Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

Well, now I can't stop myself. Wasn't sure what to get from this bin, but selected 2 things. Cheap enough either way. LOLView attachment 1205841View attachment 1205842

If I had to select two things; the bin, and the contents .
Nice score, that lid looks happy lol.

Where are you at?

Business conference, starts tonight runs through Sunday
Staying at the Westin in the airport, conference is here

But today, going to hop the train into town, kid that used to work for me moved out here three years ago

We’ve been in touch and he told me some places to check out

He is telling me I should rent a car and just drive towards the Rockies. “In three years, I haven’t stopped being in amazement by them”

Plus he said now that the fire is out the smoke settled and I’ll have great views. (Guess they just had a wildfire)

Many questions about that fluid film.. Management wanted me to use it the other day on a half rotten air tank on a truck. I wrote it up for replacement cause of it's condition,, they told me to paint it with that stuff...... If it really worked, you might think it would be sold by rail car.. Asking for more info. You might call me a non-believer.. What say you.?.

It is a non-hardening fluid used to stop and prevent rust. It has no ability to strengthen or repair rusted out metal.

There's a corvette C-8 near the bottom, one of the cheapest there.
Just one company, many others out there.

Or you could go buy a new saw for a bit more and cut some trees .
Guess you may need a reservation to drive pikes peak. Action at 4:00, very mild.

Real deal , probably didn't check the views out much.

I tried that on my RAM 2500 rear frame after sandblasting it. I even used the metal conditioner prior to painting it. For some reason the rust came right thru it in many places. I was under there the other day and got pretty pissed off at what I saw. I spent a lot of time doing this work. I painted the frame with a brush and put that paint on heavy. I always thought that POR15 was the best.

Pikes Peak is awesome. My wife got really lightheaded a few tears ago when we went up there. Watch out for Bigfoot. LOL

We went to Utah for our honey moon. I took the rental out on the salt flats, 110% recommend. Its such a weird feeling, 120mph and nothing is getting closer or further away.

Its basically like being in another country out west when you're used to the east coast.

I meant what town or part of the Rockies?

The first time my Dad, Mom and I took a road trip out west, we ran into the Big Horn Mts like in your picture. Being flatlanders, we were totally amazed at them. Then we got to Glacier and WOW!
