Oh boy am I excited! They even dropped it off for me at a friend's house for free since my trailer had a minor melt down yesterday (apparently the white wire does not hook up to that one). Just signed some things for the driver and that was it. Almost too easy without even an exchange of a dollar.

Barnett had a pretty big one week sale last month to push some metal out the door. They sold 35 cuts in that one week and of course there was probably only 15 on the lot. Needless to say, it has been a bit of a zoo there and my box blade, brush mower and work lights sort of disappeared. They promised them very cheap when they arrive in a few weeks.

I've already knocked a few trees down. 2 hours on the clock now. The whole thing came to $24,100 including the 0% fee, JD insurance and our lovely 8% Washington State sales tax.

Just got done putting a few more hours on it. I'm knocking alders down like crazy. I'm picking them up after I knock them down and stacking them up. I'm able to grab big hunks of black berries too and rip away.

I do feel a little tippy sometimes when a tire goes in a hole. I may be over worried, but I think I'd like to get one of those tilt meter things. At what degree does it start to become a concern?

I guess I'll have to read those books that came with it.

You've got lots of cool stuff Grizz. Where do I get that fuel caddy thing and how does it work? I was thinking today that she'll need fuel sooner or later and I've got nothing to get it in. It seems like a tough spot to try to get fuel into without spilling and that set up would work great.

Nice boat too.
