Is that a fiberglass helmet? Yes it is fiberglass. The entire head is 802 model through and through. Even the tower is 802 - universal steps, oversize sae hex hardware and 1.5" platform. Refer to Macdabs post in July. Removal would be complicated somewhat by the non existence of a brake band. ...

Cost is about $150. 20231128_163433.jpg We have made towers. When handling 20 foot pieces of steel, we drill all the tower holes.

Proper placement is one of the two corner angles on the opposite side of the tower from the furl lever. This keeps it out of the way of the fan and pump rod. Go...

Three onion bulbs in the row... How about a Jackson/Fieldler moment to now? The uncommon has been gathered up quick, doubt you would find that many onion bulbs for sale in one gathering or a line up like that nowadays Thanks for the Ah Shi Sle Pah reference! That was our destination for the eclipse ...

Nebraska is matter of fact with a tourist slogan of "Nebraska. Honestly, it is not for everyone!" ranks right up there with me! Ranking in the last 5 states for tourist destinations keeps all the riff raff out... RP, double check your NE list and make sure these are on there: Cusn Eddyz ca...

There is a wireless IP service that has towers that ring around Denver. They are not identical but I think the one you are thinking of has a large wooden platform with railing that has a windmill and multiple microwave dishes?
