calldoctoday It a Miller Bobcat welder. I believe you think I have a skid steer. I just have a Kubota tractor with a backhoe for my small digging work, I have access to a PHD, drag box, brush hog and a few other implements. If I need more, I can borrow my son-in-laws Kubota excavator. We were using it today to remove a very stubborn six-seven ton Douglas fir stump today. Ended up hooking on to it with my truck with a chain and using the excavator to get it out of the hole. My SIL is building a new house, so we are doing a lot of the site work to save him money. I have enough welding equipment to keep me out of trouble, I had to learn to weld when I went to school to become a heavy equipment mechanic. Far from an expert, but it stays together and I can weld most any metal with what I have and most processes.
johnsbrewhouse Yes, my apologies. We have done three & yes, I saved a lot, a whole lot, compared to the normal quality especially. We decided to restore an old one this time, but I have lost a lot of my energy & I am way behind. The problem is when I would get transferred. I will not say I lost, but then I would have to sell for cheap & I have seen multiple buyers of our homes re-sale & rob the bank. That is very depressing.

calldoctoday Easily misunderstood, Bobcat is know more for equipment rather than branding for a welder. I did one house rebuild and sold it for more than I had in it, then lost 50K on it when the deadbeat went bankrupt on me. I chased him through bankruptcy three times and finally got a judgement against him which was worth nothing since he had nothing. I end up with a capitol loss that I can only write off 3k per year due to IRS rules. I think this is finally the last year for the write off. We are waiting for the market to fall right now with all the buyers who couldn’t afford what they bought and buy another piece of property and down size building a new house and sell the one we have. It’s way to big for two of us and we can build what we want and bankroll the rest of the profit from the sale.

25 lbs of W Beef Stick stuffed and just hanging out til tomorrow when it gets to meet the smoker. That seasoning just smells so good!! I’m gonna buy the Willies with MSG and see if there is a big difference between MSG and nonMSG. I’m still probably gonna like the W Beef Stick better though. Look at that particle definition through the casing, that’s what it’s all about!.
twilliams another great looking batch of sticks. Congrats

Small batch processing after rebuilding the smoker and smoking 3 lbs. of pork cushion cubes to use some in Pozole today, I had ground 5 lbs. for making some snack sticks. I did a 2.5 lb. experimental batch of ham sticks which came out excellent using Imitation Bacon unit seasoning and Maple sugar. The other was a 2.5 lb. batch of pepper stick with added black pepper. I’m happy with that stick too.
