Picked up this box last year, knowing it needed work. Did a few little things to it, now I'm on to repairing the obviously well worn side plates.
Living in the low desert, all the ground here is rocky/sandy, which wears on anything dragging the ground. Having never owned a gannon before...
"Hey, so I know you just got done dealing with a 1,000 acre wildfire a couple weeks ago caused by people burning stuff, Maricopa County specifically bans burning this stuff year-round, and I already know about all this because it's part of my job....but the guy on the internet from a different...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Right....might have something to do with the fire ban that runs from May 1 to September 30. It's also listed clear as day on the county's website that burning yard waste such as tree trimmings is strictly prohibited.
Digging through this stuff isn't easy either. This is from...
Yes..I'm well aware of this. Which is also why I know that the county isn't giving me a permit for burning this stuff, and you'd have to be brain dead to think even for a second that it's a good idea to burn it when everything is dry as a bone around you.
From an ecological standpoint, it is, and it's EVERYWHERE out here. Some of the media sites make it sound like it's a small but growing problem, which it is...in the urban areas. But it's already WELL beyond the established point out in the rural areas. It literally carpets thousands of acres...
Maybe if you live where that weird white stuff ends up on the ground, but here it's a good way to get to have an unpleasant conversation with a Sheriff Deputy...
This time of year in the desert? Only if you want to be featured on the 5 o'clock news as the clown that started a 1,000 acre wildfire, lol.
It's a bunch of everything...a stupid amount of stinknet, palo trimmings (good lord, those things grow FAST!), a lot of random brushy things that I have...
I have an acre plus of scrub desert that's been heavily overgrown, largely because I've been lazy the last couple of years, lol. I've been slowly working on clearing it out again - dragging out a bunch of weeds, light brush, trimming up trees, etc. I've been building up piles of stuff, but it...
This is one of the things that has long irked me about less than full size trucks. There have been plenty of times in my life that a compact truck would have been fine from a towing/hauling weight capacity standpoint, but the shorter beds were always the problem.
Though I'm the freak that...
After having done a 2,000+ mile cross country trip on a Honda XR250, I figure anything done in a car is a piece of cake 😅 A few years later I did the same trip in a Volvo 850, and I was able to easily pull off a 1,000 mile 24 hour pull....felt like I could have stretched it out to 1,500 miles...
I haven't owned a TV in years at this point, and don't miss it one little bit. I do find it rather amusing how it confuses the hell out of some people though when they ask if I've seen such and such, I tell them no, as I don't even own a TV nor go to the movies...if it's come out in the last 15...
People think I'm nuts for taking my truck and trailer to pick up a "new to me" used vehicle purchased locally. Whether it's 5 miles or 50 miles away. There's only so much inspection I can do to a vehicle while it's sitting in someone's driveway or dealer lot, and I've had a couple times where...
