_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted July 15, 2023 I was thinking..... I can't compete... At all with some of these fine items... Fish i know your loaded with nice neat rare items.... So this is one my bits.... I was talking to slammed about a HVAC filter issue desided I'd post up the custom intake grate i had made from an old tobacco barn that had fallen... I think it looks much better then the old off white metal intake cover... It's not much, n i really don't know why i disliked looking at that off white intake grate, i know i just did... Plz no comments on the filter... Those are temp filters.... I'm going with the best i can get what ever the cost... This is another reason i don't see one thing with having wealth long as it's earned correctly... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup history is a big reason i had it made... The central heat and air tech advised me to make changes so more sir could pass.... So this is after the remake .... Its barn wood from an old tobacco curing barn (example) oak i believe.... Whatever species it is it's not hard to drive nails into... But weather takes years to break down the wood to a point it's too weak to hold all that heavy green tobacco... You'd be shocked at how much weight those barns handled when full several tons.... I couldn't even ball park it .... Within a reasonable time....i know we've hung several 32 foot long gooseneck trailors in just one barn.. I'd guess well over 80.000 lbs because a few gooseneck loads would fill a van semi trailor completely.... Could be more then 100.000 lbs ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted July 16, 2023 I recon this thread is best for this next critter.... I kept hearing a (sounded like a very sick small engine) engine, one that I've never heard before... It would rev up then die off...nothing like a weedeater... More like a leaf blower.. But still defrent....i have several outside listening devices.... Directionl, but this sound was being transmitted from each one... But the sound wasn't loud enough to carry far.... So went out to see the deer, n spotted this critter buzzing around... I don know off hand how high this guy was but he was up there... Way too elevated for me... But i think those ultra light, or i recon there called para gliders ? Have parachutes ? ..... I think i know who this might be ? Anyways pics flying so high .... Like the sunset pic just should have napped it before he turned 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

56Sierra 1,844 Posted August 1, 2023 Last night I took the "Big 10 inch" to a local private airstrip on top of a hill near me. All the weather-liers claimed 0% sky cover at 22:00. Guess what? They lied. By 10 PM the visibility got so bad I packed up and headed home. This scope was purchased used at about 30% the cost of new. The previous owner couldn't get any decent viewing the first time he used it and boxed it back up. He waited too late to return it and 6 month later sold it to me. A very simple fix. One screw holding the heavy mirror in the back had come loose. I added an incline meter from Amazon and printed a 360° scale for the base. Using one of many phone apps I can the altitude and azimuth of anything in the sky and it works great. On top behind the eyepiece is a wooden phone holder bungee corded to the tube. This was an experiment to try a phone app that uses the phones gyros to locate objects. It didn't work nearly as well as my printed circle and cheap incline meter. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a portable 5" tabletop scope in the travel position. The eyepiece and secondary mirror slides out and locks in place for viewing. Note the plywood adapter I made for the top of my tripod to bring it up to viewing height. Also the setting circle I printed and glued on with adjustable pointer. I'm leaving the 10" at home this winter and taking it's baby brother south with me 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
