Plowing Snow To The Historic El Mine

[King of Obsolete]

we had to plow some deep surgary snow today with the KOMMUNIST KAT. talk about fun and it was extra cold today too. the SCREAMING FORD had no problem for the little td-6, LOL

old magnet this is the first couple of passes so the d6 9u known as THE HOOD can follow when the snow is stiffer.

never find tractor don in his white coveralls if he fell off the cat, LOL

Hi KoO,
How's the 9U coming along??? about got it back together??? brrrrrr.

pld magnet, just don't ask southern belle about THE HOOD. it was suppose to be a week in the shop for steering clutches and repairs to the sprocket tinny seals things. well 6 weeks later and we are still working on it and fixing just about everything. but it is not really costing much except for time. i told i could just sit on the couch and drink beer and watch TV. so the cat is the better of the two, LOl

THE HOOD is coming, i need him next week for some work. today we had buddy barry's d6d out plowing and moving diamond drills. i can't do this because none of my cats have canopys. safety first. of course the camera didn't take any good pictures, the pictures were darker then tractor don's pictures. if i post them, everyone will think tractor don is up here or i bought the same camera as him, LOL

cuddling on the couch to warm up, LOL

Hi KoO,
So the "HOOD" topic is a little touchy. Eh!!
Sounds to me like your not keeping up with the "cuddling" LOL
I would need more than beer "antifreeze" to survive in that place.
I guess I never told you I was from Quebec. We know what cold is. LOL

Those cameras come from the "dark side" of ebay. Where did you say you got yours??

old magent, quebec, sorry to hear about that, that is a cold place, it is a very damp cold where we get the dry cold. i went to eastern canada once and once only. i found it too cold, LOL

on THE HOOD, i can point out how much money i saved on the cat plus the computer saves me money with all the info i get from the BBs. any excuse from not having a real 8-5 job. that would be like prison to me, LOL

Talk about snow, in upper N.Y. state they have gotten 8 ft. of snow up here just now & I can,t figure how all the buildings can stand so much weight & some haven,t. The club president Jeff Huff is up in that area so I,m sure he is snowed in too.They get that lake effect snow & according to the news it hasn,t let up, up there.

SJ, until I retired and moved to Denver, I lived near Syracuse, not too far from where all that snow dumped. I'd rather be here. The real snow belt for Upstate NY is along the eastern shore of Lake Erie in Chautauqua County (Ron Meeder's territory) and along the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario, north of Syracuse and south of Watertown (Fort Drum where the 10th Mountain Division is headquartered) in the Tug Hill plateau. Redfield really got it according to the news reports.

Joey, I enjoyed your "dark" photos, and thought how nice it was that you have all that snow (and not me)!

And I didn't know "Old Magnet" was a native of Quebec. We learn a little at a time.

KoO,

Have you thought about the idea of moving Southern Belle, the couch and the TV into the workshop?

Southern Belle would have the best of both worlds then, by being able to sit on the couch, watch TV and talk to you whilst you work on the Hood? If you also placed a coffee pot close to the couch, then she could also keep you supplied with refreshments at the same time? Better still, just move into the workshop full time.

thansk guys, we did have southern belle out in the shop last winter when she was sick. she used to sit on a comfy chair beside the wood stove. it was the only thing i could do to keep working on the equipment.
now on sunday we play on the computer and do relaxing jobs.

a fellow sent me the pictures of the high grade hole, but back then the B&W photos don't show the details of today. so i used my computer and zoomed in on the core sample.
