Won't be long before you're saying "I can't believe I went this long without a mini-ex."

Thanks Russell. Yes. Know about those. I had planned on keeping this "portable" as we are still stumping, sifting and cleaning up for fields and orchards eventually. Well, septic and high tunnel going in this year. Once I have an equipment shed or barn, I'll set the tank in there. In the...

Yes and yes. Can do both.

Thanks,. Made the roof large so it would shield tank from wx. We are near the apex of a hill, so I should have anticipated the wind however. More storms today. I'll pull the mini-ex up along side and use straps/chains to anchor it until I can come with a better solution. Idea was for this to be...

Yep, still mud season in my corner of NH as well.

Dodged a bullet yesterday. Got a frantic call from my son at the woodlot during a thunderstorm that the diesel transfer tank shed has tipped over in the wind. Rushed up there and sure enough, tank was upside down. Miraculously, not a drop of diesel spilled. That cap has a gasket that did its...

Yes, alas. My TS440 and various other rigs have been stored in some forgotten, dusty box somewhere in the garage for 2 decades. School and work got in the way. Now that I'm "semi-retired", I'll try to pull out the gear and relearn CW. I enjoyed QRP operating as well. A kick to see how far 5...

My issue is with Erithizon dorsatum. The little #%^(^$+'s chew up my hemlocks, killing them as well as crap in my barn. I am told they also chew on tractor tires. They nest in an abandoned house next door which is filled with quills and feces. Wife thinks they are cute and refuses to let me...

Ham operator? WM1R Here.

I've been using those for lobster and butter!
