Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[GrizG]

Remember these Ford Econoline Pick Ups? My Scout Master had one... I remember him being stuck at the Klondike Derby on a grade. A bunch of Scout leaders pushed him a long ways up the hill... With the low payload capacity they wouldn't have been much use for firewood scrounging...

Got an assist from Mrs. H-R splitting today... I think mostly so she could claim that she helped with firewood when I ask the family if they like to be warm next winter. That cherry grew quite twisted so it doesn't make very stackable splits.

Long a go there was video of a guy nosing one completely onto it's roof, fat guy crawls out and flips it back over on the wheels, drives off.

You need a Mag 2

Just to complete the collection or is there a major difference in the two? I was under the impression the muffler is the only difference. Don't tell me the Mag II is noticeably stronger than the Mag...my wife can't handle it

Lee, there is one like that for sale locally to me, $50

I got my 12hp for $75

Chipper, you like going shed hunting??

That bridge is nice!

You guys ever watched the Godfather part 3?

My least favorite of the three, but there is a classic line….

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in

Well, Yesterday I go shooting at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays with three pals. Of course we stop at a shop on the way home. Now I already have more rifles and shotguns than I really need, but I see a 1100 that my brother in-law has been lusting for. Then I see a model 94 Commemorative, one I don’t already own.

Then today, another enabler calls and tells me of a pristine model 71 DELUXE with factory peep

Ughhhh

Like seriously UGHHH

My play cash has been covering my daughters tuition, I might have to dig into the piggy bank…..

I thought I had GAD under control, I really did!!

I started this GAD back in the 90's. They are like rabbits and multiply like crazy. It is a real sickness. Use it as your retirement fund.

This was today booty from the walk with my daughter and Gunner

We also found a Winchester .22 mag, with rounds still in it. I thought it was a 10/22 mag when she first picked it up.

MustangMikes grandson has the rifle that uses it, so I know where to send it.

You found a rifle in the woods? I’d be a little apprehensive of keeping any firearm I found . May be stolen or used in a crime .

That looks like the kind of stuff I regularly find in "my woods." I haven't been in them in a while... too much other stuff going on. Need to pull out the rubber boots and take a walk!

I have... and a shotgun, sword, and a bunch of other stuff. Burglary proceeds from the night before that I stumbled upon while small game hunting.
The burglars were caught and charged in a bunch of burglaries...

Good for nosy folks I guess.

I edited my post to reflect the stolen aspect.

I should stop ebaying. I have a Stihl 038 Mag on the bench I've had apart for about a year now needing crank seals and bearings. Found them but amazingly enough, a nearly complete 038 Magnum also ended up in my cart as well. They're my favorite saw to date.

Happy scrounging gents.

One on mp here.

My kind of Ford!!

These are going to make some nice little resin river cookie tables once they inevitably split in half!
