I think you need to post the grocery cart on the Runnin' Loads thread for posterity. LOL

this wood is a bit hard, but it cut it just fine...

Love the new wood hauler! If it has one of those wobbly wheels on the front it will shake all of the dirt and bark off by the time you get home.

Seems a bit harsh, but I guess they must have deserved it.

Choose your friends carefully @James Miller

We'll have to start calling him Steve Cheney.

22 long rifle hollow points with the cowboy pistol this morning on a possum that was given me a hard time.

I’m in a cooking group on Facebook and one old boy posted start to finish of fried gopher.

They people who only eat meat from a store lost their minds. It was great.

The only better reaction was the time a different fellow did baked muskrat with mushroom gravy.

Maybe you should get checked out then, but then again you're saying you may be insane so maybe you're just fine .

I'm still waiting for the voices in my head to get back to me with an appointment timeslot. Apparently one of them is a shrink whom the others highly recommend.

You're a good man, Kiwi. It is a shame to see all your painstaking work not come up quite as good as you had hoped but I'd bet folding money that they'll still be stoked to see it and won't see the imperfection you see. No-one is anywhere near as critical of their art as the artist.

I'm not a good man mate. I'm as much of an arsehole as the next arsehole if not more. Just every now and then I do something nice to ruin my hard-earned reputation.

I reckon about 1/2 a day of repairs - a bit today and a bit tomorrow and the project will look about 90% OK. Still imperfect but I can fudge it a little more than I first thought so, silver linings and all.

Best meat I’ve ever eaten is muskrat. If they got as big as pigs or cows I’ld never buy beef or pork again.

Hopefully they can get you a deal.

I'm going to repost your shopping cart load in my thread, https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/runnin-loads.286525/ , cause we are only down to a handful of unused transportation ... and a shopping cart wasn't on the list !! Kudo's to you.

BTW I'm half Kiwi on my Dad's side but some how am stuck North of 50, about a 1/3rd the way up Manitoba, Canada.

Keep on .... Runnin' Loads !!

Does anyone else scrounge for bolts like this? I probably have 25 cans worth of goodies from dad and grandpa.

really do like my 'fastener inventory'. tip of the iceburg...and does not include all my ANs...


usually can find what I need or want, but not always quickly! lol

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

I’m especially a pack rat at the cabin, because if you need anything on Saturday afternoon or Sunday it’s an hour and ten minutes to the nearest hardware store!

I hate having to go to town... shoots the afternoon! I even carry an empty gasoline 5 gallon can with me back n forth so I can arrive with gasoline and not need to go get it...

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

It’s in my list of things to do to sort by size transfer from coffee cans to largemouth mason jars so you can see what’s in there.

haha, that would be a bucket list item for me... sort by size! admirable project, for sure. maybe in my next life... lol

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

I currently have 'invites' to go to the Bahamas, Carolinas, NW WIsconsin, Sioux Falls, . . .


Mine are labeled! This is a small fraction (cropped out some of the hoarding mess).

fancy lables!

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

Only 25?
Coffee cans just waiting for something to go into them. And cans with valuable stuff in them. Never know when you'll need an antique hand cut nail or a nut to a cell tower base.

lol, that's too organized for me!

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

I also have the baby food jars - still used when my kids were small! That is what I remember the 'old farts' having when I was a kid: coffee cans and baby food jars. Philbert

my dad was a 'hot shot' mechanic... A&P... radials, recips and jet turbines! gunsmith, etc. he could do almost anything mechanical! gas weld like heliarc! etc. I can still remember the day.... and I was quite young... under 5... when I was with him one day and he was working on something... and he told me about nuts n bolts... and always to save them. don't throw out any u have left... and he showed me his 'inventory'. he made a life long impression on me that day. what I have now is my 2nd collection. I had one, too up north...

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

I have a multi tiered rack with mason jar lids. When my mother and aunt were cleaning out my grandparents basement my aunt threw the mason jars and contents away. Pissed me right off.

previous owner of my place used them. the lids. up under a shelf. not sure if I removed them or not. guess I will have to check...
