    What did your high school guidence councilor say you should do?

    Mine told me either I would be a cop or go to jail... I guess he knew what he was talking about.  Been a cop for 17 yrs.  Almost went to jail once on liberty in Mexico but the crisis was avoided lol.

    If my math is correct I think that my total weight will be in the neighborhood of 1,000 lbs.

    I've read the reviews and with a little minor tweaking they seem to be ok trailers. For the price of $350 I think it may be alright.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Yes sir. Still lots of finish work. I was thinking of trying to get one of the Harbor Freight 1720 pound trailer frames. Do any of you have knowledge if it will serve my purpose well?

    Made it home with the right amount of holes in me! Only two more weeks of nights. Thank you for your kind words. I wouldn't rather do anything else honestly. I still enjoy going to work. (Better hours would be nice though). I have seven more years til retirement. Maybe then I'll just work...

    My next Smoker

    Every cylinder I have cut has been under tension whether it be a little or a lot.  I have learned that making cuts using less heat (cutting wheels instead of a torch) tends to minimize this.  I put the door seals on my 250 gal propane tank smoker build today.  While welding them in place I...
