Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[U&A]

It's a Ford, it will be just fine .
If you're wondering how I know, it's a little blocky .

Wheel wells are not square like a chevy too

Nice round wheel wells like Ford. Honestly, never understood the square wheel wells. I don’t think they look bad, but I also think it makes more sense to make them round on acout of ….The wheels are also round. Don’t think I need to explain that though.

So it's a rush job?

You know what they say, get it done right, get it done cheap, or get it done now .
Pretty funny seeing the kids next to it now.
9yr reunion picture lol.

Its called making an appt. If someone commits to being here, its at a specific hour. Show up early, or late, and you are sent away. I've never had to use the later, just mention it.

Today's experience with a clown buyer. I was gone yesterday and this guy wanted to buy an item from me. I told him I would probably be home around 5 - 6pm today. We got home a few hours early. I messaged him around 2:30 that I was home. No reply by 3:3] so I went out to cut up a Cherry tree that fell during a storm yesterday. Around 5:15 I checked my FB. At 4:11 the guy said he was heading to town and to send him my address. At 5:11 he was angry because he was in town and I didn't reply to him so he was going back home. I replied at 5:15 as to why he would come out here without an address. He got angry for wasting his time and not checking on my messages. I told him I was busy and that it was stupid to drive somewhere without an address. Then he called me an ******* for saying it was stupid for coming out here. He also called me pissy and that I should have been checking my messages because I am the seller. Then I told him to look in the mirror for being stupid and have a nice day. Then I blocked the moron. I swear some people just really suck.

Bah...ask Bill G about the 600+ he has ...not including the full pallets yet to be inventoried, lol

That's a real sickness.

 

[JimR]

I'll check it out thanks

got to do something. Once they get a taste for them it's time to go. Not to mention revenge. We had chicken parts under the coop.

I've used a box trap for trapping them. Then I insert a $.10 piece of lead into their head.

 

[JimR]

TO EACH HIS OWN ....BUT..........

is there even any air in the tires or are they solid rubber tires special ordered from Harbor Freight?

It probably has air lift suspension and they are down for hauling.

 

[JimR]

That trailer looks like it is going to put a lot of weight on the back of that truck. I hope the rear springs are up to it!

He built in wood bags for the suspension.

Lost this rotted cherry yesterday while we were away. I cut it up into logs for my woodpile and chipped the brush today. I'm glad that I wasn't out there when it fell. I didn't know it was rotted out on the inside of the bunch.

Was over at my dad's place this morning and got his mower going for him...then got conned into moving his grass.. 3 hours later we got it done. I sure wish he would get another big mower. In two weeks I have to run over and mow for him, I'm taking my kubota with me, bet i can cut that time in half. he did give me enough boards to make the concrete forms for the shop. that was appreciated and will save me a pile of money. Came back home and started cleaning up since the rain set in. Got a decent amount cleaned up, now just gotta go through the junk pile one more time and make sure there's nothing I want to keep.

 

[mountainguyed67]

Get rid of the rims and rubber bands and that’s a nice truck

Fixed.

Engineers, do I need to say more

They like to make easy things difficult

Sure do sometimes.
Can't live without them, well now that we have all we need we could, we got it from here lol.

For sure, in a couple more yrs they'll all be taller than me, not that that takes much when you're vertically challenged .

Thanks.

I cut about two thirds of a cord of elm while there, 4 smaller trees, a guy stopped and took it all. Pretty sure he was driving a ford, because it was loaded to the pipe rack and it wasn't really sagging like a chevy . Told the boy to get a picture of it for the page, so I could prove it happened lol. I think he was waiting for that perfect shot, pretty sure I see big foot in the back of the truck with the wood .

dang,
a load of wood and a big foot... sounds like a good score to me!!


I hear ya on the vertically challenged.

I'm planning on selling my current sport bike (I get in way to much trouble on it and I'm getting burned out on that crap) and getting what Iv always wanted. an old school dual sport Honda XR650L. they have been making that dinosaur with no changes since the 90's!!. problem I am trying to solve is I'm am 5'8" and the seat Hight is a whopping 37". I can find a 1" lower seat and and an adjustable lowering link for the rear suspension (it can afford it as it has the most ground clearance in the bunch due to the dry sump motor) slide the forks up in the triple tree an inch and I THINK I may be able to tip toe both feet at a stop light or just slide a cheek off the seat and one foot it. im ready to be the old guy on the dual sport dirt bike with the big square headlight and rack on the back. maybe even a milk crate to really top it off.

If I cant make that work it will be the DR650

We got seven loads of firewood in the two and a half weeks we just spent at our mountain place, and I actually remembered to get pictures this time. This load went to our friends store.



I forgot a pic of the second load, but here you can tell what we just unloaded.

 

[mountainguyed67]

A few more loads.
