Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

I liked how you introduced me at your house from long distance . "Oh hes just a guy from my saw board." Lol

My wife’s oldest sister is a personal trainer. She’s very toned and quite easy on the eyes. Nothing wrong with a gal staying in shape! It sure beats the alternative!!!

Close! Garrison Country Club. My pals son’s wedding

Do a lot of riding down that way

Its gotta be something to do with the wood .

 

[SS396driver]

Specially here in the north east we have lots of hard wood

One of the local golf courses recently sold off their fleet of carts, including the utlity/maintenance carts. My grandfather (right) had the connections to get my dad (left) set up with one for the homestead. I feel like I'll be the one using it most of the time, but I'm not complaining. Beats the hell out of a crummy ATV dump trailer. Has a 400cc Kawasaki engine and a pretty beefy hydraulic dump box. Leaf springs and knobby tires should be perfect for hauling firewood out of the bush, and it's got a hitch, so I can still tow my trailer behind it. Score!

I can do a whole thread on my trip on the bike but this sums it up the road goes on forever I have been to Europe, Australia , Asia . But my friends till you see the wonders of this continent it's just places. We really have the most diverse eco system in the world rain forests to deserts

They are finally getting out of Trilink at L and M.

5.88 for 16” and 7.88 for 20” loops. I bought two of each just to be safe.

Hardly pays to sharpen them at that price.

Nate, I love the repurposed horse trailer. There’s a dual axle “home made” trailer on our local Craigslist for $500. Looks like it was once a horse trailer (my sister had a horse and the wheels look just like pops old trailer). I’ve often daydreamed about grabbing it and converting/making a dump trailer outta it.

Thanks, glad it’s not any longer, hard to find places to turnaround with a trailer where I go, and will hold just over a cord. Best part is it was free, boss loaned it to us for our kids 4-H pigs and when I went to take it back he said just keep it.
That sounds like it would be a good trailer. Dump trailer would be very nice!

Jeff might have found it John. Found this pic. Doesn't grow everywhere in PA.

Thanks Steve,,, finding some leaves or those berry clumps may help, if I go back there... I'm going to dry out a small split of it, and see how it burns...

Showing once again that this is the website that identifies firewood.

 

[panolo]

Rings look fairly tight. Bet it don't burn that bad.

Any of you bicycle riders do things like RAGBRAI? Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. This year it ends in Clinton, Iowa, just a hop, skip and a jump as the crow flies from where I grew up.

It starts in Le Mars, Ice cream capital of the world.
