Not anymore

Since you showed up.

Since you showed up.

That's a given these days. I bring grouchness, crying babies and dirty diapers to the party.

Oh my.

Oh my.

Wouldn't change it for anything though.

Is this where the cool kids hang out?

Up until now it was.

When you buy a 10-15 pound diaper, it can go a long time without being changed...

Morning fella's. 7.5" of rain in the last two days here. Had a tornado warning and a flash flood warning both yesterday. Sun is shining so far today and the ground just soaked it up. It ain't even muddy out there.

 

[SteveSS]

But the rain sure did bring out the flies. Damn things are everywhere.

This is a rough crowd. Good. I have thick skin, and sharp elbows. Watch me use em to make my way thru the crowd.

Helpful husband tip:
Don’t allow wifey to stash misc. under the sink.

I just hauled out years accumulation of alum pie tins, peanut butter jars, butter tubs and the like. Half a trash barrel of the crap.

Garbage disposal shot craps.

Water all over the floor.

Setting the dishwasher on ‘sani rinse’ (HOT !) may have tipped the balance. But, IDK. [emoji848]

We never had used ‘sani rinse’ before.

 

[67L36Driver]

The Farmertec 200t kit and a carcass showed up on my porch. [emoji108]

Too bad I got to change out the disposal. [emoji90]

Evening all! A bit soggy here in KS... Dad and I and a few friends cut the first load in the new to me 14', 14K dump trailer. Just bucked everything from 54-60" and loaded them sideways. Made a nice little pile in the yard and having access to a small JD grapple tractor to load them was the cat's meow!! Dumping themout was slicker than snot!!! That's the first time, in a long while, that I've put that much wood on the ground and NOT had a sore back.

A friend, who's fairly new to sawing, (and who's land we were cutting on), got to experience the 262xp that Randy built, along with the 550xp and the MS201T. Now, after playing with a few plastic pull-ons, He understands why we've made the investment in equipment that we have. I never even fired up the 562 and left the two bigger saws in the barn. I do think, that after I get my pay-raise and a few smaller bills taken care of, that a new Echo 2511 may find it's way in my barn, after a few mods. The older I get, and the more I experience "mileage" in my spine, the more I appreciate @sunfish 's cutting philosophy. I'll still go after the big ones. but I can do more small ones faster, with less wear and tear, AND less splitting.

Fast firewood is the key.

Started looking around for a 16 ft trailer to haul my toys on . Geez, used trailers ain't cheap. What's bad is used aren't that much cheaper than new. I think I'll re engineer my 10 footer into a 16 footer .
Should be able to keep it under a grand pretty easy. I can get pretty creative where I get stuff from .

I've got an camper I'm tearing apart has a 2x6 tube frame and 2 5200 or 6k axles on it. Itll be a deck over trailer. Itd be a cheap trailer for toys.

My next trailer will be a GN somewhere between 20-24' +5' and be a tandem dual axle, with full bed-width fold over ramps and elec over hyd disc brakes. Ought to handle any weight I'll ever throw at it and support it much better in slightly softer areas. There's a PJ I'm looking at very hard.

For all-around use though a conventional 16-18' bumper pull that's at least 7K is hard to beat though. I am a fan of L.E.D. lights though.

There is a used big tex local to me that a friend was looking at for around 8k I believe and a good looking trailer.

I just priced the steel and axles and wheels to build a 25+5 gooseneck with 15k hyd disc brakes and 17.5 tires I was gonna have between 12-15 in just that alone not including the little details. That's why I've been looking at a big truck and pintle trailer bc I can get into that pair for almost the same a a custom trailer to pull with my pickup. That's why it's almost cheaper sometimes to buy than build.
