Well, 6x dump truck loads of limbs, and 1/4 cord of firewood later, I finished up the pruning job at the neighbor's farmhouse 1/8th mile down the road. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly I can create a mess with that KM130 Kombi pole saw, and how long it takes to clean it up. But, it gets s-word done. The owner, a Korean (2x) Purple heart vet, was so happy he almost cried. He was actually silent for about a minute, and glassy eyed. I got a few bucks for doing it, but seeing him smile with the place looking better was worth it. And, it's always fun playing a 1970's Chevy dump truck with a 350, granny 4-spd and a split diff!
I'm going to put a new alternator on that dump truck tomorrow, as it's going out. It'll be a piece of cake compared to my F-350. Getting the ratchet on the idler pulley of that frenching Ford, and through the fan shroud is almost a 2-person job. It's easy to get at when the radiator shroud, and cooling fan are removed, but that's a ridiculous amount of work, simply for an alternator replacement.
