That describes anything which doesn't have a dump body and at least 2 ton payload...

Yea I don’t understand all the hate for the wimpy pickups like that. Like a regular bed pickup is such a heavy duty hauler.

We have no for masks at the hospital and the only difference is across the top is a peel and stick adhesive strip... in essence glued to the skin.

Similar can be had with medical tape over a regular mask...

Some find the no fog great and others uncomfortable.

I go through boxes each morning... especially for ophthalmology patients because they minimize fogging the microscope...

The N95 also do a good job but the ties put a lot more pressure on the face... also can be an issue when wearing all day...

You have to ware glasses like I do? I cant tape a mask on cause when I put Add-Flo welding hood on or half-face respirator, the mask needs to come of but has to be put back on to go get welding wire, on off on off on off...... Maybe whats needed is Star Wars helmets.

And you cant use your grandfather's license, you'll have to get retested again, I have a free wheelbarrow coarse to get retrained in wheelbarrow steering just bring your own wheelbarrow....

Got some tractor and wood pics today.

We had a 22" Red Maple die during the drought late this summer. It wasn't very far in off the road and had a pretty good lean back towards the road and power line. I figured it would be best to cut it while the wood was still sound and before it caused any trouble. I put a snatch block in the woods and used the winch to pull the tree over away from the road and against the lean. You can just barely see the orange snatch block on that White Birch it straddled when it came down. I set the choker up as high as I could reach from the top step of an 8' step ladder. Since the tree was dead I made the back cut good and high so there would be plenty to lever against when the hinge broke early.



Winched it out into into a 3 log hitch.



Moved the tractor up and winched the hitch around in a big turn to get it headed right.



Skidded it home down the road about a 1/4 mile. Once the butts were lifted it didn't tear up the road.



Added it to the firewood pile.

Interesting video. The two biggest things I took away from it was that I'm going to continue sharpening at every fillup; and based on his prices, I'm paying way too much for my Oregon chains.
