That's some winch but that's some price too. My Mules got a 4000 lb. Warn on the front. Only used once to load on my trailer.

 

[RTR]

I could use a Mule,even a 4 legged one

I fervently believe in it! I believe *everyone* in the capitol, should be punished!

Ha yes a trick question, yes I agree, a lot more torture before hanging is too humain for those jokers

I kicked around winch ideas for boats.. Had a winch I replaced on a tracked MaxII sixwheeler I debated about building a removable mount for. That would have allowed front or rear use , plus mounting on the truck to pull up boats , and deer.

There were gas powered , chainsaw powered and more options...
Ended up not finding out a one portable winch fits all applications.
A Warn brand 800G or something would have been fun to try out..

RTR could just put some wheels on one of these.

Ya know? He did do us a favor...by inciting that reaction. Think about it, how in this blessed world!?!? Could a bunch of Yayhoos just climb up and break into the capitol of the strongest country in the world!! I thought that if that was even contemplated!! That those who tried would easily have been *vaporized*!!

The favor? He inadvertently given us a strong kick in the seat of our complete complacency!! Watch how security changes now! All over the country!!
You heard it here first.

Hello, or RTR EEeeeeAaahh. Just don’t call me late for dinner. Do you use a block on that tackle? I have seen a setup for pulling snow machines out of snowy crashes when out running trap lines in Alaska. I have personally used but need updated myself
An A frame system is another way to just lift up a little. I promise to care for your blue car like it was my own disclaimer

The fence that was over run looked like the little league World Series home run “Wall” under construction and not much police brutality...

Good afternoon, me hearties!

Been trying to get this red and green festive stuff put away. Oh, and yesterday was our 38th anniversary, so I was in isolation with the MR. It was not all fun and games. I had the dishwasher going and the phone rang. Upon walking to the kitchen to answer it, I found a pond forming around my island. Not good! That's the 3rd time this thing has done that. I must make a reminder to clean the hard water deposits at least once a year.

Here's a treasure tale for Noah:

In 1862, 3 guys robbed a Canadian bank and fled across Lake Erie. Somewhere around Fairport Harbor (OMG! I was there this year!) they started fighting over it, and 2 were killed and the 3rd buried the treasure and fled to Chicago. He ended up getting tuberculosis, and on his death bed made a confession to the DR and nurse. Supposed to be $50,000.00 (at the time/what would that be worth now?) of gold bullion buried 3 ft deep, some 20-30 paces NW of large oak tree (that's probably gone)near the west bank of Grand river, two miles south of Lake Erie.

Now, wouldn't that be cool if you could take that little bit of info and find it? OOCHEEMOMMA!

Thank you!

Afternoon RTR
I have a few 20K-still not broken them, then again I haven't pulled any barns down with them.
Just looking at the 30K/40K straps are priced the same.

Here ya go P.J..

Gee why do I even attempt to try to reason with a billing company of any service provider for late charges.
It's really simple you send me a paper bill and I will pay it before the due date.

Sir you just have to click on my Telus and view the details....

I'm saying I see this-and only this on the screen.....

Just scroll down at the menu options.....

Look the screen says this and stops......

Just scroll down to view the options for the billing....

OK DAVID-LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AT WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY ​-do you understand David? I said it say only this and it stops-no scrolling-not your fault-get it?

​Sir-Just scroll down on The Your Telus....

1:23 hrs later I have a credit for all the overdue charges, plus 2 credits, plus paper bills once again. But why does this happen in this world.

I think an island requires water on all sides?

Here's a couple more from Lake County. (Oh there are lots up there for Lake Erie itself. Lake and Ashtabula, among others. I will give info if interested.)

-West of Painesville there was a gypsy camp, one family reportedly buried their gold. They were forced to leave in the 1930's. (not much details there)

- Bell Road near Willoughby, robbers were caught, but money was not found. A Brinks robbery in 1950.

Ashtabula County - One of the first state fairs in Ohio was held at Austinburg in 1823. You would need to research to find the exact local.
