5. 2001 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 w/ only 46,100 miles!

Who are your favorite authors? You like Wodehouse?
 
1. Bill
2. 68
3. Retired lead engineering tech r&d lab
Full and part time firewood business between jobs always kept the saws sharp
Ready to go. It was an insurance against failure and success to have a backup
Plan. Class A machine builder/erector. Welder fabricator. Can design and build
Anything. Found out I can eat my lunch anywhere and can do any job don’t limit your self.
4. LMB fishing seeking a new state record. Working on anything mechanical.
5. No truck at this time. I have a 55 cj Willy’s Jeep, a 99 wrangler Jeep.
6. Married 44 years, three kids pushing 40’s.
7. Mostly Husqvarna saws most of them. But stihls, partners have bullied there way
In too. Love that 99cc/2100 husky she means business.
8. Tempwood top loader(2)
9. One crazy yellow lab keeps the black bear at bay, plus six cats.

Favorite job was building machines but the cheap imports has wiped out the machine tool business in America. My first love is logging firewood, I’m in control of my future. I proved that hard work does pay off. I wish I could do it all over again I’d would of stayed in the forest cutting trees. Exercise, fresh air, hearing the snow hit the ground no one has a better workplace than me. Working in gods grand design is awesome. Think about this when you gas up your saw. Godbless

Projects, built my own log splitter, in the process of building a fel/backhoe for my estate tractor. Better than spending $50k then it sits when the work is done. Built a 78/k30 4x4 Chevy. They weren’t offered till ‘79 new.

I adopt abondoned kittens I find when fishing. I wish the animal abusers a lifetime of hard luck they could take the kittens to a no kill shelter. I do adopt them. Did you know adopting two or more kittens there much happier being they have each other? Plus there more entertaining. I adopt dogs too.
