Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[SS396driver]

I see they now forecast 1-2 inches of rain... combined with the melting snow it's going to be a mess. Insuring good drainage will be my snow clean up priority...

I’ll have a river on my driveway

hope I won’t need the big guns this year

Opps I did not think it posted. No way to get hurt here if you could get it going.

Only thing missing from the ad was "no low balls, I know what I got" lol.

Hi @chipper1 you need to clean your rig. And your shirt

Yeah, the trucks not that bad yet, my hoodie, it's pretty close .

Air tubes doing their thing this morning.
For garden dirt, it's hard to beat compost. I have a pile in the back corner of my place. Garden waste, leaves and sticks etc. I dig it up and turn it over every once in a while or when I need worms for fishing.

Some small cherry pieces ripped up
I have a newer band saw but this one just keeps on going

Bit of snow in misery today......

Had to run down to the hardware store today for a 1 3/8 fostner bit . On the way back I stopped to fill up my Jeep before the storm this weekend . A NYC DEP guy comes up to me to comment on the Jeep he’s a big enthusiast of the XJ model . He has 3 right now we talk for a bit he’s really liking mine and sure enough he asked if I’d take $3800 for it . I’d double my investment but what would I buy it took me a couple of years of casual looking to find this one . I wasn’t looking actively but my neighbor put this one up and I jumped on it . I told him “Thanks but I really don’t want to sell it”

Plus then you would have had to walk home. Definitely not worth it.

And he just filled it up, doubling the price.

Regular is 2.97 . So it’s not to bad

This one is a keeper . No rattles ,runs great and drives great too. Unless I found a nicer one it’s staying here

Well I will still happily tell any potential buyer that it does.

Happy New Year you yahoos !!!

Got home today to find out that some Southerner sent me the fanciest , heaviest, glossiest wooden Christmas card ever !!!
It definitely is fitting for a spot on the mancave mantle

Would you scrounging this

be a good idea?

The head is a Prentice PE44 coming off a burned out machine. The truck is not road worthy, yard truck only. Loader runs on a 6cyl Perkins.

If you enjoy turning wrenches, it might be.

Looks like a project.

Saw it on the internet so it must be true. Drying orange peel on the stove is supposed to smell nice and makes good fire starter. So I'm trying it out.

Certainly has a peal!
