Still not going out in the cold for fun, just me
I'm a fair weather fun guy myself. If its raining and I want to go hunting, I stay home. If its cold and I want to go fishing, I stay home. The weather definitely dictates my outdoor activities.
 
I know this thread is about scrounging free wood(and everything else):laugh: but when deals come ya gotta grab em. I only have a pic of the pile a guy offered me because I was to busy hauling it home last week. The stack is a bit over 6 cords. Hickorys,locust ,oak,cherry and some type of hard maple.Only 2 miles from the house. Some neede resplit to suit me. Long stuff over 18" is mostly all sold.About a cord of hickory in in MY pile. 1 cord left to sell. Did I mention it cost me less than $100 per cord? :happy:

But don't you just love listening to the high priced weather people and their poor weather forecast turns out wrong? Been there done that too many times. Wasted days. I want their jobs.
 
Most guys have been pretty cool. Couple of the guys in MN who belong to the other sites turned out to be snakes. And ctyank was a real strange dude (right @MechanicMatt lol).
Steve, I keep trying to forget that guy....

he was beyond weird, I remember telling my pal to never get caught alone with him.

It puts the lotion in the basket
 
Tonight’s scrounge..... vehicle isn’t for me but one of my techs. The stuff we do to help others......
His suv died and he didn’t feel that the cost of doing the bottom end was worth it. I stumbled across this 2004 Rendezvous with 22,000 miles for free. We made a plan to get it tonight, then the weather didn’t cooperate. White knuckling 93mile (each way) drive. Oh well, safe and sound home now.

They got it wrong again for us here, 1 to 3 Inches and freezing rain. We just got some rain. I'm sure it will freeze in spots but nothing like what they called for.
 
I had a teacher in grade school, her husband had a bunch of these. Pretty cool stuff. (This was 30 years ago). I wonder how much it’s changed through the years
My latest build, not flight, but still pretty big. That's my 4 yo in the one picture. Engine is still an engine. 34cc should be around 7hp way its ported with that pipe. Still a 2 stroke. Electronics and batteries got better. The rest is more or less the same.
The first and last pics arw the same truck, just different airfilter set up. The side filter sucked too much leaves and grass up.

That's awesome.

Beggars can’t be choosers. Free is awesome for a car with that few miles!!!
 
Here's with the body on, and some piston pics for comparison and to keep it slightly related to wood and saws, the 34cc zenoah on the left, 562xp center, and 394xp right. I promise I'll get some splitting pics or wood pics up here soon. Lol
