Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Deleted member 150358]

Ugh! My oldest daughter called. Sounds like the timing belt on her Subaru Forester went. Sitting at a stop light in Minneapolis. Told her just have it towed to a shop. No sense trying to get it up here. Cop is helping so at least she should be safer than just sitting there. Of course the water pump leaks on her other car she's been gonna drop off for me to fix. G6 so its an easy one.

Those "flats" don't look wheelbarrow certified!

LOL! I told her they didn't make very good woods shoes, but she takes after her hillbilly mother and would just as soon go without any shoes at all.

Took a break from wood and have been playing with this:




Was a royal PITA to remove from the RV it was in. She hasn’t run in a long time I guess. Changed the oil, cleaned the plugs, and put some AV gas to her. Purrs like a kitten. Need to do some wiring on the gen side, then get a more permanent fuel tank. I’m gonna build up this small garden tractor trailer to haul it around on. Need to build a battery box, etc.

Also got my new tires mounted up today! A huge difference over stock size (went from 235/85r16 to 285/75r16s). No rubbing, and they look way better. Only negative is I found out that my front fuel tank is leaking. Ugh..



I hope y’all are staying well. Haven’t been able to keep up with the thread.

From a 31x9.25x16

To

32.8x11.22x16

That is a good jump in size both directions! Stays on top of the mud better!

Give that guy a pat on the head and a little scratch on the lower back and he’ll be in dog heaven.

You must keep them off the salty roads all winter.

That's sweet, Do you know the overall dimensions, is there a kitchen area.

I believe the main room is 16x22 with two 8x8 bedrooms. I think that’s 532 sf. I have a corner dedicated as a kitchen with a full range, a cupboard, and a couple of counter tops with shelving underneath.
