Pic does kind of remind me of a Stargate SG-1 portal.
There is a similar picture for North Korea. But it's even darker than Montana.
Brew on
Appreciation time for those who keep your cat memes and beer recipes flowing.

@bruce_the_loon - perfect. Xmas movie and nerd humor.
That’s pretty damn cool.
That tractor looks both impressive and weird without a ladder rig behind it.
If a Philly suburb muni is getting rid of it it's likely not only clapped out but parts are probably tough to source...

I think it’s been modified because it says “ENGINE 11”. A tiller tractor would say “TRUCK” or “LADDER”. I think this is her when she was still in service (obviously an Engine) Engine companies (fire suppression) and truck companies (search & rescue) are very sensitive about how they’re identified.
I wouldn’t be concerned about using that tractor for pulling an RV; that’s pretty light duty, and emergency services vehicles tend to be well maintained and don’t accumulate many miles. As Nick noted, it also appears to have been converted from an engine to a puller.
In a previous life, I was a maintenance tech for a DoD contractor, maintaining, among other things, airport CFR equipment, I’ve been a firefighter since 1977, and my business owns, operates, and maintains Class VIII trucks. So, I have a different point of reference.
Granted, we don’t make a lot of runs in a year, but our back-up Engine is a 1987 Chevrolet Smeal 4X4 pumper with 5000 original miles.
Is the outline of montana shifted or is something going on in North Dakota we need to know about.
The cluster of lights alongside the northeast corner of the Montana outline seems funny.

Oil fields in ND. The NW part of that state is lit up like a Christmas tree.
Thanks, did not think there was many people in that area to cause that much light.

Ok,... why didn't anyone tell me she announces noon with her cannons?
Full disclosure: I am so glad I wasn't navy back then, I don't think I would have hacked it.
I'm not a sailor; I was a passenger on a warship

Rum, sodomy and the lash in those days.
Been a long time since I've been to Balto. I (vaguely) recall hitting some seedy bars on Fells Point. I think it's turned into a hipster paradise now.
Still need to get back there someday. Lots of cool history. And crab cakes!

Rum sounds OK, hard pass on the sodomy & lash
didn't do Fell's Point this time, just Inner Harbor, & very little of that. there was a bierhaus in the Christmas Village & their centerpieces were my 2nd & 3rd favorite plants

Fun way to start the morning, haha.
Next chore: Brush snow off the solar panels?Mine was at least moving this morning. 8" last night and forecast is for another 12" today. Thought I better get the first dump moved..... then drink a beer
Twice already... lost cause today. Hopefully a little sun tomorrow so we can bring the batteries back up. Packed our mile long trail to the main FS road. Gonna sit and let it snow! Then start again tomorrow....
Are you living off the grid, or camping?
