    Site Time Zone?

    Ah, there it is. Thanks. Was set to eastern -5GMT, with DST set to auto. Turned DST to off instead, and the earth has stopped spinning so fast. I hoped it wasn't because I botched the top of the Tardis salt shaker, left it off, and time was leaking out.

    Site Time Zone?

    Ah, you may be on to it. I did recently print a salt shaker model of the Tardis with my new 3D printer. Must have perturbed the space/time thingy-whatsit. Anyone else noticing posts showing 1hr ahead of eastern time?

    How do you protect your Truck from the elements?

    Sorry, no hope. That FL sun and the salty sea air are gonna eat it up. Best to just let me take it off your hands and bring it to the cool mountains of NH, or the dryness of the NM desert where it will be preserved in perpetuity. :)

    Site Time Zone?

    Either the site time zone is off/incorrect, or my profile setting has me in Nova Scotia. Currently in MS with a local time of 0940, but SS posts are showing as 1140. DST? :-? No biggie, just wondering.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - February VOTE HERE!

    New and shiny? Blasphemy!! The 601 is no stinkin staff car. :hammer: But Dewey is due for a buffing out before Weare. I rubbed out the oxidized paint in a couple of spots and the original strata blue gleamed through. She's a looker...unlike WARHAG. Next poll, should WARWAG be banned for...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - February VOTE HERE!

    Foul, I say, FOUL!! :soapbox: How could the 601 not win? An obvious bias against true-blue strata blue! And to think what I had to do to get the votes I got. Now I gotta marry WARWAGs ugly sister, WARHAG. aua At least another KRISTI owner won. [thumbzup]

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - February VOTE HERE!

    Ahh, a man of distinction and a true connoiseur of rare locomotion. You have cast your vote for what may be one of only ten still in existence; a forgotten cold warrior of the ice and snow. You have earned your place amongst the Order of the Blue Icicle. :wink:

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - February VOTE HERE!

    Jumpin catfish, no votes for the 601 yet? And to think I was going to introduce everyone that voted for my 601 to my snowcat mechanic... :roll: But I guess I'll just post a link to more details, pictures, and videos of the 601...

    What is this? I really want one

    The writing on the building in the background looks Chinese, not Korean, so you might be able to order one through Walmart. :rolleyes:

    The good and the bad of owning something tracked and/or armored?

    In the realm of smaller tracked vehicles (not armored), here are the ups and downs of military snow cats. Downs 1. Can't drive them down paved roads without the local road department getting pissy. The metal cleats and ice spikes tend to chink the pavement. 2. 25MPH is considered really fast...

    Yukon Model M1950 Multifuel Stove

    A few people have asked me where they can get a Yukon. I've only found one for sale online, and it ain't cheap (update: and now it's gone). So here is an alternative... A company called Kni-Co Manufacturing sells a line of what appear to be almost Yukon clones, except no liquid burner. However...

    Yukon Model M1950 Multifuel Stove

    Tried her on diesel yesterday. I think there is still between 1/4 and 1/3 left in the jerry can after running for 36hrs+, varying output from a flicker to is-that-a-blast-furnace?!?!? .youtube.com/watch?v=LfSGz9DDeq0

    Yukon Model M1950 Multifuel Stove

    Currently one smoke and two carbon monoxide detectors in sisters house. An equally important safety concern is ensuring an adequate fresh air supply to replace what is consumed by the heater/stove. One rule of thumb I've heard is 2" per 1,000BTUs (from my Camco Wave 3 manual), but that seems...

    Yukon Model M1950 Multifuel Stove

    The Yukon comes with a set of telescoping exhaust pipes; great for compact storage and standalone operation, not so great for adding off-the-shelf parts. The lower exhaust pipe that attaches to the stove is 5" in diameter, and the next 4 pieces reduce by about 1/4" per section until just under...

    Yukon Model M1950 Multifuel Stove

    Still looking good for Feb. Not yet scheduled for any work trips during that time frame. Hope I can bring my own ride and not be a JAFO.

    Yukon Model M1950 Multifuel Stove

    Little sister lives in a single-wide, a nice one, but a mobile home nonetheless. Generally not a place for a wood stove. There is an unheated room added to one side of the mobile home, and that seemed the best place for the stove. The room has a lot of windows/glass, and would otherwise not be...

    Yukon Model M1950 Multifuel Stove

    Oh so many moons ago, this airman was sequestered to northern Alaska, on the side of a mountain, in not much more than a portable meat locker. Quietly keeping tabs on Ivan and other ne'er-do-wells, 'feasting' on LRPs, counting the days until the return of the Jolly Green, and listening to the...

    New Mexico members check in here!

    OK. Replied via SMS and waiting on a date/time. Anyone else?

    New Mexico members check in here!

    I seem to unexpectedly find myself in town this week and weekend, so I can be there. I'm on the other side of the river in the Enchanted Hills subdivision. No rolling stock here, but I can tell tales, both true and less than true. :whistle:
