I will be treading the downhill waters to 40 on this Friday. Turning 36! To celebrate I am going to my girlfriends fathers historic fish house in Acadia National Park, firing up the wood stove, and drinking a bottle of scotch. We have to sled in firewood, food, booze, and sleeping bags, part of that down a 200 foot almost vertical embankment covered in snow, but I have wanted to go up all winter and camp out. Also I will be finally finishing doing a clock spring, wheel bearing, serp belt change, and oil change on my lady's Jeep (in a heated garage) while we are up there. Enjoy some pics of the fish house in warmer times

That sounds like a really awesome time. I think I'm only going to see Mad Max: Fury Road for my 36th. Maybe I need to aim higher.

First pic, I'd recognize that slat grill and raised section on the side of the hood anywhere. K1, 2, or 3?

Actually I am not sure which one it is. Do these help? IH is not my strong suit (PS this is why I need you and Calzone up here to figure what everything is)

I don't see a chrome mustache or fake grill wings, so that's why I'm thinking K and no KB (aka pre-war). I didn't know what to look for between a K1-3, but Wikipedia says the differences are springs, then axle design. It should be pretty easy to suss out whether it's a K3 or the other two from a picture of the rear wheel (but not certain) but K1/K2 mostly a guess. It's probably a K1 or K2.

Happy birthweek! It's my birthweek too (turning 30!), and I'd like to point out some awesome similarities I notice -

- We both celebrate birthweek. Birth days are for chumps.

- My lady is actually from Maine too (and she drives a Jeep as well), not far at all from Acadia NP (I remember an oppo conversation with you a while back when I was out east and visited the Blue Hill fair). It's beautiful out there, haven't made it out to Acadia yet - hopefully sometime soon when we get a decent amount of time to spend out there next.

- I've been dying to go camping all winter, but being out in California winter hasn't come and it's 75 outside.

This morning I also learnt via a podcast that I share my birthweek with William Burroughs - I didn't know or care much about him (and probably still don't)...but all I can say is that he was a straight up mad man.

Crazy, mine's tomorrow the 3rd!

We're getting married and travelling quite a bit this year - so don't think we'll have a decent enough chunk of time to visit :( Hoping for an extended stay summer of 2016 - and probably moving out east permanently soon after that.

She's from Deer Isle...spent my first Christmas out there last month. Really cool area!

How long are you going out to the cabin for? It's pretty awesome how peaceful it is out there. One of my uncles-in-law-to-be (?) is super outdoorsy too and does a lot of ice fishing in the winters, I'm curious to give that a try sometime soon too.

did I connect with you on facebook ? should totally do so if you have it. We will only be out a night this trip but are out there a bit in the summer for sure. I was ice fishing last weekend!

There is another opponaut up on Deer Isle weird enough too!
