Tractors and wood! Show your pics

If he does give it to you, you need to start thinking real hard about a nice gift to give him.
That is what I personally would consider the difference of what makes someone a good person or a bad person.
I'm wondering if the laugh he had at you fixing the mill was because he thought you were dumb, or because he admired your perseverance?
What kind of impression do you want to leave with him? Does it matter what he thinks after you move on?
These things are what defines what kind of person you are, in my humble opinion.

A bit of off topic rambling.
I and a couple others administer a shooting range for him on a volunteer basis for the last ten years. We make him about $300k a year and he just has to take the cheques from us.
I called to confirm when his son told me I could have the finish mower (making sure his son wasn't giving dad's stuff away without him knowing) and I told him he's being too generous.
He said it's stuff he's not using and it's for all the work I put in around there.
I'm very aware of what he's given me even though to him it was junk he was tired of looking at. It's not junk at all. It's functional stuff.
I will offer him a bit of cash. He knows I can't afford much.
He chuckled about the mill because in his mind I was doing way too much for some free wood. If he thought red pine was good for anything he would go buy a new mill for himself.
I'm not going anywhere for the time being. I'm always gracious and appreciative when he has given me stuff, and make sure he knows I am thankful.
( the tractor may need a clutch - that he didn't want to fix. I haven't gotten far enough to check if it does or not. I have a whole thread on my gifted tractor).
I'm going to try and give him some money for fuel too. I have seen I'm the only one using the tele-handler lately and I've noticed the fuel use.

You can't just dump some into it?

The place is out in the bush. He has a bulk tank for his equipment.
I have no idea how many cans I'd have to muscle in to change the gauge.

How about taking a can of fuel with you each time you go out there, until you move the gauge?

There is always a way, if there is a “want to”.

I suppose I could. Might be a long time moving the gauge if I put some in and then he uses it for the next 2 days.
(I'm full of excuses)

True. And I want to give him some cash rather than hump fuel cans out there in my car-full-of-stuff.

That’s a good way. And you are using it.

Maybe a nice wood bench or something you can make out of the wood you are cutting... Something simple like this guy I made for around our pool, its always nice when it starts as a tree on the property.

The temperature was in the 60s today so I decided to cut some firewood. I haven’t used my mini x for cutting firewood until now but it’s a real work saver for holding logs to cut and loading the pieces on the dump trailer.
