Those are custom!

I was just admiring @jcarlberg Can-Am 6x6 wheelbarrow in the firewood thread.

Those are custom!

I was just admiring @jcarlberg Can-Am 6x6 wheelbarrow in the firewood thread.

They are each a POS. In June 2022 I was buying a huge amount of materials and equipment online from an auction about 70 miles north of me. There were (3) of them in one lot. I honestly did not look at the pics very close. I ended with the. group of three for $21 plus $2.10. They sat here and I would toss them on CL/FB from time to time. I said $35 for choice of one, $50 for two, or all three for $60. Last week some guy who barely spoke English showed up in an SUV and handed me $35 for one. I was happy. Now it is time for these two to go to the burn pile

I've been guilty of buying them just to haul my auction treasures to the truck. COVID all but killed live sales now. My favorite auctioneer manages a NAPA now.

I’m trying to catch a cat that was dumped here but I caught my compost bin grazer. I guess he / she wanted tuna for a change. I wonder if this is the same one from before.

I caught one of those, trying to catch a coon.

When I was a kid we didn’t have a TV. Sometimes we would drive around in the jeep at night looking for ‘possums. When we saw one we would jump out and chase it down with a flash light. If you hold them up by the tail they can’t bite you, but they’re surprisingly heavy. I ran into several trees and got bit a few times. For some reason, I remember it fondly.

Cut them into lengths for a mountable chainsaw scabbard!

I had a coon come through around the same time most nights. I used run across the yard half naked banging a shovel on stuff to make noise. It stopped coming around. I don’t care that they are around but I know the smaller dog would go after it and I don’t need another vet bill.

Weed control

 

[Wilhelm]

...continued...

Not without challenges & issues...

 

[Wilhelm]

...saplings interfering with weak nylon lines, had to go heavy duty...

That is round 3.0mm Polyamid line, it didn't break once!

Ugly bastards

 

[Wilhelm]

24.5km / 15.2 miles Sunday walk with the pup.
She is both exhausted & happy.

 

[Wilhelm]

Planned more weed control today.

Took the walk behind mowers blade of for a grinding - thankfully.

The blades "wings" were holding on to a razor thin edge.
Decided on a ugly quick fix till I get a new blade ordered.
Without those "wings" the blade doesn't throw the grass out!






Note to self: order a new blade!

 

[Wilhelm]

Holding up well so far.
Collecting it all, just to throw it away.
It is just too much to leave on the ground, it interferes with the next cutting.
What a PITA!

 

[Wilhelm]

Not collecting on the back yard, I never do!
Ducks and Silkies will spread it out & trample in.
Also, it attracts bugs - good food for both quack & cluck.

 

[Wilhelm]

Also trimmed all hedges and cleaned up.





And I helped my niece weed control her orchard.
First I was out of fuel, thankfully I keep my chainsaws fuelled.
But then I ran out of line and I am calling it quits for today it being almost 8PM.


I am outside since about 8AM, weed control all day!

P.S.:
I need to go buy fuel!
Within the last 5 days I burned no less than 10 liters of gasoline.

There is no doubt COVID permanently affected live auctions. We still have a few here that are on-site only. There is one this Sunday and one the following Saturday. There are some that are both on-site and online then of course those online only.

I have caught a few coon.
I know the quality is poor but took this picture in 1985. It seems like yesterday to me.........hard to believe that was almost 40 years ago.
