Raddskn: Iron Mountain -- haven't heard that in a long time --l lived there as a kid back in 1961/62 -- standing at the bus stop in -30 weather -- can't say I miss that! Remember seeing all the fishing shacks on Lake Antwine [spelling?] -- do the guys up there still use the flat bottom jon boats with the vw engines with propellers -- kinda' like an everglades boat for the ice! We used to ski behind cars using a rope tied to the bumper -- wow -- alot of memories. Maybe this summer the wife & I will take a ride & check out the world's tallest ski jump -- is it still there?

Great TIG machine, I'd love to get one myself. I have a Lincoln Invertec v-250S, which means no HF, so I have been looking at one of the square waves for aluminum. TIG welding is a lot of fun, you'll definitely get addicted!
