NEW Puget Sound/Seattle/Northwest area riders MEET HERE!!! thread
It's all split, now I have to haul it home and stack it. Hoping for two more months of nice weather (well, maybe 1 1/2)) so it will dry.
Well, cows stuff is all done and I'm home before eleven. Quads are so much quicker and easier than horses. Especially for moving them down roads and such. Get home a lot quicker than when riding a horse as well.
I'm still taking down old buildings, Rod, and the lumber that is not salvageable will get cut up for firewood. There must be close to a dozen cords of it to cut up just waiting for me and the chop saw. I build a quick and easy extension table on the left side of the saw and put a trailer to the right. Drag the board in to the stop, whack, toss, repeat endlessly. Really it takes only a short time to fill the little Datsun pickup bed trailer I use behind the quad for this. Takes more time to stack it at the storage spot. I do the cutting where the building sat as that leaves the sawdust mess where I can spread it out. A generous application of nitrogen rich fertilizer and in a couple of years all the missed nails are rusted away and the area is ready to plow and plant to grass/trees or whatever.
The quad with a spray tank mounted on the back works for fire protection and the little Honda generator gives plenty of power. Works great.
Makes me wonder how Hap finds time to go to a gym for exercise.
Wish I could get up that way for the Maltby experience, that's a good place to eat.
