Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Prices have skyrocketed on full 50 amp hookup sites . I mainly use it for dry camping like the truck show in Macungie PA. Truck gets 15 mpg at best and the MH 10 solo or towing . The MH has Cat . The entire weekend the VFW charges me 50 bucks.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The old metallic green. Cool fan, and you know what I mean... both! I have some old ones and people always comment on how unsafe they are, pre-safety era back when people weren't protected from being stupid . I always say, "Just don't stick your fingers in there when it's running"

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finished fabrication of a new anvil stand a few weeks ago, just been waiting on a cold enough day I could run the corn stove on high long enough to heat the stand up for a final coating. Will get the legs filled with sand today and should be done.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sand in the legs , hmm, would that be for more weight or does it help absorb the shock ??? or something else .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Excellent job on the stand. Interesting. I'm curious about the sand as well. I have to say, that is one sexy anvil... and I mean that!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finally, I have something to add. I started to install the power blower and bagging kit onto my JD riding mower. I have to say I hate universal instructions!!! They were written for four different models, and it wasn't made really clear which set went with which mowing deck. A job that should have taken a couple of hours, at best, was an all afternoon job. I also changed the blades and cleaned off all the stuck on grass from the under side of the deck. I bought this mower used last year and I don't think the PO ever did that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You got it done and ready for the season now. That's something I need to do soon.
I was spreading mulch and decided to finally repair this section of dry stack stone wall that has been failing for years to where it was collapsed. The whole thing is only a 10'+/- section so I ended up tearing it all down and relaying the whole thing. I have a load of crushed stone for in my cellar. So I laid a bed and backfilled using that, for drainage. Dang chipmunks got in there and displaced the original stone backfill. All done and mulched up! A small victory against the never ending list of things that need done.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
More firewood smallest one of three oaks that came down at my friends place . Did this whole tree today with one saw and a fiskers splitter and had to walk it to the trailer in a wherlbarrow . Ground to muddy to drive on with the truck or the Kubota . Hit what looks like a roofing nail on the last cut . This is why I don’t like yard or roadside trees. But no real damage to the chain so it’s all good . One oak in the trailer ready to stack .
I stopped counting the wheelbarrow loads at 25 and was just shy of half full on the trailer

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Adding in the wheelbarrow ride is a huge element. A job in itself. Been there done that. Not so easy in the soft stuff either. There are tops I can have at a friend's place who had it logged. It's all back in the woods w/o vehicle access.
I moved things around in my woodshed to make better use of the space. I have things stored on one side and other things were mixed in on the firewood side. It bugged me but wasn't a priority. I fixed it yesterday. Doing piddley things catching up on the yard from over winter while messing a bit with my "barn move". I got mulch all spread and got to use the 12t bottle jack I ended up buying at HF. It works as hoped. It handles jacking up a single point to make adjustments at the supports. I haven't removed the temporary support posts yet, too allow the building to sit on the temp connector walls I built. Next will be cross supports straight across post to post/over the connector walls. The posts are 4x4 and the cross beams will be 2x8s on either side of the post with 4x4 between. These will be flush with the bottom of the wall plates, and will roll on the pipe. These 'move from' connector walls have been done a while. I poured the concrete on the other side a few weeks ago and have all but one 'move to' connector walls done over there now. No picture yet. The cross beams will be at the posts/connector walls

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
... A couple threads and or thoughts on this website inspired me to actually be productive today. so, my Son started helping me at 830 and we filled my truck box full of stuff I did not want any more. that stuff unloaded so fast at the land fill it was fun to throw it out of the box. 8$ dump fee, then I gave him 45 bucks and a half roll of Duct tape for wages. he said thanks and I had him home in time for track practice around noon. and we talked A Lot of shop today.
then I went and spent about 1700$ on a new bed. free delivery and set-up. good thing I have a can of scented Air freshener, details are important. . less is more sometimes.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I remember not so long ago when yard waste disposal was free, and so was taking the mulch. My county landfill has a minimum/car load rate of $7. I need to clear out some unwanted things as well. I need a flea market. There used to be the best one at Harpers Ferry, WVA. It got ruined by a snobby historic group who bought the property to shut it down. The flea market drew more tourism than that minor Civil War battlefield ever will.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The disposal site is still free up here. I was really surprised because when I lived down south it was expensive to go to the dump. There are also certain days that you can burn trash.
I guess that they figure people will just dump their trash in the desert if they charged. Which is probably true. I have curbside pickup. It's kind of expensive but I'm too lazy to go the the dump.
