Happy Be-lated Birthday Joey!

I got my casting bench finished, complete with lights, vent/fan and outlets, and I didn't shock myself casted bullets for about 2 hours then decided I better eat today. hope everyone else is taking advantage of this beautiful weather!

What kind of bullets?

I don't really like casting but I need to make about 2k bullets per year. Got a long long way to go.

Well, I sold the ski dozer. lol!

Might be a shock to some, not so much to others as sometimes I don't hang onto toys like that too long.

Yeah I came down with a sickness a while back, boat fever. Some of you may be familiar with the illness.

Well the ski dozer had to go if I was going to get a boat, so I sold it today.

I'm looking for something in the lines of a Lund pro V 1900 IFS or dual counsil, possibly a 19-20 ish ft ranger with a walk through windshield would doo nicely too.

I'm narrowing down the search, I guess I just became a real buyer rather than a tire kicker now that the ski dozer sold.

That's one way to get it to snow.

You just watch it snow friend, I guarandamn-tee it ha!

Get your snow shovels out everybody!!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JOE DOG!!

I was pretty lucky at the Vintage Snowmobile Rally this weekend. Not at home to be able to post pics so I will do it later.

Boat fever you say?

A boat! Now you're talking! Lot's of summer fun and fish frys comin' your way. And, there will be more than enough tinkerin' and repairin' to go around. You won't miss that dozer much other than moving the marshmallow house on and off the ice.

P.S. Temps in the low 50's down here. No ice all winter. Crappie staging around shorelines pre-spawn. Big crappie.

I could get to like a medium sized pile of big crappie.

well today since it was my first time I started on .50 cal round balls for my muzzleloader, after a dozen or so of them I switched to .380 since Kendra emptied some brass for me this weekend. I did a few hundred of those. maybe tomorrow I'll do some for the ol .45 acp. we'll see since I get my little man, I don't really want him out there with me with the lead and all



the white square is actually a vent for a bathroom. I had a blast building the bench and casting finally!

little surprised, but not that much. there will be another one next year I'm sure.

My dad bought an old army container that used to house/hold a radad, its 6'6"x 11' and at least 6' high on the inside, fully insulated and made out of an aluminum shell. he picked it up for 1100 bucks! I told him to put drop down wheels on it and cut holes in the floor. he laughed since none of the lakes ice over by where he lives in southern Co. I bet one of them would fetch 4k at least on LOW. he said its stout and light, and has cargo loops all over inside it with metal drawers built in. the pic he sent was pretty cool, I'll try to get it posted.

here ya go

Well here are pics of my toy I won today. It is a 1969.







Here I thought they were calling to tell me I won the waffle maker (cuz I have 2 of them).

Nice looking boat Tom!

I remember riding one of those in about 1971 and also the Viking sleds made in Twin Valley about the same time. Newer ones ride much smoother. Pretty interesting that they still exist in that condition though. Rode the Wild Rice river in the Ada/Twin Valley/Borup area.

ND,BOAT you say?Hmmmm.Interesting word which is actually an abbreviation for the term "BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND".
I've had boats.The largest one was a 33' Owens cabin cruiser.The smallest was an eight foot dinghy which hung in davits on the back of the cruiser.Boats are great.

Nice retro sled Muffy. That's pretty darn cool. Never won anything even close to as cool at that. You need a little more snow to use it though.

Congrats on the sled, looks brand new.. How did you win that...

Thaks...I actually "un-bought" that boat. I'll explain later when It's all taken care of. So Berrettaman, don't ask.
