Then in the morning looking out over the main street and find out the downtown businesses don't open very early cuz each morning they have to get all of that lake effect snow removed just so the cars can move along.
After that, we normally ride to Copper Harbor to enjoy the views and the most expensive gasoline in North America.LOL!!!!

Sorry this is off topic but I just had to chime in when I saw Houghton.

It's a great place to live, I live in dollar bay so you have to drive through my town to get to copper harbor. I work on lots of equipment up there too, I like it up there. We only have 3 inches of snow so far, it's been very mild.

Make one out of Kindorf, that way you can keep the drums in the boxes.

I appreciate the offer. I am looking at the 3x30 in the American Van catalog as well. I could probably buy it new and have it shipped cheaper than I could fill the van up with fuel to get to michigan and home.

Thanks though!

If you ever take a ride up north, shoot me an email. I've got a rack that holds 3 #30 jugs. Just sittin' in my garage, waiting for someone to come along and buy it. Mounts to the floor of a truck or van. Got it out of American Van catalog.

Wanted: Cylinder Holder
