I needed my RUDYCON Edition Haines axe 2 weekends ago, and I didn't have it with me. End result: a friend broke a blinker, scuffed a flair and tweaked a bumper snow wheeling over a large downfall.
I used My Rudycon axe 2 days later to make up for the mistake of forgetting my axe.
Next wheeling trip (all plastic fender jeeps) is the 28th of this month. This time...my Haines RUDYCON Ed. Axe WILL be with me!

Well, I was going to show this General Leaker Ax to the man himself. Maybe not. But----------it will ride again on the side of Bugsey at the Black Hills Meet shortly. All Knights are required to wear their axes! No exception. Bring them! Do it now! Oilly

There is something very primitive and simple about an axe. It is probably the most versatile tool ever invented. Want to see if a man is a manly one? Just hand him an axe, and look in his eyes. If you see the glimmer...He is a manly man! You can cut trees down to build shelter, you can split firewood to keep you warm, you can .....well not to be crazy, but let's just say...defend yourself with one. For Gosh sakes you Bastages!! The Poll was not meant to Beat stuff with!! That is the hardest part to grind and fix!!!
I wish I could learn to forge my own!!! German old school steel, or Sweden. I am too old to go back to trade school now, and nobody cares anyways....
Born perhaps three generation too late!!

I know a guy in NC with a forge - I can ring him up and he can give you lessons.

He's in Europe touring every battle site known, apparently. Lucky sod. He does have a forge, and he's one of those reenactor types that makes his own reproduction uniforms out of heavy wool. YEAH. I don't know if he knows exactly how to make axeheads, but he DOES have a forge and I would be happy to contact him to get more details. When I asked him "Why in the JEEP WILLIS do you have a forge?!" he answered simply "because I can, and you never know when I might need to make something." He works in a bank in NC, and when coins come in (say for example 1952 quarters worth about $30 each) he asks his manager if he can "swap with this 2011 quarter" ... PURE GENIUS
ANYWAY, I will ask him.

Today I stopped at the army surplus store or as Lin calls it, "Man's Hobby Lobby." I found the perfect, Made in USA, cover for my Knight's axe! I didn't have to measure it. I just KNEW it was the right size. Love this tool! I'll bring it with me to the Northern Colorado tour this weekend.  |

I am too old to go back to trade school now, and nobody cares anyways.... Born perhaps three generation too late!! Dead tech is IN, Haines! Look at me and Ham radio?! OK, well, don't look at me. Bad example. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with learning dead tech. Next year, I hope to go to windmill school so I can be an AeroMotor trained technician. Why? I don't know. I think it's cool. |

That cover is Bad Ass!!! I remember that axe. It is the basis of all that is pure. Think about it. It can build, protect, defend, keep you warm.
This post has taught me to remember.
Thank You Sir Rudy.

When I was a propane delivery guy, I would often run into old battery farm house electric systems. They used a windmill to charge a bank of glass celled, clear heavy, lead acid batteries. 32 volt I think. This was before they got a power grid and were on their own. The gutter systems on the roof had a selective channel so you could fill your cystern up with rain water. You let it run a bit to clear the dust, and then channel it in. The old ways were simple and fascinating. Radio was their first link to the outside world. Multiple party lines with the old wooden crank phones to send a electric current to ring someone up. You had to talk to the operator who you knew on a first name basis. She probably knew what was going on and who was seeing whom! LOL. White gas cooking stoves. Old kerosene lamps and heaters. You would find all this stuff still around. When they would lose power in a blizzard, they would break out grandpa's stuff. Build a fire in the old woodstove that got moved to the cellar or basement. Self sufficient people. They never threw anything out. I've seen old 1930's packards in the barn, and one day a 1925 Harley sitting on it's rear kickstand under the old red standing fuel tank in the weeds. About had a heart attack that day. No, it's not for sale. I asked. Just amazing what is still rat holed out there. Oilly

Oil leaker you have just described the house my dad grew up in, other than the wind charger, they had a hit& miss engine and would charge the battery bank on Saturday, and 32 volt. The neighbor had a wind charger for his home, after power came through the wind charger tower became a ham radio tower, LOL.  |

Woah!! You guy's are looking into my past!! When I was a little whipper-snapper knee high to a gopher hole, that's what we had!! A wooden frame tower with the base filled with rocks so that you could tip the tower down to work on the generator at the top. I remember it well. An airplane propeller spinning a generator from a car, sitting on top of the tower, wired to the bank of clear glass battery's in the basement. Of course, the wind always blows on the prairies, so no problem running out of power. Thanks for brining up the memories there John!  |

In my 25 years of working in the Propane industry, I have hours of stories. Good and bad. I watched a couple of King of the Hill episodes. They sure like beer huh? I spent most of my free time out in the garage or driving machines. Still do. My "quiet time". Now for a quick Rocky Mtn. High! 9-12,000 feet high. Clean, cool fresh Mtn. air boys! Then a HBR to settle in for the evening. Oil

Thanks for reminding me. I did not pack the axes. I need to finish them. Before I move, you two Bastages will have them. You just have to drive the Jeeps over the bridge. I will work on them....well now ...
