Wood Stove

I rebuilt a wood stove I had in storage. The only textual items on the stove is "Made in West Germany". After puzzling about how to repair the broken leg (everything from welding with tungston rod to fabricating a splice), I found a similar replacement foot. It was similar, so I ended up buying two in order to make it look and set right. It was a fun "little" project. It cost me about $150 in materials and probably took me about 8 hours. I am looking forward to getting it fired up at some point. Since it is going back into storage I am wrapping it up with as much rust inhibitor as I can. I bought some VCI paper for the effort.

I bought a new jeep to replace the old jeep. It is a 1998 Grand Cherokee with only 160k Miles. The 1987 model I have has just short of 300k miles. Some of the parts will be compatible. I still have to figure out the future of parts the 87. Otherwise, it will be going to scrap $$. I put the new jeep on the trailer and towed it back from Rochester. My light duty truck did ok.

I will be moving the ag tires to the new jeep this week.

Deer season opens this weekend. Greg and Dennis are coming down. They are all excited.
