Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
I'd like to witness that migration. Do they carry green cards?
With 4wds we call them lifted. With cars we called it jacked up. Before tubbing became a thing and along with that the term "Pro-Street". These were "Street Machines" or even "Street Freaks"

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
I see those sandhill cranes in nor cal every year taking a break in the rice fields. Pretty cool birds.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
Reminds me of a mistake I made that I won't repeat. I was hauling a motorcycle in the bed of my 91 C1500 and had it secured with ratchet straps, but I hadn't properly tied off the excess amount of the strap that I had left from securing the bike. I was driving down the road when I heard a loud "Pow" sound and the truck jumped up like I'd run over something. The excess strap had slipped down between the cab and the bed and wrapped around the drive shaft. It ripped the strap into while pulling down on the front panel of the bed. No aluminum here, it just put a slight depression in the top of the front panel.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
Thought of the person tightening that strap: "I think I can get it just a little bit tighter..."

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
Saw this pic of what appears to be splicing of an old barn or building trusses from yesteryear. Now that's what you call a Cut-N-Stack.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
That's different from how I see beams joined in barns in this area. They look similar but at each end have some sort of a back cut to prevent spreading. This example is from a covered bridge

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
Timber framing is quickly becoming a lost art. I guess lots of cabin builders and Amish barn builders are still hanging on to the old ways. I find it fascinating.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
I wish I had know there was a better way when I spliced my windmill legs. I asked a contractor and he said a diagnal cut with construction glue and bolts for the joint.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
That is what happens whe you leave your tailgate down and back ito a pole. I have done it. I was pissed. I unloaded a 45 clip in it and parked it in front of the ROTC building on campus across from my dorm. They got a kick out of it, sticking fingers in the holes and tugging on the bullets stuck in the sheet metal.
That was a nice truck. 75 3/4 ton, burnt orange and white, 4' lift, 38' Gumbo Monster Mudders, and cold AC.

German Shepard vs. donut. Donut lost. Dumb dog dove into the car when I opened the door and landed right on it. Still tasted good.
