My budget could be more. I was just thinking a starter before they get banned. I'd trade BBQ and BBQ training for help :)

I'd need guidance, and lots of it.

I'm currently looking at this https://shop.whittakerguns.com/product/368 as an entry level evil weapon and need an FFL or someone with a better rifle and/or price that I can buy locally.

Have you seen the episode of RoadKill about doing wheelies in Stubby Bob? Laughed my ass off. If you haven't, Stubby Bob is a 1950 Ford F6 dump truck with the bed removed and the frame shortened. In this episode, they pulled the motor and put a 454ci from a motorhome in the back and put a...

Is she still willing to walk around at night with a flashlight looking for the trail ?

Slightly friendlier version of the map http://tinyurl.com/SpanishFork-to-CedarCity

Twisties in a 6000lb brick, what could go wrong :)

I'm up for it.

If this were the following weekend I'd go. I just don't think my daughter would appreciate me taking off with the truck on the weekend when she is moving into her dorm. :) don't forget to go over the pass and check out the Newhouse mine, and then go up the east side of the WahWahs to Revenue...

if the swr steadily decreases from 40 down to 1 then the antenna is just too long. (better SWR at lower channel with longer wavelength means antenna too long) If it dips near the middle and then comes back up it just has a narrow bandwidth and you'll have to live with a narrower range of usable...

Thanks for the complements, folks. The trip really changed my thinking for the next trip, specifically, I'll pick a particular area to explore, set up camp, then do day trips from there. I can set up more stuff (I have a shower tent and EZ up) and not have to deal with the tear-down and repack...

We moved into our house in Draper June of 2011 after a winter with huge snow falls. The finished basement started taking on water the day we moved in. Not a happy camper. Our solution was to knock a hole in the floor and put in a large 2" sewage/sump pump in a 36" deep sump. I calculated from...

Thursday was overcast with intermittent rain, but I hiked from the cabin to Sugarloaf peak and back. I fairly simple 7.2 mile hike if it wasn't for the 2200 ft of elevation gain. Once at the top I snapped this panorama with my phone just before the rain started in earnest and I hightailed it...

Wednesday we took a day trip up to St. Mary's glacier and lake. A fairly quick but rough hike with a great place to spend the day at the end

Tuesday was the day we experienced the Georgetown Loop Railroad and a mine tour. The steam locomotive (converted to burn diesel) The Engineer Devils Gate Bridge various mine machinery... a pump A generator A dynamite warmer (hows that for sketchy?) Dinner that night was in Idaho...

The agenda for the next day was a trip up to Mt. Evans. At 14,130 ft, this is the highest paved road in the U.S. The air is a bit thin, but the views are spectacular. We were very lucky with the weather too, a nice balmy 72* with almost no wind. Looking north Looking South After lunch...

Sunday dawned with heavy overcast skies so I shook the kids awake early so we could get the camp torn down before the rain hit. Loaded up, we buzzed on down to Vernal for a leisurely breakfast at Betty's diner. Another win in the food department. Pancakes, a homemade sausage patty the size of a...

This was kind of a last fling with my daughter and her boyfriend before she went off to college this fall. The original plan called for two nights by Flaming Gorge, followed by a couple nights at my sister's cabin above Idaho Springs CO, with more nights camping and crossing various passes after...

I have a Stihl and am happy. That said, gas is important. Mavericks new station in Draper at Minuteman Drive and Highland Drive has "Clear 88" at all pumps (88 octane, no ethanol, blue pump handle) and that is all I feed my yard equipment. I've replaced/rebuilt a few carbs due to ethanol...

If you need to tow much or spend much time at elevation and value peace and tranquility, the Eco will shine. Hook all three up to 8k# and drive up to Soldier summit and you will know. All three can do it but the Eco will do it at much lower RPM and sound levels. I used to pull about 8200#...
