In Need of a New Date Activity?
Movies and a dinner are a good idea for a date, but what if the lady you are dating is more active and you know she likes a good challenge and maybe even some friendly competition. An active date might be just the thing to make her happy. Are you up for it? Here are a few things you can do for that active date-on-the-go.
Go ice skating or roller skating - Almost every town has a roller skating rink and some even have ice skating indoors in the summer. Most rinks will rent skates for a nominal fee and there will be a fee for skating. Nothing is more romantic than a skate around the outdoor rink during a frosty winter night or around the roller rink with the lights turned low.
Go hiking in a nearby park - You would be hard pressed not to find a park in your community. Take a hike through the hiking trails. You can even bring a picnic basket along but make sure you lighten the load by eating first and then going on your hike bringing some water and snacks. Be sure to find out what the rules and regulations are in the park and if there is a danger of wild animals that can cause harm, be sure to know what to do.
Does your date love baseball - Hit the batting cages and see who can hit the most balls. This will give you a little competitive spirit.
Go golfing - If you or your date are a little golf challenged and can't take on a 9 or 18 hole course, go to the nearest putt putt course. Golfing can be a relaxing day to spend the afternoon and a fun activity when you putt putt.
Go snorkeling or diving - Go to the ocean if you live near it and rent equipment to go snorkeling or diving. There are some companies that will teach you how if you don't already. You may have to have a certificate or license to be able to snorkel or dive so make sure you have that with you. There are usually companies that will rent out equipment if you don't have it yourself.
Go Paint balling - Watch out gentlemen. Women have a vicious streak and it just might come out on a paintball field. Many indoor paintball facilities are starting to pop up all over and they will rent you equipment and overalls to protect your clothing. They will instruct you on the game and give you safety tips, so make sure you follow them.
Go Wall Climbing - Many communities are providing facilities where you can climb a wall as if you were rock climbing. This might just bring out the competitive spirit of your date to see who can reach the top first then repel back down to the ground.
There are lots of things you can do to satisfy an active date. Make sure to provide her with a challenge and you will be sure to be a valuable asset to her.

Where can I find an industrial hopper for a pellet stove?
I am designing a remodel for a farm couple. They would like a hopper accesible on the outside of the home in which they could take a skid steer or bobcat to load the hopper with corn pellets for their pellet stove. Is there a place where I can find this type of hopper or will it have to be custome made?

Check farm equipment sales. There are all kinds of hoppers used for storage of farm products and materials. While you are at the design stage, forget using a loader to fill the hopper; think of an auger or chain chute type of loader also available at farm equipment sales.
