Great day yesterday cutting trees and clearing for a new remote cabin. 10 yrs in the making, finally pulled the plug to start. Cabin will be used for hunting and a place to get away. My buddy got the land on the remote staking program in Ak, can only reach it by boat in the summer and sleds in the winter.fa2532e1180a2d96e8b94bcd43fb70d6.jpg

That is awesome very jelous please keep us updated.

I will post pictures as we move along. Hardest part is timing the river to be able to haul our materials in, floor material next week and then walls after that. This thing called work is getting in my way, if I hadn't started a new position in the company I would take a week off.

Thats awesome!!! How far of a trip is it from where you park the truck/car to the property?

 

Sounds similar to my in-laws cabin in Northern Ontario. It's either across the lake by boat or sled to get to the cabin.

 

Looking forward to pics of the progress.

It's not that far, about 1 1/2 miles. It's secluded with no road noise. Not much progress lately as schedules and weather don't want to work in our favor. Ice is starting to get questionable too, broke through this past weekend while hauling the floor material

Going good, got most of the floor material hauled in this weekend after a fiasco last weekend of going swimming in the river. Picture is the hole my sled and I created in chest deep water at 2 above on the thermometer. Did not get a pic of the sled still in the water as I was worried about getting it out and then dry clothes and warmth for me. 43fee845c2150eaf26db36d352490f26.jpg

Loads 1 and 2 for the day, one more day of hauling and we start building. This thing called work is really putting a damper on things.

Flooring about done, long day thawing the ground to set the pillar blocks, beams and joists. Ice decided not to stick around on the river so now have to wait so I can get my boat in the water to finish building.

Very cool! What's it look like now?

Funny you ask as I was getting ready to post a few pics. Last wall and roof tomorrow, fingers crossed.

      A little girl said her prayers every night before bed and she asked G d to watch after each person she loved. One night she forgot to pray for her babysitter and her babysitter died. A few days later she forgot to pray for someone else and they died. The next night she forgot to pray for her dad. The next morning her dad was terrified. A bus almost crashed into him. He almost fell off a fifty foot ladder and almost wrecked on the way home. When he arrived home, he said I had a terrible day. His wife replied, “You think you had a bad day? My aerobics teacher died during class.

      Nice! I had one here, once. The car dealer I used to haul for stopped by with it. That was over 10 years ago now. Those are SUPER rare these days, especially up here! Never even see them at car shows anymore.   https://postimg.cc/0rvcNZ1W

      I remember watching one of the auctions on TV. It just happened that they had two little red express trucks. My brother bought one new in 1979, still has it. So I hung on to watch them cross. The retro redone example brought more bids and went for more money than the original one did. My brother has redone his 3 times and raced it. He’s now in the process of making more tame for cruising.

      I always upgraded the suspension and steering components - bushings and ball joints, and had older cars that I could out-corner ANY modern car with. I used to be able to take my '78 Cutlass on off-ramps at stupid speeds and make the sharp MA corners without even squealing the tires. So much fun. My '72 El Camino must've had work done by the previous owner, since that thing seemed to handle even better than the '78.   I think the suspension & steering on the '72 was much more advanced than the '64, so that probably just made a good system even better.   I'm the same way with vehicles. I hate having to worry about the paint on my '93 W250 Cummins. I'm not used to that, lol.   https://postimg.cc/mzKr55sY

      BEAUTIFUL!! That a Cutlass F85? Or 442? My side-ID skills are lacking thanks to failing memory, lol. Love that color & year, too!   Yeah I was never big on entering my own stuff, but I always liked seeing what everyone had, the rare models, and what's been modified. That was always fun. These days I have barely enough time to do what needs to be done at home.    Oddly enough, here in MA there are more car shows than ever in history! You'd think up here it would be dead, but it's bigger than EVER!          Took the 940 for its maiden voyage with the carburetor. At first I couldn't get out of the yard! This originally had the "Bosch" system (our other 940 has Regina - single fuel pump in fuel tank, and space-age-looking ignition coil on driver's fender) - that has dual fuel pumps. One in the tank, and one under the center left of the vehicle. I had unplugged the external one thinking I wouldn't need it with the carburetor ... but the way I have the pressure regulator hooked up, 90% of the fuel volume is going back to the fuel tank, so cranked all the way down, the regulator is only supplying a hair above 3.5 PSI to the carb. Turns out the in-tank pump (15 PSI alone, instead of 45) couldn't handle the load. Plugged it back in and went for a rip. Ran great!   Throttle response is always amazing with carburetors. ZERO delay that no FI system can reproduce. Also fires up in half the crank rotations as before. Low end power was DRAMATICALLY improved. There was an ongoing lean issue with the FI that I got tired of figuring out, so this is a MASSIVE improvement! Above 50 MPH on hills it feels SUPER weak, though. This is more than likely due to the timing not being advanced enough by the computer, since it believes there are multiple failures. I can live with that through the winter. Will keep me from passing slowpokes where I shouldn't and getting speeding tickets at least. 😁
