Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Might be Tiger cat, I forget... they're yellow if that helps

Yes, it's Tiger Cat. There's 12 pairs there, 3 with double palms. I tear up the fingers.

I get cheap tail cameras, if they get stolen or vandalized, not much to cry about

Tractor supply has them

Hmm, so, a camera for your butt?

That's real odd, but then again, my exmark that burned a very little each month, blew up last month, it was at least two quarts low . Okay, now I just need to think of someone to blame it on.
I wonder if that dude did it . When I first got mine I had all the lug nuts loosen up on the back left wheel, it ended up cracking the wheel and I loose the ballast out of it a bit now and then. I had a buddy "fix" it, but it still leaks a little sometimes. When I replace the tires on the back I'll probably repair it(weld it up) but also install a tube so when I want to drain the ballast all I have to do is hit the original air valve with a bit of air to push it out of the tube.


I made a redneck truss crane to lift my 32' trusses. Then I pulled the two gables back down and put the overhangs on them and rehung them, wish someone would have said something before I installed them @Honyuk96 .
Kinda hard to see, but it's a 5/8 rope tied off on a tree on one end, the other end was hooked to the back of the tractor, then the middle was running thru a pulley that was held up by another rope pulled up thru the crotch of another tree. On the 5/8 line I had a pulley with a lanyard to connect the trusses to, then another rope to pull that pulley/the truss across to where it needed to be. I had an hr or so setup into it, but it was very fast to use. It worked so well, when I dropped the gables down and re-installed them, it was just me and the boy doing it.

Cool video of the trusses, Clever idea.. I used a thing called a Roustabout. Framed and sided a whole building, with a huge crew of one.

No wood today but went to a auction at 10:30 this morning and there was some goods i bought a few gas cans and got outbid on the trailer got the cans for $3 each the trailer went for $250. I bid on a few axes but they went for crazy money.

I'd like to find a pair of leather work gloves that don't get torn up by firewood the first day.

As mike said, the goatskin ones are nice, and last quite well. Unfortunately, the ones I like aren't cheap, then again not much is these days .
The ones mike posted are much cheaper than the ones I buy, I like them more fitted.

I like the back right one, those pour nice even without the little vent.

Thanks. My normal video guy was a bit busy, so one of the backups had the camera lol. I should have done a good video of it, it worked awesome, funny how multiple people had told me it wouldn't work and I'd end up needing a crane.
We used to use something that looked like that for sign work in certain applications, normally I ran a 100' crane truck when doing installs. I never knew what they were called. Learned something new today, I'm still alive .
Great work, is that your building.

I purchase parts from EZ-POUR and repair the cans. I can usually clean them up and flip them for good money on Marketplace.

Having my " castle" was a long time in the making.. It is worth every penny. Only thing I farmed out was the concrete, 86 yards.

Doing the floor first was the "key"

Looks nice and sturdy. When did you build it?

I'm fortunate that my daughter helps me out with this stuff, but if you don't need to monitor it remotely (have it sent through cell phone service) they are a lot less expensive and easier to use.

I don't need remotely.

That was mentioned to me by more than one person. My issues started on day 3 so no chance that it was new scar tissue. I did have PT with pulling and pushing on it with full weight, and I have a pretty high pain tolerance. I also talked to the doctor several times about manipulation under anesthesia as I progressed. But neither of us believed that was the problem (it was not just the range of motion.) There were multiple other concerns pre and post surgery in addition to congenital problems that don't indicate that being the solution. And I'm still not finding it awesome. Almost without exception, people are happy and wish they had done it sooner - I'm not one of them. But thanks again for your thoughts and I'm glad it worked for you.

I'm still not convinced that this joint is better than my original knee. I sure hope I can say that it is someday. Right now it's about a toss up - I'd probably go back if I could.

I hope in the end that your knee problems go away. I only know of one other that is having issues after a replacement. She thinks it was her own fault for not pushing her rehab.

The new cans are trash the no spill are not bad just slow.

 

[H-Ranch]

And more tough rounds succumb to the splitter. And mostly stacked now.
