    Sharpened the chain that got pulled up at the upper wood pile. That thing was filthy. Needed a couple cycles in the ultrasonic to get the junk off. Wish I had won some of that moonshine in the raffle. :rofl: :lol:

    I wished that I had an outdoor pizza oven at my house, Scotty has the best pizza and Tim's no slouch either on the chicken.
    Brian when you said you didn't know or want to know how Tim cooks his chicken I can tell you.......... IT'S LOVE and years of experience!:D That's why it's so good.

    Yup, sure appreciate all the work that goes into this GTG, especially for the locals, but it's worth it, it's a good one!
    Such a great place to have it...pretty cool that's it's mutually beneficial too! :thumbs::handshake:

    I went to Bridgeville Pa on March 13 to buy the dump truck. Hopefully I paid the last toll this week. One toll had a $5 late fee wtf! I never got a first one. I wonder how many millions they make by conveniently mailing them after the past due date. Wv and Pa have camera toll land mines all over those biches.
    I picked a no toll route to Altoona. Jeff liked the country backroads but it wasn’t the easiest route for driving a dump truck. Almost smushed 3 horse and buggy’s.
