Next barge will have my Winter #1 Diesel fuel for the Tank Farm.... 10K USG to keep the Gensets running, and the OilStove, Burning.... I expect my Winter Food Order to arrive in two weeks, or maybe three.... We will see. A month from today, AlaskaChick and I should be celebrating "Lights Out Day" for this year.... Can't happen fast enough, for Me.... Get these Yahoos "Out of here".....

Bear in mind that this is not only for over winter domestic use, it's but part of what will be used over the winter and more by the cannery to start up and run over next summer, plus enough to make up for losses if it turns out that a tank is contaminated.

Remote locations are cheap insurance.

Checked out the delivery today and the web site.

Filled two for grins.

In no review did I see that the supposed unhappy purchaser had read the web site or the owners manual. I'll not go into the obvious dumb comments of some reviews.

Just about any of the Charter Outfits, flying out of Anchorage, should be able to do that, if you want to go into a River Valley. If you are looking for a Glacier Landing, on snow, then you need one of the Experts that does that kind of thing..... No current Knowledge for that area, as I haven't traveled much in that area in the last 10 years. (Since I reTIRED)

Hammered dulcimer (I build 'em), snare wires, or leave it intact, and use it as a hidden gun locker.

Hey @kellory , great minds and all that.. Thats what I had in mind and was talking to someone telling him about it. He related a story about his son closing on a house that had been owned by a cabinet maker. He had an old piano in the basement that had some old guns stored in it.. When they cleaned the house out no one thought to look inside it..
I am just going to have to move some stuff out before it can come in..

Other option would be to just strip it down and sell the parts.. Some nice wood in it tho.

Kinda depends on if it is an upright, or a baby grand, or grand. What type is it?

Well, for me it's not so much what I've "put away" recently, but what I'm getting rid of. My wife has decided it time to move out of Memphis (way past time, if you ask me), so we are in the process of decluttering the house and packing most everything up getting ready to put the house on the market. Oh HOW FUN!

Well, at least we are getting rid of junk that we no longer need/use.

That could do right nicely with a counter weighted storage rack. Lift the lid, and gun rack rises.
Could use weights or gas shocks like the hatch lifters on a car.
