This was worth the gas.
« on: May 19, 2017, 03:10:00 PM »
Took a little trip this week and it turned out pretty good. Scored 22 osage logs, one stave and one set of billets. Also scored 150 port orford cedar shafts and a few other odds and ends including a Asbell Bighorn Ram Hunter longbow that was like new..

Wow.  I picked up 2 limbs last week after a big storm passed through, and I thought I was lucky.
I'm jealous.

I'm surprised that dodge could haul that much weight.  LOL

But that's a great load of Osage.

Congrats.

Drove from Ohio to Missouri then Kansas for it, the guy was selling it as fence post. Hey Roy I know what you mean, I'm a chevy guy myself. Borrowed the truck and trailer for he trip. Have some good friends. But it hauled it like it wasn't even back there.

Wait for it........  


It had a Toyota stuck right in the air cleaner and was plugged up. Took that TRD out and pitched in the trash can and ol Chev was good as new.

My truck has 209000 miles on it. Love my GM products, The Dodge is just all set up for pulling and better fuel mileage than my 1998 pickup. No new truck in my future until I retire.

Only good thing about Dodge is you can get a Cummins in it. Then the engine outlasts the truck.

need to start splitting it this week, gonna be busy. But it is all sealed up and sprayed for bugs so I don't have to rush, but it is easier to move in stave form than its current state.
