It is a time rake machine that’ll level a hole dug in the sand, pick up seaweed and debris, trash, etc. the back of it is a hydraulic dumpster! The couple times I have went to Ocean City MD they also "groom" the sand/ beach early in the mornings to keep it A1 condition for all the beach goers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you just needed a good place to put them and you talked her into it. Pretty slick. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,884 #1190 Posted December 24, 2020 Yesterday, we flapped our wings real hard and landed ourselves in the baggage claim in Detroit, MI. It was 50-ish outside and t-shift weather still if you ask me. We drove home and sorted a few things and hit the hay. This morning, everything is white! Not 35” white, but enough to say it might be a white Christmas! Enjoy your family everyone, and give someone you love a phone call, a hug or kiss. We need that for our soul, maybe more than we need to distance. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,004 #1195 Posted December 29, 2020 Time to run another loaf of bread in the bread machine today. Didn't look quite right while it was mixing. Looked even stranger when it was finished: First epic fail I've had out of the bread machine. Not sure what I miss-measured. Then again, if I knew how I did this, I could do it again for chili bowls! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, if I figure out what I did to make it, I'll name the recipe Wisconsin Whole Wheat Cheese Head Bread. I've got another batch in the machine. This one looks 'normal'. Looks like the first batch today had too much butter, and the flour/liquid ratio was too far on the liquid side. That malformed loaf tastes great. We've been slicing on it all night.

Mickwhitt 4,624 #1200 Posted December 29, 2020 No need to ask twice! Made short work of the drive then did the pavements up and down hill. Performed admirably. It was a good shakedown for a brand new home built plow. Some details to attend to but very happy with first trial. Mick 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
