Re: Gray Man, Inc.
If you go back a couple of pages you'll see that I was smitten with the idea of buying a Dorsett about a year ago They built quite a few of them, but 60+ years later, they don't pop up very often. One just came up for sale locally and I'm afraid if I go look at it, I'll probably drag it home. I coul...

Re: Around Waynos house
I have about half a dozen different melon plants and haven't gotten past the flower stage yet. You're waaay ahead of me.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Thanks for reading the novel, Tater. This was the 4th year for a trip like this and it's the last with this crew. I was butting heads with one of the guys all week and it finally popped off at my house the night we got back. We go back to grade school but I've distanced myself for the last few years...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
On the morning of day 7 we backtracked a few miles to Clark Fork to resupply. Ate breakfast at Cabinet Mountain Bar and Grill. Most of the staff and patrons looked like they were still there from the night before. Food wasn't very good and neither was the service. There's a loop above Clark Fork tha...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Avery is probably most noteable for its rail museum. It was pretty interesting. https://i.postimg.cc/wTxLFZF8/20230722-092128.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Kj0KdcQX/20230722-093920.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jd92NFFh/20230722-094713.jpg As you leave Avery and head to Wallace there are 2 route options. One ...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
We stayed at Riders Rest in Elk City. The proprietor has created a 4 space campground behind his cabin. Each space has water, electricity, a covered picnic table, and fire pit. There are also 2 bathrooms and 2 showers available and he even provides towels and bodywash. It's a great mid-trip stop. ht...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
On day 3 we all got up around 6, had breakfast, and broke camp. We rode up the goat trail to Trinity lookout (9500'), which was technically a side spur to the route but not to be missed. https://i.postimg.cc/zXP4vXWB/20230718-083400.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RhhXxKgT/20230718-085130.jpg https://i.pos...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Just got back from riding the IDBDR. We had conflicting odometer readings but it was right around 1600 miles total over parts of 8 days. Day 1 everyone met at my house and we rode 2-lane road to Wild Horse Reservoir. We were too excited to leave and didn't get a group shot at the beginning so this i...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Copper is preferred but very expensive. Aluminum is very common for service line from the pole to meter and meter to breaker panel. I made a master map with length and depth measurements. Even if I don't need it, a future owner of the property would certainly appreciate it. Remember 3 weeks ago when...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
It's funny now but I threw an absolute sailer tantrum when it happened. When I hit it I was imaginig having to replace the entire run of wire. I think it cost about $1100-1200 the first time. I wasn't looking forward to paying that again. Luckily it only cost maybe $20 in materials to fix.

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
:rofl: :( Funny you should say that. I snagged my shop power, just enough to make a mess and add extra work. Luckily the only wire that was actually damaged was the neutral. One of the power legs was nicked and severed exactly 1 aluminum strand. The insulation on the ground wire was nicked. I was ab...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
Dinky house project is winding down. Spent the last week running utilities to it and the bathroom in my shop. I don't enjoy this type of work. https://i.postimg.cc/mgj960XD/20230629-100625.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fbZPhLrj/20230705-084055.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/k50J5KwG/20230705-084108.jpg https:/...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.
I dragged home my next project yesterday. 2011 Outback Limited (leather, Harman Kardon, etc) with low oil pressure. It runs and drives but clatters. Previous owner was a middle-aged teacher so it's got near perfect interior. Exterior looks pretty good too but it could use a good detail. I'll need to...

Re: Around Waynos house
Yeah, I'm at 2500'. It's probably a number of things. The area I live would be a desert without the irrigation. Also, the spot my garden is has been pasture for the last hundred years. I brought in some goat manure a couple years ago but haven't done much else for ammendment other than till the weed...

Re: Around Waynos house
I'm with you on that. I had raised beds the last 3 years and they were more trouble than they were worth. Everything is in the ground this year. It's a constantly evolving process. You've been at it 25 years and still improving. I'm only 3 years in. I'm impressed with what you do in a suburban back ...
