With a name like Oklahoma Joe, how could you go wrong?Well, the daughter's bday party is tomorrow, and our grill is toast. Have 20+ people coming over (all vaccinated and triple masked ), so I needed to get something today.
Went to buy a nice Weber Master-touch for $220 at Lowes, and also checked out the Acorn (cheap egg grill). The Weber was nice, and supposedly USA made. I wanted it. Wife wanted propane, I wanted charcoal. She found a compromise, and we picked up an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn. Has a propane side and a charcoal side, with a smokebox also.
Sucker has to weigh 400 pounds! All metal wheels too. Still made in China, which sucks, but it is well built/heavy duty. But, $600 later after adding the grill cover and taxes.
Thanks uncle joe!!
That's what I tell my wife, it's sentimental. But when she looks at 10 shelves in the garage with 70+ saws, and calls it hording, I can't argue. I started collecting the 70's Homelites we used when I first started climbing for my Dad. Then threw in some Macs, and then some echo's. It's just hording, I admit it.Looks similar and sounds similar to my 1967 58 c.c. Pioneer 11-60 , I would keep it for sentimental reasons alone lol.
20V Dewalt. I just have two of the standard capacity batteries.What battery tools do you have.
The 60 volt dewalt battery lasts forever on my impact, but it feels like it weighs about 4 times as much at thee standard 20 volt.
Looking forward to more pics of the dock, I liked the innovation doing it thru the ice like that, why get in the water if you don't have to.
Sites been super sucky lately!

Oh was meaning to mention-I left that one beam long as I was thinking about putting a light on top of it.
Still about 18 inches for most of the lake.Looks good.
How thick is that ice still?
i use mid grade and Stihil prem oil. silver bottle. low ash. ran out and so used some pre-mix yesterday afternoon in weeder. good stuff, no eth! just a bit on pricey side. i mean whoever thot you could sell water!? lol... now they can get over $20.00 for a gallon of gasoline. pre-mix or straight up.... $5-6/32 oz.....We have plenty here, I've never seen them check trucks, let alone cars.
I run red/orange fuel in my saws too, they like that maxima k2 .
hi svk, do u skate on it? is the ice smooth on surface?Still about 18 inches for most of the lake.
A lot of the north shore (which gets south sun) has ice pulled away from shore. I’m on the south shore and with the big hill behind me, the sun is blocked for much of the day so there’s still snow along the shoreline.
