Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Lee192233]

For the money it’s a no brainer . New block with roller cam . Aluminum heads 5 year warranty that doesn’t void because owner installed . Hope to install it in the next few weeks

The only complaint we had was from a guy who had a pretty rowdy 327 in his 69 Camaro that had a rod that wanted to see daylight. We put in the 375 hp 350 from Blueprint. When he picked it up and started it for the first time he was disappointed with how smooth it idled. Needless to say he was pleasantly surprised with the driveability and when he got on it the first time he was amazed how it pulled right up to 6k rpm. Another added benefit was enough vacuum to run his brake booster.

Scrounged the last of the garden 2023 butternut from the basement and made a pie.

a very diluted bleach wash and stood on end on mats really made for a long shelf life!

Scrounged an old cement mixer and am about ready to run my gas tank tumbler.

a cement mixer is a great thing to have. When we moved off the farm we sold ours off with all the equipment. I've regretted that decision since my pop made it.

Didn't think about a bleach wash. Half mine rotted in the basement.

Sometimes I wonder how my uncle was able to snag the land he did, sure it was cheaper in the 80’s, but fellas were making less back then

My future boss, 3rd generation owner, is a good guy

Likes hunting and guns

Asked me if he buys this can he try it out up at camp

I sometimes wish I had “endless funds”

Exactly the type of vehicle my friend would buy... We've referred to his selection of vehicles over the years as Andymobiles.

Last post then bed

I say Grizz

There are fools on Facebook that are saying Gorilla

I had to remind them a Gorilla weighs 400 and a Grizz 800 and stand 3 feet taller and has CLAWS

What do you guys think??

I think the Lion even beats the gorilla

Claws are hard to beat….

I think it's the gorilla with his superior intelligence and ability to climb. But....claws are hard to beat!

Old timers would put a tractor on blocks and ratchet strap a fuel tank full of steel shot to the drive wheel. Just make sure to block the wheels good in case she comes down.

I would not bet against a Brown Bear! I heard of a similar "bet" that actually occurred years ago. The bet was between a Brown Bear and a Bengal Tiger.

The Bear killed the Tiger almost instantly. So, they re-did it with 2 Bengal Tigers, and the Bear killed both of them!

Just gotta connect the tank to the pump, say a prayer and cross my fingers. Hopefully it all works like I hope

Hmm, wrong prayer…

I've never seen anyone put one on blocks doing that, but I have seen someone driving around with a tank on the wheel before.

Also, anyone I ever saw do it, used stones inside the tank.

Gorilla..... Brute strength like no other. Once saw it's smaller cousin pick a big wooden wire spool up over his head and throw it a fair piece across his enclosure. I want no part of a large male silverback!

My d@mn I overfilled it tool.

Bah…just hang the saw over the tailgate and tighten up the cap…go back to cutting

You can never over oil something

Oh yeah, lots of times. I don't think I'd ever leave one alone though!

With help from Thing 1 today. Some of the cottonwood quarters were too big to consider fitting through the OWB door. (Thing 2 will get her turn to help tomorrow. )
