Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

I would prefer globally sourced components than proprietary components any day. The prices are much cheaper.

I have to agree, and add the cheaper machines have come a long way in the past 10 odd years. For most of us that arnt using them day in and day out they work just fine, and parts arnt an issue to get.

She doesn't mind it so far lol. My son sat and watched it run fir the better part of an hour tonight. He thought it was great. I may have to get a few other model engines for him now.
Haven't forgotten my anniversary.. yet. It's in August. Plenty of time to forget till then lol.

Was thinking of you last night. The family went to our county skills center as my boy is looking into classes there. While in the precision machining class I saw a small air powered model engine and showed it to the boy, pretty cool.
Don't worry, from time to time I'll send you thoughtful ideas so you don't forget.
Here's one; I normally deliver flower or plants, but today it was eggs. Heard they are going up like gold, maybe you could buy her a couple dozen, then let her know how much you enjoy her cooking. Follow me for more tips .
Last stop.

Nice strapping. Considering the million dollar load I would have used another one. Lol. I always preferred roof to floor rails instead of nose to tail.

Thanks. There were the locking style bars on it(e-track), when I picked it up, but what's that do on a load with an odd pallet count. I just toss a strap on to hold it from tipping sideways when turning, not that they do, but you know they'd be pissed if I had something tip over. Good thing is it only takes a minute to put it up and take it down, I try to do everything I can to get out of the truck as quick as possible, it ain't my home!
Also, there was only one strap in the trailer, it was a long way to the truck to grab one of mine lol.

Those odd pallet loads are weird to secure with those type of rails. I always brought the strap up over the corner then down and cranked with another the opposite way but you sure can't do that with eggs. Straps best you can and easy corners!
