Title: Snow Toys
Post by: Roger2561 on December 26, 2012, 11:17:24 AM
Well, we're gonna hit by a nice snowstorm over night and through tomorrow here in NH.  I'll be going out to my work shop to make sure the tractor with the front end snow blower starts and I'll check the fuel level while I'm there.  One of my younger brothers just purchased one of those Polaris Rangers, 4X4's.  Instead of tires, he had the tracks put on it.  He'll have plenty of snow to play in after tomorrow.  He's going to use it to collect the sap for his sugaring setup. 

We had 10 degrees this morning.  Perhaps it's the coldest morning we've had all year.  The OWB is keeping me nice and warm, though.  Stay warm everyone.  Roger

I remember going up that we used to have much more snow on the ground by now.  If the winters could be like they were, I'd still have my snowmobiles.  But, I cannot see spending that kind  money for perhaps a couple of months use.  I can use my motorcycle even if it's 20 degrees outside as long as there is no ice and/or salt on the roads.

Jack - Which is more fun?  The red-headed wife or e 1450?

How's your e-1450 operating for you these days?  My e-1400 has been running without any hiccups.  It's in the lower 20's, snowing like the bandit with a fierce wind out of the north east and it's cozy in my house.  The funny thing is, I have learned that all it takes is 5 or 6 logs about 8 inches round by 24 inches long every 12 hours to keep my entire house at 70 degrees and keep the DHW nice and hot.  By not over filling it, the coal bed stays strong but not to deep.  Also, with the colder temps, the creosote level has dropped dramatically. 

Stay warm!  Roger

   To answer your first question she is more fun when she is not working less crabby and  summers off and holidays/1st gradeTeacher  ;D                      2nd question     The 1450 is running good thanks  It seems to me when I run t alot of full rounds in there it eats up my coal bed so I usually don't throw to many full rounds in unless I mix with split stuff unless I misunderstood you.          It hasn't been real cold yet  they are saying 5 degree lows for next week though.. We will see          How much snow did you get?
