Boltman Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Ok guys i can see you need to be told....." Settle Down Now, Come on Now!!!" If you let this thing get the best of you , you won't be able to focuss on what's real, like saving money NOW so you can put it all into the tank this summer or spring. Think of ways to save money during the winter season, so you don't have to worry about summer gas bills, or summer repair bills... Here's one...for ya'll.Two winters ago I put in a Wodd burning stove in my living room, (two story farm house) I've spent 600.00 on wood this winter and I bought enough to get me through completley..thus saving me 3000.00 in Propane..My Farmhouse used to Burn 11 gallons a day of propane, now it burns less then 3 gallons a day, and the 800 gallons I just bought to fill the tank, will last until Next January... so I'll save 2500.00 a year, and that should get me a good start with fuel in that New Monster...But I doubt we'll go through taht much fuel, since well we don't get up on plane that much at all...even if we do I'm still saving 2500.00 a year from propane where as I can put that into something else...It's a lot of work, loading the stove every 3 hours... but it's worth every penny...
Boltman Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Wow, here's some summer pics, I've posted of my favorite times with my favorite woman...and a few other pics..Hopefull it won't time out while I'm posting them.

Boltman Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 JIm that pic is taken in Elk RAPIDS, You are looking out from the harbor onto the east bay, and yes it is a great place to just cruise...and Fish after August, the salmon don't get there until later in the year.
