I make sure I start it once a week if I haven't been going anywhere just to keep the battery charged.<br /><br />Which reminds me...I need to change the oil in it.....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-26919916849973369572019-03-03T11:44:59.808-08:002019-03-03T11:44:59.808-08:00Glad things are working, and looks like a great pa...Glad things are working, and looks like a great party! :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-2937757312657079712019-03-03T11:28:31.285-08:002019-03-03T11:28:31.285-08:00Seems a waste to use such high-strength pipe for f...Seems a waste to use such high-strength pipe for fence posts.<br /><br />And a 6" post? Hang a gate, maybe?<br /><br />I don't understand throwing away brand-new pipe, either. It still has the plastic plugs in the ends to keep it clean inside! But he has good-paying customers who call him to clean out various sites where drilling and fracking have been set up, and he just drags everything away that's tagged. He hauled away a nearly new 200 HP, 480 Volt motor last week. Makes you wonder about who's running these companies that they don't have their own salvage operations.<br /><br />We don't have to drive them in. The "Family Bobcat(s)" have auger attachments, and they can drill a 36" hole down about six feet without having to add extensions. I think they might have a 48" auger, too. Drilling the hole and setting the pipe will probably take less time than it does to unload/reload the Bobcat off the trailer!<br /><br />Hmmmm....6" bore, black-powder cannon.....got any 6" bearing balls?drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-21750353289472873422019-03-03T11:18:12.298-08:002019-03-03T11:18:12.298-08:00It was great, Brig!

And since you see them every day, subtle changes pass by.<br /><br />Ah..but being a grandparent is different. We have the time to dote on them, and since we don't see them daily, all the new things they learn (and pick up) are new to us, and really stand out.<br /><br />It's about 15* here, and we only got an inch or two of snow last night.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-28734806402237077012019-03-03T06:29:34.405-08:002019-03-03T06:29:34.405-08:00-1° this morning.

So many things to do with all of it. <br /><br />First, well, you have to stack a huge pile of it, of course.<br /><br />Piledriving a wall of pipes into or behind the backstops to stabilize them would be a good use, too!<br /><br />And... well, black powder cannon sound like fun things to make...Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-59705236216750327022019-03-02T22:50:10.427-08:002019-03-02T22:50:10.427-08:00Sounds like a great time!
