What did you buy this week?

[MossRoad]

Funny story...
When my folks passed away, we knew they had purchased life insurance policies on all 5 of us. My sisters and several relatives were convinced I would have more life insurance coverage than my sisters since I was the only boy. Well..... mine was 1/2 of what they got! Why?

I told my sisters that was because they were so expensive to maintain.

Really, it was because by the time I came around, that's all they could afford. No hard feelings. I didn't expect any inheritance from my folks and the 5 of us ended up splitting a nice small estate. Very grateful for my folks and siblings.

I bought a MT21 front and D606 rear tire for the Yamaha. Good combo for mainly dirt with a little street riding.

Bought me terramite t5c. Nice for my 5 acre homestead.

We signed the papers to bring this home as an additon to the farm... YT347C. After tires are filled we are supposed to get it on 9/19.

Interesting concept, NO I didn't buy one but it is interesting. A solution for moving moderate amounts of materials.

My one ton is painfully slow, using it to transport a trailer like that wouldn’t work for me. It may be an option for larger machines, maybe with two speed tracks. I like the idea of using the bucket for dump assistance. I’m watching for an affordable dump trailer to be pulled by my tractor, but even beat up used ones go for big money around here. I currently use my RTV.

I think a set up like that would work pretty good for a one man band to pick rocks out of a open field, especially bigger rocks. Could cover about a forty foot swath with a machine that size. Would definitely want a thumb.

They're not twinkling, Clark.

They're not twinkling, Clark.

I stapled LED string lights to the bottom of the facia board around the house and up the chimney a few yrs ago. The have a little controller that does different modes and colors. Pretty cool

6 each 2x6x12 PT for form boards. Wife wants a concrete parking area. Breaking it into 3 pours of 9x20 ft. Im also in the process of realizing how out of shape I am....

6" because you are going to park Tanks on it?
PT because you are going to leave the wood in place?

Naa. Tanks require 12" PCC. Myself, I'd want 8" for a turn,twist, parking area. But that's just me.

Pressure Treated lumber for the reusable factor.

Well, 6" is the standard for anything that gets vehicles on it. Yes, sidewalk does "generally" hold up to passenger vehicles; but if you see any area where people frequently park/drive over, 4" is generally cracked up.

PT, cause its $10.40/each; vs $8.15/each not PT; and no, definitely not leaving in place. Figure, I need to reuse these for the next two pours, and whatever afterwards; not worth the trouble of saving $12
