Good day = free oak!

[Roundgunner]

Got this big oak from across the street today and the tree guys said they will drop more on my back driveway when they are up this way.



It cost me 5 minutes of snow removal with my Kubota and 3 cups of coffee. I think it will split up to about 2+ cord

Nice....

Damn. Im surprised you found such a sweet deal in CT. So many people burn around here most of the tree guys I know sell their good wood as firewood.

Thats how to do it.

Free oak is good and free oak in Connecticut is even better! And about your avatar; my wife loves it! She was standing behind me when I was looking at you post. She likes it because she has a long history of running the Flying Pig Marathon every May in Cincinnati.

Not what I call a big oak but certainly a nice one! Good for you.

I grew up in Ohio and remember big oaks, around here more maple and pine than anything. It is a pretty tall oak. It was leaning way over the garage, I wouldn't have ever tried to do it.

Those guys work cheap. No doughnuts?

 

[Roundgunner]

Getting some of this home and stacked. Those 8 footers are heavy! I'm guessing 1000 lbs on a couple of them.





My mother in law (who's house is being heated with our boiler also) says haven't you got enough wood already? I told her wood I like money, you never have enough.

SWEET.
Sorry for the side track. Back to our regularly scheduled program "as the wood turns".

That Jeepster is NICEEEEE

The Jeepster with my Dad and Sister visiting in Florida last fall.

 

[Razo]

Looks like its a blast to drive

 

[Roundgunner]

It is a nice driver, 351 ford, 9 inch rear, trans and steering from a old mustang, seats from a T bird. It is a hodge podge that came together well, like all old Jeeps. This one drove back and forth to Arizona a couple times and Fla once but it is set up for parades. Flag holes everywhere.

This is a 83 CJ7 with Chevy running gear, 350, turbo 350 etc...
Proposed to my wife in this one in the mountains of Colorado.

Very nice, I'm a huge Jeep enthusiast myself. Awesome to see the old CJ out in the wild! I'm working on building a Cherokee (far from a classic like your Jeeps) at the moment. The rears are finished, 8-lug Dana 44 up front and full float Dana 60 in the rear with an ARB air locker. I'll be keeping the drivetrain stock due to lack of funds haha.
