Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

I saw him about 2 weeks ago to give him a bag of asparagus. He bought another saw (imagine that) but I forget what it is.(dang CRS) He's doin good and stihl cuttin wood.

It wasn't a stihl, so we'll let you off the hook this time .

Checking out the tram this morning and your Kubota came to mind. A filter like this one would keep you of trouble in the future.

That's a nice setup. Mine you have to unscrew just to drain it, nowhere near as convenient. I drained mine last weekend before adding more fuel, it's been running great. Last night I got another 8 gallons for it, that should get me close to the top of the dam built, about 8hrs of run time.
Here's where it's currently at, added another 25-30 buckets last night. I'd like to get a total of about 6" on the top of the dam this morning, but if my work calls I'll be heading in. The last bit got poured on so that's settled in pretty good, next rain is predicted for Friday so I'm trying to get another layer down before then.

This one is taken from a good bit rather back, hard to see with the shadows.

Tried to get two from the left side to show the slope/grade on the back side of the dam. I added a bunch of buckof topsoil to it last weekend where the grade is set, about 15' of the lower side of the dam, the top is pretty flat now, so it will be a while before I add anymore topsoil.

Now that everything is pretty much dried up, it was time to widen my road out a little, so I put a batt. in my dozer and got started,

I found a small hydraulic leak and the radiator was a little low, so once I track those down I have stump's to push out.

Went and picked up 30 IBC's on Sunday, and then I went and got the new firewood hauler today. Been an expensive last 12 months around this house! Now it's time to drink.

No scrounging for me lately need to get my truck done .Started to rework the 59 year old 50 cal box for the side but it was too much of a project so I bought a new one . Not sure if it will be body color or satin black but the holes are drilled and its temporarily mounted this is the inside of the old box lid

Also got this ad for an awesome multi purpose wheelbarrow on accuweather today
