I like the ladder rack. I could haul my 12' jon boat up there.Stopped at my neighbors. He had to show me his diamond in the rough. 1972. Tires were the only thing good on it as far as I could see.

He was blowing all the leaves and junk out of the bed.
Those videos are scary but this one, from London a few years ago, sends shivers
Well, I went on the Shaw website today and after more than 4 months it is showing my 338/06 barrel as completed, but they did not confirm any shipping information to me yet, so I don't really know the status.
I called, and sent an email, but no reply yet!
Hopefully, they just sent it, but it would be nice to give my gunsmith a heads up.

You love the quality woods don't you! Conker is only slightly better than willow to burn. I've found it usually splits okay though with the odd round that, like willow, seems to just absorb the axe blows with a dull thud.
Btw, that tree above, was what we know as London plane, or to you..... sycamore.
We built our house in 87. A guy a few streets over had a 72, Blue, 4X4 sitting when we moved in. I still had my Dad's 72 C30, and would liked to have the pick up for doing estimates, and the C30 for working. I asked a friend in Church that lived by him. He said don't go there, he won't sell it. So, I just let it go. Finally after Covid hit it disappeared. It actually still looked pretty good. It did have a little of the green stuff growing on the top edges. No idea where it went, unless that's it?Stopped at my neighbors. He had to show me his diamond in the rough. 1972. Tires were the only thing good on it as far as I could see.

Last Friday we went to Longwood Gardens. That was Pierre Du Pont's Arboretum. There are giant London Plane trees all over. First one I pointed out to my Son in Law and said these are know as Sycamore, but are actually London Plane trees. Then someone walked by and said, "Look at the giant White Birch". I looked at my SiL and said, "Yes, they let idiots in here too, as long as they can pay!"
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Longwood Gardens. most of the displays are from inside the green houses. All of the decorated trees are live. Outside is where all the huge trees we would be interested in were. But as soon as we walked onto the grounds, my wife said she wanted a hot chocolate. When I went to the both, they had Artillery Brewings, Brown Bess, so I got one for each pocket, and the stuff Carolyn wanted, so I didn't get any pics of the big trees. That Brown Bess was GOOOD.
First scrounge in months coming up.
A friend bought a new 400 and cut up a bunch of trees on his property. Asked me if I’d like the wood and I said sure but if you haven’t bucked it up, I’d prefer 16” or shorter so my Kuuma will digest it. Sure thing.

I didn't want to tie up a pu with a ladder rack, so I put mine in my aluminum trailer,
IF, I need it out, it's pretty easy to lift out with my tractor.

OMG!!! For over 20 years my 99 F250 was so rust free here in Nor Cal that you could still see the grease pencil marks on the suspension components and axles. We're talking over 300,000 miles on it.
Dad has a 39 Ford Deluxe 4 door Convertible Sedan that is unrestored with zero rust, as well as a now restored 1935 Ford 4 door Phaeton that had a spot of rust on the floor about the size of a deck of cards. Now it's fully restored and a Dearborn Award winner. Pics, cause we all like pics. And awe heck, I'll add some pics of the 32 "Deuce" Five Window Coupe that was 100% rust free before he restored it, and the 32 "Deuce" Woodie that my dad is 2nd owner of. He "scrounged" it in 1962 for $250.
They sent me two emails about 1/2 hr later (both the same), it will come this Saturday!
I'll be away, don't know if they deliver w/o a signature, but I should have it by Mon.

The weather gods cooperated and granted me a rare day of mostly sunshine and above 50 temps. I'd already sand blasted and primed the homemade log splitter last week, so I shot color today...rolled it inside to hopefully hasten the cure time overnight. The precip comes back tomorrow...
I went with Rust-Oleum red, that way I could buy a quart of it to spray through the HVLP gun yet also have a rattle cans to touch up my future mods(probably a table.)

I’d love to have one like that . My 72 I use for light loads that one I’d load it right up with wood . I wouldn’t do a thing to it but make it 100% road worthy mechanically and drive it all the time. The rot doesn’t even look all that extensiveStopped at my neighbors. He had to show me his diamond in the rough. 1972. Tires were the only thing good on it as far as I could see.
