Not So Pro 3

Howdy. Had ta move this junk outta the way to get hay this morning. Plenty of trees down after last night's wind. View attachment 372378The other half split off a few years ago. It was just a matter of time.

The wind was brutal here yesterday I cut blow downs

and today
I measured my roof for metal the shingles was destroyed
And a guy got mad this shed he gave 3k for it kept blowing over so he gave it to my friend
We dragged it on skids over a mile



Bastard was attacked by a neighbor's mastiff mix he tore up his leg and stomach
A friend is a vet tech she's taking him to see if they can help him tomorrow.

I am jealous is all. Except the ball game. I can nap without one.

You should try the ballgame with a beer. It makes the nap even better.

That run in shed must be built fairly well if it flopped a couple times and still looks that good. Has steel come down in price much? It was way high.
Sorry to hear about ol Bastard hope he pulls through.

That shed is insulated panels the same company makes construction buildings and tiny houses etc. and we built my friends entire house out of them strong stuff.
I have a friend that's going to try to get me a deal if possible
metal is very high the last few years
I have free labor so that's a plus.
No idea about bastard he's the first cat I've ever taken to a vet
Other than spay or neutering.
He may have a abscess she told me.

Evening nappers and fappers.
Been down south for a couple of days helping the in-laws.
Got up at 0400 Saturday morning, drove over to the nephews place, went down to Weewahitchka FL and picked up that ratty-looking bucket truck.
About 4 1/2 hours from him.
Replaced fuel lines, filters, and installed a temporary 55 gallon drum for a fuel tank.
Changed oil and filter. Put a battery and terminals, starter solenoid, and tinkered with the lights a bit.
Primed the fuel system with the electric pump. It doesnt appear to have a provision for a mechanical one.
Thing popped off and ran without even making a full revolution.
Tuned on the carb a bit. Running rich, but not terribly.
Has an Allison transmission, so that shifted fine.
Alternator was hosed, so we switched out the headlights for LEDs in a Wal-Mart parking lot when we got back to GA.
Made it all the way home with no issues at about 0230 this morning.
I got back to Swainsboro and got to sleep about 0400 this morning.
Got up about 0800 and been cleaning out the late BILs truck and building all day.

My printer died and the IRS wants taxes turned in every year for some reason
My neighbor said they do tax prep free at a workforce place
So I made an appointment and the girl looked just like this one
I said I'll be back next year

Oh theres gonna be a part 2 to this.
Its a damn solid truck....with chit for everything else. Body is beat to hell, but thats to be expected. It started life as a Pike county FL line truck apparently. At some point, it was bought by a contractor in GA and spent several years doing line work for them.
Then it was purchased by an arborist company in GA, and thats when most of the physical damage happened.
It eventually came back to FL, and spent about 3 years rotting in someones back yard. The massive damage to the front platform came during a hurricane, when a tree blew over on it, not from a rookie cutting a tree wrong.
Its still got a LONG way to go before I would climb in that bucket and go up.
Might end up scrapping the bucket and taking it back to a cab and chassis.
Let's just say that shes a squirter When she gets hot and ready to go.
Mostly rotted or animal-chewed hydraulic lines.
Not sold on the state of the fiberglass insulated sections of the boom either.
Just want to make sure the boy is safe.
