Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That apron really completes the garage. So nice to be just outside the doors on nice days. Great payment plan!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That's very well done. Kind of a mud room for your garage - a place to rinse them off before rolling them in. Looks great.

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

Made a 280 mile round trip to pick up a Western plow for my '03 Suburban. 13 mpg going with no wind and 15mpg return with a tailwind. I'm happy with that.... GM crate 350 with an NV4500 5 speed overdrive trans. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That's really good mileage for a tonner. Was that plow off another GM same style? It looks like the universal mount.

Yes, the plow was off of an '02 Chevy 2500 HD. It bolted right on my '03 2500 HD Suburban. It is a Uni-Mount. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice flatbed Leon.
My neighbor has a nice 69 or 70 C30 flatbed. I'd like to buy it off him but he never comes out these days. I think his health is not so hot. Too bad. He's a nice guy. I never saw it until recently. He has a lot of stuff on his property. I don't want to bug him but if I happen to bump into him I'm asking about the truck.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not all today but we stack wood on rainy days . Stove has been burning on and off the past two weeks . So we used some so I'll bring down a couple of bucket loads with the Kubota

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Split some and decided to take a break and do some milling . Forgot how slow and hard it is to do with a chainsaw mill . Did four slabs the rest of this one and five other red and white oak logs are going to my friends mill . Just need to help him replace a hydraulic line . That will be a piece of cake .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Flatbed is looking good. Nice looking plow. That should keep the driveway clear.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not today but Saturday the wife and I snuck into the other Larry's backyard. Hiked to Hemmed In Hollow and then on down to the Buffalo. Waterfall was just a trickle as the recent rains weren't enough for runoff. Six miles total with 1000 feet in elevation down and back up. About four hours on the trail. Had an early dinner at the Low Gap cafe and then headed home.
