Used to sell firewood for $5 a face cord, deliverd
That's it, except for the red plastic plug in the handle. The red paint on mine was so I didn't lose it! Not factory. Thanks a whole heap! I highly recommend them.
Been a busy week so far. Got my logging buddies truck mobile again. What a difference that new cross member made. Truck feels solid again. We redid/ rerouted all the rear air lines too. Much nicer how we have then run now. Got the new bunks prepped and stripped all the lights/ wiring etc off the old bunks. He's gonna finish painting the frame after he cuts off the last bunk we left on. Took the whole weekend, then all day Tuesday and Wednesday to get to this point. (Really weird work schedule lately.) I'm super excited to get this wrapped up. We're planning on giving the cab a fresh coat of paint this winter too. Old Ford sure is looking good. I really wish he would let me post up some pictures of it.
In between the truck I've been getting that shanondoah stove back together.
New sides and back panel. I'm a bit farther along with it then pictured. Decided to make it a rear exit and I added a baffle to it. I should have just had a new piece made for the front too. It's a bit thin but isn't warped or cracked. So far I'm about $250 into the stove.

Glad to hear the log truck's coming along. The stove is looking good. I happen to have a Shenandoah in my shop.
It heats the shop up nicely.
Pre WW2 but not sure the year. Any gangster remains in there?
That’s awesome. We have so few moose left up here now due to wolves and parasites.
We all understand lol
The only reasons I don't have a classic Mustang (my favorites are 67-68 Fastbacks followed by 69-70 Fastbacks) is that they are ungodly expensive and far less reliable than the Mustang I currently own. They just cannot compete with the combination of performance, handling, reliability and economy of my current Mustang.
Next on my list would be a 66 or 67 Fairlane.
I'm of the age that I would rather drive it than work on it, so I remain content with what I have. Few of my friends still drive "hotrods"!

Another successful lunchtime scrounge, a little oak and some beech. will be ready for the 2025/2026 burning season.
I used to never travel without my Husky 41. If I saw it down, I'd cut and take it home. For a few years they cleared the power lines near me and every weekend I was cutting and throwing beech, birch and maple into the truck. The clone 543xp $120 saw I just bought I think will take it's place in the truck bed.
Probably drive like a tank compared to today's standards, but I'd take a 65' Galaxie 500 over just about anything.
I so want a 500 with the 427. Saw one at a car show painted deep green and my wife had to drag me away before I did something stupid.
The Local here up until 2019 had a Dash 9 Superfleet Warbonnet assigned to it, BNSF 627. I only got it once with one of the BN green survivor SD40-2s. The unit in back was a former CB&Q GP40 fresh from rebuild and having been assimilated into the "orange dip" swoosh scheme. Athearn released the "as delivered" ATSF 627 D9-44CW in their Genesis line 2 years ago so I had to get it. Scaletrains did recently release the SD40 shown here (one of the first SD40-2's built for BN) but as it's original number, BN 6339 (which later became BN 6916 then 1922 as seen here). The other picture is of the Dash 9 with the Ferromex ES44 (which I've photographed the real one twice) I have on the layout of one of the model RR groups I've joined.
Changed out the headlamps and side markers on my 72 . Headlamps are United Pacific much brighter than the old Halogen sealed beams . And they are DOT legal . 
That's very cool scrounge to drive home with after work... instead of an empty bed...
It's possible we are related somehow,, For a long time I traveled with my favorite Jonsered and a maul.. Didn't ride around with an empty grocery getter truck... Sometimes just stop long enough to fill up a Subaru. Nothing like a good physical work out instead of going to a gym.. someone say "free heat"..?

I'm still on my firewood cutting/splitting job, I hired my nephew to help me as he's short on cash right now. Anyway, there were two oak logs in this spot, and we filled a couple boxes with those,
The 4-way wedge sure speeds up the splitting!
Then we moved to a BIG pile of logs out in the woods to cut/split there, and we quickly got to work filling more boxes,
It's really nice to have a "self-propelled" splitter that you can drive out in the woods, and it really kicks-azz when it gets there,
There's plenty more logs out there to work on, so like Arnie, we'll be back!!

I learned to drive on a 65 Country Squire with a 390 4bbl that was pre-owned by Charlotte Ford (she got a new car every 6 weeks),
and a 64 Galaxy 500 with a 352 4bbl. That car was pre-owned by a Ford executive that my Dad knew, he got a new car every 6 months.
You do know I had a 427 Ford engine in my 1970 Boss Mustang (302 body). The 302 had spun bearings when I bought it and I had purchased the 427 short-block when I was at college. It was a 1966 Holman + Moody seasoned side oiler block with cross bolted mains. The crank had been trued (cut 10 + 20), but it had low riser pistons, so I put 428 CJ heads on it. (Medium and Hi Riser heads had larger combustion chambers and needed pop up pistons). 428 CJ head had valves and combustion chambers like a low riser, but intake ports like a medium riser. They were developed by Tasca Ford because the larger valves on the Medium Riser heads would not fit in the smaller 428 bore.
I used to tell people I had the real Boss Mustang! I had Keystone Mags on it with BFG Radial Trans Am tires (G-60-15)
The Black 68 was a Factory 428 CJ with the 4:30 drag pack option.

One of the mechanics that used to work at Brewster Ford had a 1967 Fairlane with a factory 427 2-4 bbl and the 427-hood scoop. I used to drool when I saw that car!

I love me a 67-68 fastback, but I will just have to live my life looking at pictures, no average enthusiast can afford one when rusted hulls are selling for 10k. Dad has a '67 coupe that was his first car, its super fun to drive. We put stiffer springs and dropped the front end an inch or so, and put a Ford Racing T5 in it. IT really needs the 289 rebuilt, the crank isn't in the best of shape when we stuck a set of bearings in it 10 years ago. To be super nice it needs a touch of body work and paint but its a super straight/solid car otherwise.
Idk how dad doesn't want to drive it everyday, he might get it out once or twice a year. When I still lived at home I was driving it somewhere at least once per week.
