The Extra Costs. New boat home.

That made me lol! He's right Tusc! Or maybe you should hit the craps table when we're all there eating ham sammiches. We'll all gather round the tabke and ride on your luck. YeeHAW. Roll'em again! (someone will have to show me how to play craps..)

That made me laugh. Craps confuses me too.

Just a dope set up there Tusc. Very jelly of you being able to keep the boat at home. I dream of garage bays regularly. Ones for tractors and extra cars. Now I have to add personal gas well to the list of things I need.

[Driller]

Gas wells are everywhere around here. They run roughly a half mile deep in most cases.
In the 70's, investors were drilling on properties and giving the property owner 1/8 royalty. After awhile, when the wells weren't producing enough commercially, the investor groups were looking to sell them to the property owners. I bought it for four grand back in 1987. It's been heating my old house, and this one along with the pool and a nice set of fire place gas logs ever since.
The one at my moms house was a record breaker in its time, with almost 700 lbs of head pressure.

That's a steal, that well probably cost them $150-300k back in the 70s. I am assuming you took over the plug and abandon liability also, but that's a steal. Likely you've recovered your investment.

You get ready to plug it let me know and I'll come up and help. Hopefully that won't be for a very, very long time.

Gotta be a way to get a Cobalt to run on that gas. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the personal gas well. Not an Ontario phenomena . Very cool. I want a personal Hydro dam.

I have a CNG setup on my truck. Because of Chesapeake Energy there is a CNG station on about every corner in OKC.

I suppose you could do the same thing with a boat. You put a tank in a storage hold or in the engine compartment and install a conversion kit. Then install a slow fill pump in the garage and fill'er up for free! When the CNG runs out the system automatically switches back to gasoline.

I'd have it on every vehicle I owned if I had a gas well stting in the front yard. No doubt

And I'm sure your yard doesn't have any grass it's just 4 leaf clovers
If your not buying lottery tickets I would start.

Haha, believe it or not, we've sold two one million dollar tickets at out store. Our take? .12 cents.. .6 cents per ticket profit.

My wife and mother are the gamblers , I don't enjoy wasting money, so I'm not a casino kind of guy. Funny story, when in the Dominican a few years ago, my son was probably 16. They let him play in a casino there. He comes out with about $300 in winnings. We told him that this isn't the way it usually works, and it's hard to win because the odds are always against you. Next night, he wins another $200. He then wonders what's so hard about it. That's how it starts son...

Plugging here runs about 25k. Luckily, NYS law state that as long as it's hooked up to a user, they can't make you plug it. Heck, it paid for itself before 1990. Still a decent producer and it doesn't bring up water . It'll be heating the sleepover guys

[Driller]

25k is an unbelievable price. You’re setting pretty. Was just looking at the regulatory requirements in Travers City a couple of weeks ago and they are a lot more strict than TX. I would have thought NY would be tough on oil and gas, but apparently not. That’s good news for you.

[Tuscany]

As long as something is hooked to it, there are no current NY laws forcing any well to be plugged. Haha, as we all know NY, that could change.
Hopefully, we'll never have to plug it. It's been producing dry gas for 35 years. It heats my house and our old house that we rent. Hopefully, it can handle the new garage. We're sticking in a HE furnace, R19/36, so we should be good, unless we hit minus digits. Then, the rental switches off just to be careful to not drop under 100 lbs. I've swabbed it twice over the years just for the heck of it, and hardly no water..

I have one at the store I got for free, but it's always producing water. We never use it. I might stick some money in it down the road, but I just don't trust it.

[Driller]

The big picture is even if you hooked up 4 houses to the well the amount of gas you consume is nothing compared to the size of the reservoir. Especially at the low pressures that a household runs on. Likely will last a couple of lifetimes as long as the casing and cement stays together.

Well, since everyone is in a deep depression from a season that has flown by in a blink of an eye, I thought I would break through the depression and post something...anything..

Finally, we finished the building with Uni-Lock retaining walls on the sides of the building. The blocks have been sitting in our back yard all summer, and the guys finally showed up to get it done.. just a little top soil backfill and mulch left for Monday.

A7, could you please correct the photos? Thanks

Looks awesome. The meet up will still have to happen. Liquid and I were taking about that the other day. I have never seen the falls. Might be 2 years but it will Happen.

If you come, you will be back again with the rest of your family to see. I never get tired of the Niagara River or the openness out on the big Lake.
I have a couple vids I shot at the Falls this summer. I'll have to upload them on YouTube. We've been there dozens of times, and each time, we find ourselves in awe, like we've never seen it before. You can stand LITERALLY a foot away from the very edge of the American and Bridal Vail falls. If that doesn't make the trip worth the drive, I dont know what will So clean and so beautiful and just thundering...
The rapids approaching the falls are so cool, and you can almost touch them. You have to do it...

Oh it would be a family thing for sure. I have to meet up with you and your family and A7, AJ and Liquids families . Plus who ever else shows up. Next year is pretty much already booked up so prob the next year.
