Mine is probably 25+yrs old.
My new versions are lighter. (Weed whackers)
Then again the bush hog comes in handy.

Loaded up some scrap.

$6100
Got home and checked behind the shop.
There wasn't any a couple of days ago.

Cut the frame off the body of the fire truck. Then the rear wheels and differential off the frame. 19 leaf springs on the rear.
I tipped the body over trying to shake the frame off. Things tend to roll easier going downhill 😏
Once would been good but 2.5 roll overs was a tad too many.
At least it stopped, if it had rolled to the bottom it would have had to cut up totally.

We won't discuss the T bar screw up again.

I like having critters around the house, as well. We get raccoons nightly, a possum on occasion
and several deer that pop by at night, generally. Beaver and otter frequent the riverbank, and
we even had a seal swim all the way up here one time. It munched a bunch of salmon, then
headed back out to the salt water where it belonged.

Riverine areas are great habitat. Well you already know that.

Yep ! There are 7 rivers within 75 miles and we are right on the Pacific. It's nice to have all the wildlife around.

Has anyone else had one of those weeks?
The ceiling downstairs has had its issues. Wrong product in the boxes, or the other way around 🤔
Now the beaded 4x2 ft panels have a slight warp to them. (Even after being stacked in the house for nearly a year)

Got the high 30ft bin this morning. I cut the fire truck body at 18ft. Bin is 16ft? WTF!
Must be a China thing-make everything short....🤣
Driver said he'd deliver a 20ft long on Monday.
Plan B fill this bin with other stuff.

Ok I've got to 9am, positive thinking 🤔 😅
I'm sure the rest of the day will go great 👍

Heh !! My 8 1/2 month old grand daughter could... and would, drag that gate away, or just open it. She is Thee strongest 8 1/2 month old we have ever seen. Smart too !!
I guess that that's a good thing, strength over weakness ?
