D-17?

D-17?

Yes. Second year too!

Nice. I grew up around a gas D-19, but always liked the D-17 as just a little smaller and handier for the 'light work'

Burning some Catalpa wood I cut this summer in the fire pit today.
No more seasoning than it has, it burns excellent!
Not quit the btu's of Oak & pops more than Oak, burning it is better than letting it rot I guess. Lol

CRAZY Cherry tree that grew fighting for light.
I'd guesstimate 14" diameter, it's still alive & well.
I'll cut it up for this Fall's Deer steaks.

It was very nice! It helps only being 20min away from the place.

They didn’t have a sign up, and I’m honestly not that good to tell the difference on an incomplete engine…it might have even been a Packard built Merlin

Yes, I forgot about Packard. You always see the Alisons at the tractor pulls.

Wow! Those look brand new Nathan!

Wow! Those look brand new Nathan!

I’m pretty excited, considering it’s a part made from 85-89, one is 86, 87 and one 88, it’s all interchange, but there are differences, like 80’s ford I-6!!

KENTO!
My brother from a different Mother!
My closest friend since I was 11 years old (he was 3 years older).
44 years brothers.

A TRUE Old School Mountain Man!
I used to drop him off 20 miles deep in the Ozarks & he would show up 2 or 3 days later on foot having camped in the wilderness
He was a Ginsing/Golden Seal hunter.

He would go to Deer camp with me but refused to kill one (he didnt want to kill anything).
Dont ya know he saw some monster Whitetails/Bears in his time!
I knew him better than his own family & cant step a foot in the woods & not think about him.

He passed away August 30th 2022.

I just wanted to Immortalize him on the Net.
Best guy I ever knew!

Someone cut the corner a bit sharp with that baler? That is not going to be cheap.
