Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Jerked out a gnarly juniper on our land next door with my old 89 K1500. I wasn't sure it was going to come out but after about a dozen jerks it finally did. I'm almost surprised the bumper didn't come off instead
![]() It was right on a sharp corner of the two-track up there and I want to widen it out so I could get a camper or trailer up on the upper bench of land. The rest I will just cut but I didn't want the stump sticking out and re-growing. Next week I need to get to work with the chainsaw.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Gnarly junipers can be tough customers. I pulled one out many years ago with my K20. Hubs locked, low range of course, on dry level pavement. First it straightened my truck out, then the tires spun. Pretty sure I had to do a bit more digging & carving on roots before it broke free. The juniper, not the truck.....

That entire 10 acres above the road is full of multi-stem junipers growing up under the pines.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My son and I built an exhaust for his generator on his fifth wheel. Installed a little Honda muffler, very quiet now. For over $100,000.00 fifth wheel, they sure put a cheesy exhaust on it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yesterday my son and I hiked to Maryland's highest point, Hoye Crest on Backbone Mt. It is located at the very SW tip of Maryland. The Fairfax Stone was set during George Washington's time and is nearby. It is the survey mark, set by Mason & Dixon, that marks the tip of Maryland, which is where the western boundary shoots straight to the square corner at the MD/PA border originates. The origin is a spring that is the source of the (N. Fork) Potomac River. Up real near Hoye Crest is where Marker #3 is set

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Tim, that’s an awesome hike, I did it about 10 years ago, we also did the high point in PA(just up from MD) Wv( the restaurant at the base of the peak is an awesome place to grab a bite) and Mt Rogers in Va. I miss those days.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got out this morning and started cutting juniper brush on the 20 acre place we bought next door. It's a pretty frustrating and unrewarding task but there are a few pine trees to fall to widen out the road up in there. I hurt my back about a month ago working on the house and just now getting back into doing stuff and I sure am sore.
Still not sure what happened to the last 40 years ??? ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Worked on my utility trailer lights. When I rewired and replaced the lights last year I had a pair of carbon fiber turn signal/side marker lights left over from a motorcycle project years ago so I decided to use them as clearance lights. One of the bulbs was burned out but I decided to check a few things before simply replacing the bulb. Yep, something grounded out. After a few tests with the DVM the search was on. Found one of the clips that came with the wiring kit had pinched through one spot on the wire. I didn't really like those when I put them on so now I am considering removing all of them and replacing with something else.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
A year ago I thought I'd replace those what I thought were cheapy plastic tail lamp units on my trailer with some nicer metal ones. That was a mistake as they began to rust right away. Now they look like they're 30 years old. Another lesson learned moment for me.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It has hurt practically my whole life. The day before I turned 15 some drunk/distracted driver rear ended a parts store van which had its front wheels turned waiting to turn left and popped across the center line into the path of our 1966 C10 pickup. I caved in the glove box with my knees but wasn't hurt until a few days later my lower back started hurting.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Jim - sounds like my luck. Try to make things better and regret it in the long run. I actually like these little lights on the sides of my trailer. They light up after dark as side markers but also blink and light up on signal and brake. They were in my tool box for probably 10 years. Were supposed to go on a sport bike I was working on but owner changed his mind.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Today I did something that I haven't done in years.
I rode the bus. ![]() I had to drop my car off at the shop and had no ride home. Somehow everyone I know was busy and it took me a week to get this appointment for the car. So I wasn't missing it. So I took the bus home. It wasn't bad. Kind of nice actually. But it did remind me of when I was a kid and my school bus crashed and we all went flying around.(No seat belts in those days) No one got really hurt but we all got bounced around pretty good and that bus was really smashed up. So it was kind of a Deja Vu moment for me.
