fire starter. I found some splits in a pile of wood i had bought and it was super dry and very light. I guess the guy I got this load from was a real scrounger. I found about a dozen or so wrist size pieces of grapevine cut to length.That stuff is great fire starter.
if u get the E CS-271 - pretty sure you will like it! i

mine! actually, like all my Echo stuff. 
if ur deal is for both would be interested in ur thots on the 2511, too... no doubt cute n sassy! my 271 is anything but a toy saw! 
some say laughter is akin to shivering... both can help you warm up...
Yes it's wood burner. The fire brick panels that came with it cracked so I wanted extra protection. So I just set in 2 rows of 1" brick.
We are up to 12 degrees now. Supposed to be 37 degrees next Monday!
Did ok fishing yesterday, and had a good time. I think we caught 15 walleyes which is fabulous for regular lakes but slow up there.
It was -30 on Tuesday night. We were actually too warm sleeping in the fish house!

First and smallest fish of the day but it netted me $20. My youngest son won “most” and “largest” categories.
Guys... dudes... homies and sisters... we finally got a tractor!! So I’ve been kinda wishing and dreaming for a couple years now for a tractor. I’m literally a little kid now. TRACTORS ARE SO FUN TO DRIVE. Oh yeah it’s my first tractor. Ok so we contemplated buying new + interest (disgusting) or buying used. For our first tractor we couldn’t justify 50k pre-interest or 68k after 15 years so we decided to go used. Holy is it ever fun. I always dreamed of sitting in orange or green. The day has come. 2007 Kubota B7800 with loader/bucket and snowblower. I know you Americans don’t use snowblowers much but they’re the thing to have here. I for once want some more snow. The boys wanted to come in after being outside two hours so I stayed for another hour and played around with this thing. Okok I’ll stop rambling since most of you guys already have a tractor. Anyway, here’s a few pictures. The two areas beside the garage were never properly cleaned. A few minutes later and it’s now clean and prettier on both sides! The goal for this tractor this summer is to find the best way for us to make it useful on our wood lot! Yeeeeeeeya!

A couple days ago I posted that my Blue Birds are back in town. I saw a Male fly in the box, so I started watching, and 4 came out of the box. I read that they will squeeze as many in a box as they can to stay warm. Yesterday I saw two fly in, then a third male stood in the hole and kept sticking his head and shoulders in. I was wondering if there were so many in there he wouldn't fit. Then a female flew up and sat on the fence. Every time he would lean forward, she would get closer. One time he leaned half way in the hole and the female flew up, landed on his back, ducked her head down and ran right up his back and into the hole. The Three Stooges couldn't have done better.
I did the 'AK outhouse' back in 1956, My first assignment in the AF was NE Cape, St. Lawrence, AK. I thought that was remote. Nope, couple months later they moved me to the opposite end of the island at a small army detachment. "facility" there was a couple 50 gal drums with a 2-holer built over them. Flap door allowed forklift to pick up the barrels for burning. Absolutely no insulation at all, only protecion was that flap door that fit looely. Good wind would blow straight up. Real fun at around 20 below.
This is cracking me up! It's like watching the clown car at the circus. 4 in, and 4 out, I wonder if there are more in there.
Spent a summer in AK in a remote location. The outhouse had two stories: snow accumulation in winter required the upper level (‘waste’ traveled down a stove pipe, past the first story).
Upper level also had a pile of pebbles: apparently, one has to ‘weight’ the toilet paper when windy.
Philbert
Out at Philmont, in NM, they had one, two, and three holers. Of course this was in the summer, but no building, no door, nothing but a wooden box over a hole in the ground. This is the 368,000 acre Scout Ranch. The single seaters were called fighter planes. The two seaters were Pilot and Co Pilot, and the three seaters were Pilot, Co Pilot, and Bombardier. They were all on a grassy knoll, with a beautiful view. I think most of the boys would hold their poop till they were ready to burst before sitting on one of those things.
