Spend most time on AGN but I do go to GTA also. I am pretty invested in Air, 2-25cal, 2-357, 2-30cal, Tex-45, Wildcat 25 and a few more plus tanks and compressor, it is nice that I can get some stuff done with my GC1705, even though I have over a mile of heavy woods behind my range I do want to build a berm down at the 100 with the 1705 that way I will feel a bit better when having the 308, 6.5 creedmoor, 308 express and 338 out, the 100 gets old real fast then I need to go to sportsman club.

I will be looking at updating my SCUT to a CUT in a couple years(maybe sooner) being we have the opportunity to buy 40 more acres next to our 12.7 acres, if the Massey proves to be a good purchase I will look into a 1734e.

Can稚 wait till the 35x45 area is done so I can get the shop started. More seat time coming.

Jim.

I'm working on a flat spot for a 36x48 shop myself, I can't wait for that to be done...

I'm quite invested as well, but I just have a large quantity of lower end stuff... I like the Crosman pumpers and other Crosman's mostly just from familiarity... The airgun count is over 100... most don't get shot and quite a few are "started projects". Most expensive I have is the Benjamin Marauder, next is the Benjamin Maximus then it goes all over the place

. One of the next purchases will be a compressor, I've been hand pumping the PCP's which gets in the way of doing other things...

Well fall is here, finished chopping hay day before yesterday started chopping corn yesterday, did about 100 ton yesterday.

Won't get quite as much done today, going to be short handed and I can only do a part day myself.

Not much in the way of seat time on the tractor lately... but I got another fun seat to sit in about a week and a half ago. Wife mentioned getting a bike about 2 months ago, I took that bait hook line and sinker! Found a really clean 2003 Suzuki Intruder 1500 with only 6k miles on it, and local to me. Asking price was low, and we brought it home. Rode it to work every day since! Missed riding, not been on a bike in 10+ years...

Here are the berms, from the other end of the field. And you can still see that "birdhouse"!

View attachment 621701

This whole field was nothing but thick pine woods when we bought the place 5 years ago..

:laughing: Now all you need is a salt block. Some of your last few pictures are right side up, must of fixed it.

I cleaned up my burn pile. Over the years or have accumulated quit a pile of ashes. 4 loads later it was level again. There’s nothing like moving burn plies in a white truck.

My seat time today was in my pick-um-up truck, to go not far from here, where my arborist friend was taking 7 oaks down.

He told me to "show up" and they would help me load my trailer with wood, and they did!

With what also was in my pu, it totaled about 2 cords... :thumbsup:

That pic could make the "Towing or Hauling Something Wrong" thread, if it wasn't just for demonstration purposes. Still, at over 5 tons I'll bet that you knew that you had a load on the way home.
It will keep you warm for many winter nights. :thumbsup:

Yep, got several salt blocks around the place.
If I take the pics with my phone laid over to the left they come out right side up here

Congratulations on your motorcycle purchase, I ride too. Watch out for distracted drivers messing with their cell phones etc.

Round two of rehabing the driveway at the house my cousin bought a few months ago. Terrible ruts and was a good 6 inches below the level of the lawn. Did one 16 yard load a little over a month ago and let it settle and pack down. Had another 16 yards dropped today. 3/4" crusher run.

Took a beer break

Finished

My guess is you have 3/4 cord on a 3/4 ton PU and 1-1/4 on trailer with trailer brakes. Looks like the firewood is cut at random lengths, 16-24". I prefer uniform length, 16-18" so I get uniform heat................

Imold · Sep 20, 2019

Got some more roots cleaned out today for shop build.

Jim.

Let's be picky, already.

It was free wood, cut and loaded. No doubt he helped, yet that's still a pretty good price.

I sometimes pick up log ends... random length since they are butted off to make saw logs. If they are close to the length it's fine, if I can cut them in half and be close that's great also. Leftover short sticks and cookies are still great for Saturday mornings when I'm inside anyways making next weeks meals; or out in the shed when working on something they go into that woodstove. The best part is that they are free.

I also only bring home rock maple, beech, yellow birch, and an occasional ash. I can get plenty of junk wood off my own property.
