Pellet stove stopped working 2 days ago....great time of year for that to happen! The guy I bought it from 5 yrs. ago, came over & sussed out the issue....control board went tits up....should have a new one by Wednesday....right about when the temps are supposed to drop into the teensF. It has been nice not hearing the fan running in that thing.

Nice Black B12.... I remember seeing Gary Rothwell doing a tire-popper smokeshow on 1 of these during a stunt-show at P.I.R. in Portland...

You won't regret it....nothing quite like the sound of these railing @ 90mph through the corners on a mile oval. You can hear the tires howling on the dirt.

You're 1 of the 1st UK'rs I've met that actually skis....this is where I learned how to ski... https://skibowl.com/ It was only 50 miles from home...we'd go a handful of times every season...mainly on Friday & Saturday nights. By 7pm most people would pack it in for the night or just head for the bar....so we could do top to bottom runs w/ No lift lines....till 10pm. The cabin in the middle of this pic is called the Warming Hut & it's been there for well over 80 yrs...it's a great feature of this place as you don't have to get ski to the bottom to have a break....have a beer, warm up & then back @ it! My dad put me on a pair of skis there when I was 4 y/o...one of the best gifts he ever gave me.... & my brothers. I've ski'd every ski area on Mt. Hood & the snow has the tendency to be a little heavy & sometimes wet....(known as the Cascade Concrete) but if you can ski it, you can ski ANYwhere. And compared to the snow on the east side of OR, which is noticeably dryer & faster....there's thigh-deep powder sometimes....& is fortunately where I live now.

I do remember that tale.... just about as funny as the time he broke his nose riding his boy's DT 125....
