He should have had a ski on each foot ,but then again it would be hard...

    2013 season comes to a close

    We will retain the 600 ft. with this purchase and maybe be able to add about 100 ft. more on the east end . Will continue to work on the 300 ft on the west end. Hopefully 3,000 ft. total when done. Lot's of dirt to push to bring that up level. The D-3 Cat will be busy this summer.

    Engineer Ted's How to Make Your Engine Last (ground)

    Yeah Glass is probably cool, I kinda like steam though(except my GPS). Guess I'm not cool.:( Also I,d have to look up how cold effects my 40 year old gauges. Newer ones are probably built to withstand a wider temp range or maybe this whole temp thing is an old wive's tail.

    To add to this A trouble light already has an ext. cord attached and the heat from it rises right up where the gauges are. Maybe less of a safety issue. I think the warning on the fan heater was in general for people that might use wimpy cords. Go with 12 gauge wire and its no different than...
