My Dad's dad built one of those GTs back in the 40s out of oak rails and old car drive-lines with a single cylinder engine . Had 2 transmissions inline. I remember see it in the back of the shed when I was a teen.

Re: The weather
Well this was unexpected.
This more was I expected this morning .
All that crazy wind and no trees down . But you get a little wet snow and boom . The snow is super wet and heavy sticking like glue to everything . The worst part is how it is sitting .- Thu Apr 04, 2024 6:18 am

Re: The weather
Any of you guys get the crazy high winds last night . We got gusts of between 80 -100 kph (50 -60 mph) . Kept me up most of the night as it rattled the house . Fortunately no major damage , just a torn tarp on a coverall.
