No, no, no ,no ,no, keep that stuff out there. I have at least 20 dead or dying Ash trees to take down before the snow comes. Many of them are roadside/ electric wires heavy. I will have to hook up my logging winch on most of them to make sure they fall in the right direction.

I like cutting dead ash when there is snow on the ground. Especially along the field/ pasture edges. After I cut up the firewood and haul away I take the bucket and scoop snow and all them little branches off the field. Easy clean up.
Maybe they thought it was electric and didn't need them
I thought that we had been hit by one of Putin’s missiles or drones when I first saw it!
No idea why I didn’t buy this fiskars years ago, Awesome firewood tool.

Well, I had guys spread out all over the Farm. Uncle MustangMike was in what I call “the front field” he had deer and Turkeys, unfortunately the deer either didn’t stick around long enough for a shot or were over 500yards away. The one that he did sneak up on close enough to get a good shot at, wasn’t much bigger than a golden retriever
I had my best friend since 4th grade and my good buddy from work on opposite sides of the “back field”. Turkeys were teasing Billy all morning. Then about 9:15 Big Mike made it happen.

Thinking of oil changes, I finally changed the oil in my wife's escape and the truck today after work. Gave the truck a pretty good over look. Finally found the small coolant leak I've been smelling for a while now. Stupid thing had a pin hole right in the middle of the radiator. One tiny little hole. Took half an hour of pressure on it till I found the drip off the bottom of the fan shroud. Rad support isn't in the best shape either. it's not shot yet, but it's getting there. Since I had it in the shop anyway, I unloaded all the random fluid film, pfc, under coat and noxudol cavity wax cans I had laying around in the frame and under the cab. Ive Been slowly cleaning up in the basement and moving stuff out to the shop, and found 3 open cans of fluid film, one nearly full can of pfc, 4 partial cans of the cavity wax and 2 full, very old cans of 3m undercoat. Blasted the insides of the rockers and front cab mounts with the rest of the cavity wax, then shot the frame with the undercoat and fluid film and pfc, got most of it covered. Should be OK for another crappy PA salt infested winter. Never ceases to amaze me how little rust is on it for being a 96 with over 200k miles on it.

Yes, propane forklifts work well inside, if you do not mind the black layer of byproducts of their combustion that collects on top of cartons than are in the warehouse for more than a month or two. With the rate at which electricity prices are rising, I may take the forklifts at our plant back from battery to propane.
That tree has gut rot.

I’ll be chasing them again tomorrow morning
Gonna hit my xbow spot behind my house. I’ve laid off that spot for a few weeks, maybe the 9pt I have on camera will show up. Even though it’s rifle season, it’s a little to “urban” for me to be using a rifle on a Sunday morning

Used to sell firewood for $5 a face cord, deliverd
A guy I used to let hunt on our land gave me 2 turkey legs. I soaked them in Morton's cure for a week or so. Then smoked them on the weber. best turkey I ever had. If y'all were closer, I'd take all your turkey legs. It takes a while to eat a turkey leg, but they are tasty when smoked.

Diesels now are electronic toys. Same as the gassers, but more expensive. Not like the old days with reliable mechanical fuel injection. When the smoke comes out, it is dead.
There are several reasons tractors like IH 1066 through 1486 are popular, along with 4020 through 4430 or so JDs. Mechanical fuel injection is one reason.
I was gutted when I saw it!
Yup. I’ve that one, the logrite backsaver, and a short one handed version. Love those hookaroons.
You could give her the old farmer fix. Take a small screw, coat it with JB weld and run it in the tiny hole.
I had a buddy whose grandpa did that in the water jacket of their old Ford 7000. He had at least 5 screws in the crankcase of that engine. He'd notice coolant in the oil, drain the coolant, drop the pan and run another screw in it. I think they put 4-5k hours on it after the first screw went in.
I've been a heavy duty diesel mechanic for the past 20 years, I can only partially agree with that statement. Electronic injection has been out since the mid 90's. Really hasn't gotten much more complicated over the years. High pressure common rail, unit injection, HEUI injection has all been around a really long time. No, none of them will take garbage fuel and lack of maintenance, with few exceptions. (cp4 fuel pump.) I've worked on machines with thousands of hours and original injection systems.
Most our calls are from emissions issues or machine system issues. Thank a congressman and the epa for the emission systems. The machine issues I blame on the end users. If they didn't want the features the oem wouldn't offer it. Sadly the few of us that don't want the bells and whistles are the minority these days.
Good idea. I could possibly do that to get by till I get a new radiator and rad support for it.
