    My wood cutting buddy and I cut a big honey locust this afternoon. We both ended up with a truckload from it. His old long bed f150 and my shortbed K10. Both trucks are 1980 and still earning their keep. No pics of the tree on site just my stack of rounds back at the house.

    Tell me your new without telling me your new:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:. But to be fair it does seem to get quite a bit of attention Everytime I post. I haven't been around as much the last few years but have quite a few posts here. But filtering through them for pictures might take awhile...at least for me maybe some of you more computer types might know a real easy way . I'll post some of it for ya.

    I did. I told him let's swap some out and give you some more big ones. He said it all burns. I was like OK:thumbs:. He got some as big as these and many more half these size. He likes his wood cut shorter than me so I did pick some random short ones for him from the larger diameter size rounds. I quit cutting also where it was forked and maybe 22"+ but it was laying on a hill on a slope and it was buried in the dirt. There is still a smaller truck of it that fell the other way into some other trees. I need to chain to it and snatch it out. I'll look at the last four foot or so of the stump and see if I can get it cut without digging my cain into the dirt. Then I'd need to noodle it cause I'm man enough to admit I'm not carrying 250 pounds rounds or whatever they are and putting them into that truck bed.:faint:

    I didn't see any thorns. I was on the lookout for them. There was a smaller one growing near it that I saw a few...like a few on it.

    I drove the truck around for like almost 15 years before I even knew what that show was let alone my truck was the exact same paint scheme from the show!

    :( I know life gets busy and I don't always make the time to spend on here. There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained just hanging around and reading and sharing.

    I'm not that new, just took a little hiatus for a bit. I learned to drive on a C10 3 speed with granny gear so I'm always a fan to see them stick kicking. My dad still has it, same year as me, 1987! Here’s me around 20 and a riding low load of wood going down the road around 10 years later

    Nice truck! Being a slightly lifted k10 my bumper can't get that low:rofl: :lol:. If it does I have problems with the tires or axle.

    I looked at your picture again. I have that same jacket!! Still wear it to this day! It's really faded out to a dirty cream color kind of.
