Camp does have internet and a smart thermostat and cameras. However, I have no way to monitor the fluid temperature or shut off the circulator pump remotely.

I looked at some aquastats on Amazon, (thank you for telling me what they are called). Some can work either by a set temperature or as a timer. I’m thinking I could monitor the temperature by attaching the temp probe to the side of the water pipe.

I do not want to re-direct fluid flow. I want to turn the pump off when the fluid cools down. A timer is an option I thought about but would rather go by temperature. The time it takes the water to cool down would vary and I think temperature monitoring would be more efficient. I will have to...

I have a camp that in addition to an oil-fired boiler also has an outdoor wood boiler. My problem with using the outside wood boiler is that I will typically be at the camp for maybe a week or less at a time. That doesn’t allow much time for the outside boiler water to get hot and more...

I have my backhoe on dirt and no problems. I made a couple of stands the backhoe rests on so there is no concern with any outrigger leak down. I also have a cab and the backhoe frame extenders. I do not remove them, but you have to be careful the lower links aren't too close together or they can...

I try to not let my wife see me do odd things.

This is how I do it and the detergent I use. I figure if Dawn works on ducks, it should work fine on an air filter.

No, but I can't disclose the actual location to you. Your friend knows the details, but don't ask him, he doesn't want you to know. Trust me, I've done these types of transactions in the past and I haven't been prosecuted yet.

Your friend contacted me and told me he couldn't make it to your place to pick it up. He can't get out of that wedding and has to attend. He asked me take delivery, and he would make arrangements to pick it up here. Please have the dealer ship it directly to me and your friend will reimburse you...

I love the snow! Without it I wouldn't get as much tractor time in the winter. Once it's gone I will still have plenty to do with my tractor. Always have plenty of seat time.

I'm going on 9 years since I got out and looks like I will be scheduled for at least another 10 years of projects. I hope I can still do them 10 years from now. :unsure:

@McMXi, what modification did you do to the steel flap rod. I can see me maybe needing that some day. Sorry to hijck this thread, but I gotta know

Leaving snowblower on ain't working for me. Mine is still on and getting used. It's now snowed everyday this "Spring". But's it's 40 degreees today. Time to take off the snowblower!

Same with my tractor, just remove the bolts and the roof easily comes off. This is how it's done on my tractor: Remove all four bolts in the front. There is a push pin in the center which does not need to be removed. On the sides remove three bolts, front, middle and rear. Same for both sides...

Snow stopped last night! It had snowed Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My thermometer says 27, you may want to check yours, it must be broke :) Hey wait, today is Tuesday, that means it snowed Monday too!
