Tractors and wood! Show your pics

My boy told me that he and the neighbor kid have been drinking creek water lately, which I emphatically said NOT TO DO. Then I looked a little farther upstream and found this last night.....

Bridge came out good !!

Looks like someone dragged a deer across right there and lost a bit of loose innards ?? Probably good advise to your boys ! We used to drink anything being totally naive about germs, bacteria, and protozoa. People know more now.

What kinda red neck measurement is that... Sounds like a Rick cord to me............

Yes yes yes I had another problem, last winter while cutting wood I got so tired of the Echo oil cap coming off hard all the time and having to need a wrench to take it off when the cap was only hand tight to begin with, I decided to not tighten it down so much on next refill. That worked great, no leaking around cap after filling so did it again that way on next refill, after 10 minutes of cutting wood I had oil soaked paints, brand new paints and there the cap was just dangling off the saw, dont have this problem with flip caps, tight is right and loose is easy...........

So what were you cutting that was painted?

I resent you using my name in that context.

That sounds like a good sized wood pile to me...

Rick is the guy who has firewood measurement's all over the place instead of the standard 4x4x8 or 4x8, you must be related:laughing

I was painting the air blue at the time all the oil dumped on my brandy new punts.........

I don't need to measure firewood. I don't buy it or sell it, I just cut it and use it is all... 128q ft

What the heck, I'll do one more update on my bridge project, since I got her operational yesterday. Was satisfying to go re-open all my trails on the other side and cruise around the woods. Probably pissed off some poaching bow hunters on adjacent parcels, but they can pound sand.

Oh and yes OldPath, decking is recycled 2x6 treated lumber. My folks got sick of refinishing their deck every few years and hired a crew to replace with trex, so I salvaged it. The wood is pretty solid but we'll see how many years I get out of it. I'm going to paint it all brown again if I can get another warm dry day soon.

The first drive across with a full loader bucket was a little scary. But this is about my maximum load (~5200 lbs?), so the stress test is a solid PASS. Woot.

My other kiddo (future helper) likes to throw leaves into the creek.

My boy told me that he and the neighbor kid have been drinking creek water lately, which I emphatically said NOT TO DO.

Your bridge looks great thanks for showing it, I was going to make mine like yours but opt for the harder way. You might be running out of warm days fast for painting but with PT wood you have some time to work with. What a cute kid, you two take a great picture and NO NO NO never drink standing water, can get really sick from that.......

I really like this picture so I'm saving it to my collection, the tractor looks about the same as my L3400......
