All the free pallets anyone needs can be found behind my store.
( I know you're too far away of course.) But most of them do in fact end up holding firewood for someone.

We get lots of pallets at work. The good ones are from 45 gal barrels of paint but they all go back to the supplier. Shingles used to come on nice hardwood skids but not they come on longer thin skids. I get quite a few but we have a recycler who comes and picks all the rest up. I likely have a couple hundred laying around. Some idiot drove over a whole bunch of them this winter when he was moving snow. I coulda swore they were over anther 10', drove right over them and crushed them all. It's already a muddy mess around my place and it's going to be bad for a long while.

We have a fella in town here that picks up pallets from the businesses that set them out on the curb. He rebuilds them and resells them as a pretty sucessfull business. He gets them for free and sells at a profit. If you know a place that sets out quality pallets around here and can beat him to them, you can make out pretty well. You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to beat him to the punch though.
The medical supply business in the warehouse next to the one I work in is moving, and I already asked them not to set their pallets out for the pallet man until I've had a chance to scrounge them first and set aside the good ones in my own warehouse.

Best pallets I've ever came across were from a seed mill. They used oak pallets that have 8x8 posts in them and used true 1-by's for the top boards. They were used to move/ship bagged seed. We burnt a whole bunch at a field party when I was younger. They were heavy as a mo-fo, I swear they were over 150lbs. It took all I had to pick it up and throw one on the fire.

Yeah I'm happier than a pig in poop but looking at all that stuff is a bit daunting. I don't even have a wheel barrow at the moment lol.
Hold on there. Cadillacs really do rule. Who said otherwise?

Come on now sir, you have to admire it at least. Unless something recently beat it the CTS-V owned the fastest production sedan. That thing is a beast with tons of luxury features. I'm just glad American car manufacturers are starting to build decent cars again vs the crap they were putting out for years.
I agree, US is no longer 2nd best in cars, a very good thing!
And I'm sure the caddy is more comfy than my Stang!

The 5.0 probably weighs less too right? Thought I heard something about a 6 cylinder for it in the future.
No, the 4.6 is a hair lighter than a 5.0. The 600 HP bi turbo 6 cyl is going into the Ford GT (like a GT-40), the Mustang just has a regular 6 in the base model (not in the Mustang GT). It will only way about 2,000 lbs, should go like stink.
The new Mustang GT-350 coming out next year will have a 5.2 ltr that redlines at 8,200 RPM and make over 500 HP w/o any power adder.

I was talking about the weight of the 5.0 vs the Cadi. 600 hp in a car that's less than 2k lbs is insane. No way to use that kind of crazy power on the street lol. Even with the CTS-V I've found there's just too much. I may just be getting older.
Maybe I was thinking about the turbo four in a Mustang. That would be kind of cool to see but if I were car shopping I may opt for that all wheel drive Ford that's turbo charged
Here's a pathetic video I put together from my first time out with my 285CD. Was doing some tuning on the carb, as you can see it wasn't acting very well until the last we cuts. I made the mistake of turning off the camera and didn't turn it back on for the best part of the tree. Let me know how you like the camera angles and stuff. I need feedback on shooting and editing. stuff. I too more footage today of me dropping a maple with the 285 and limbing with the 2159.
Real world , thanks Marshy .
I've got a real world mm test of today's scrounge .
