Random pic thread.

My wife doesn't understand that this is a prototype model and completely hates it. I'm pretty impressed with how well it's working despite the tubing being undersized/restricted airflow and the obvious fact that it's an open fireplace. With the thermopen leaned on the hearth with the tip in the exit air, I'm getting 175* air coming out. Next model will have 3" tube on the floor, in and out, and 3x6 (12ga'ish) tubes in back and top. I'm killing my fan with the undersized tubing.

Made another mountain pilgrimage today. Hills were looking nice and clear on 321 heading north out of Granite Falls.

Still impressed by this massive bumblebee transformer off highway 90 between Collettsville and Mortimer.

Little man did awesome on his DRZ70. Tried one of the hardest uphill trails we have and did an amazing job! Couple of small spills, and I had to ride it up the last 1/4 of the hill, but considering it's about a 45 degree slope with 6" of pine needles, leaves, loose sticks, and rocks, weaving through trees for a couple hundred yards, I'm impressed he even tried it.

Also skidded a nice solid oak log down off the ridge and the kids thought that was almost as cool as riding dirtbikes.

Took Little little man for his four wheeler ride too!

And nice sunset over Table Rock and Hawksbill heading up 321 to grab some dinner in Boone.

Welp. Back to looking at dual sports on Craigslist again.

Uh is that prototype going up for sale? : )
 
The bathrooms in the office only have the first page of the paper hung up. We will never know how deep into pound we get or if pound was brought to climactic victory.
I heard Apex is next, then Climax.
