    power antenna

    Comes with mixed reviews. As with most everything on Amazon. But 4 stars isn't bad I suppose. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C5T2IY0/?coliid=I2SW1V4NS1U3QS&colid=3H4LKU0FVHV2X&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
  2. I believe the Stanley Hotel was the location for the exterior scenes from the 1997 TV miniseries as well as Steven King's stay there an inspiration to write the novel The Shining. Timberline Lodge at the base of Mt Hood in Oregon is the location for exterior scenes in the original 1980 movie. I used to ski above a sea of clouds on Mt Hood back when I used to be an Oregonian. Timberline Lodge is often nearly buried under snow in the winter.

    wood stoves

    My stove didn't have a tray for the ash so I just left the door open a crack which created a source for air flow up the chimney. Once it was going well enough I could close the door and when it was really going well I could damp it down. Mine had an after burner which was also nice. Less wasted fuel up the chimney.

    wood stoves

    You want the draft or oxygen to move through the fuel and flame. That's why forest fires burn faster and hotter when the there is wind. Top down is slow and ineffective. Get it going and build on it. You don't need anything but dry combustible material, air flow, and a match. Sort of like the internal combustion engine. Spark, more air flow and fuel = bigger fire or...bigger explosion and and more power = more heat...just one you don't need or want to cool with a radiator. You don't need an electric fan. The one presented earlier in the thread gets the blades turning by convection from the heat generated by the stove itself. Sort of like forest fires creating their own weather phenomena.

    That sounds like quite the adventure. Would you mind sharing more of your experiences when you did this? Happy to. Might take a day or so to get to it.
  6. This is the one I meant to post from Denver.
  7. Tried to add text but didn't work. First photo is a couple of days ago. View from my back yard. 2nd and 3rd are from snow shoeing near Pagosa Springs, CO a few years ago.l 4th is my back yard from when I lived in Denver a few years ago.

    wood stoves

    I spent a year not that long ago living off grid (except for internet, gotta have that) at about 8500 feet in a two story (1200 sq ft) cabin. I heated the entire winter with heat from a wood stove with the temp sometimes down to -15. Getting a fire going fast in the morning was paramount. On the coldest mornings the inside temp could down to the high 30's. Best way I found to start a fire was to wrap dry pine cones (the more pitch the better} in newspaper. The number of pine cones in each couple of pages of newspaper determined by size of the cones. Do several of these. Then pile small kindling, usually chopped from the log wood I used to burn, 2x4's, etc. and then somewhat larger pieces of kindling up to one inch or so. Get this going with the flu wide open. Once that is blazing and coals are starting to develop ad in increasingly larger pieces of wood until there is a good coal base and then you can add in larger logs. Don't damp it down until it's good and hot.
  9. Before I installed my S10's I wrapped electrical tape around the original ones until there was enough to create a tight enough fit so they wouldn't fall out. Not elegant but it worked.
  10. That's the one. I use it myself.
  11. 4 door models have the same doors as the MJ.
  12. I lose them half the time when I'm in the process of using them.
  13. Do drink the sugared or the Zero?
  14. Could be for drug smuggling operations, hence the lack of a license plate and it's otherwise incognito appearance. Or......"trunking" in water for domestic consumption?
  15. Just get one of these. You'll be fine!
  16. I seem to be getting all of mine.
  17. This was my situation as well, except for the minus 45. Had only defrost and not particularly hot. Repaired the vacuum line in same spot with shrink tubing und voila...heat in all the right places. My fan resistor needed cleaning for the high speed to work. Also put in ball valve to heater core. Closed summer, open winter.
  18. I've had good luk with luk in other vehicles.
  19. Parking brake assembly if it's still there.
  20. Well deserved proud time for the both of you. Congrats.

  22. Air in the hydraulics is most likely cause.
  23. Where's the miniature marshmellows? Dang, you SC boys know how to cook. Would love to be partaking of some of that. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
