-10 degrees, test run for the stove. Nice and warm inside with a little smoke rolling out the pipe. A metal camping plate turned upside down for a stove pipe weather cap. Need to finish welding today, make a hitch, paint the frame and bolt the house down.
Something clever here.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! I hope all the little-guys and gals are feeling OK. My son (4) has been sick and coughing, barfing, and running a fever off-and-on for 6 days. I think he's getting over it just in time.

I decided to toss together a pitch fork for fish today with some junk out in the garage. Cold rolled 1/4" rod, I rolled the bends and cut the pieces.. I bent a strap to captivate the center section of the tines. dry fit befor drilling and notching the strap for plug weld. strap welded, tines cut to length. a little while later... shank is heavy black pipe. handle is thin wall pipe, inserted and plug welded, a short chunk of rod plug welded at the top of the handle with a ring for a rope. [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e...ds/Resampled_2012-12-24_16-49-30_990.jpg[/img] I know it's not the best of materials of the best spear, but I'll heat the spear head red and quench it to try to harden the tines a bit. It's a starter spear. My Christmas gift to Nathan.

Neat spear Dave! Merry Christmas everyone! We were on the way to my parents for Christmas Eve and my truck suddenly lost power and started dinging like crazy. The message board alternated between "stabilitrak is off" "service traction control" and "engine power reduced". I pulled over and messed with the button but that did nothing. Then I limped it the last 3 miles to my parents house and it shifted REALLY hard. Its a 2007 Silverado. (spare me the chevy jokes. Its Christmas!) The check engine symbol was also on. Anybody ever hear of this?

The wife and I are playing with our new Kindle Fire HD 8.9. So far so good.

I've been doing some research on the internets and it sounds like a common problem without a common answer. I may need to rethink this newer chevy thing. My '96 went 250,000 miles without any problems but this '07 sure has way more than it should.
