    A friend in one of NH's 13 cities called to say a guy he knew was looking to get rid of some wood all cut up. Heck yea, and not too far away. I made three trips, a pic from each load, and the pile on the ground. With another pic showing a earlier pile in the pic also. I also have a a couple or three cords to get in the woods, once the ground firms up. I don't get many calls like this!!! Mostly Sugar Maple, a little Box Elder & Locust, and a few elm rounds. Gonna get a 4th load tomorrow. DSCN1867.JPG DSCN1868.JPG DSCN1869.JPG DSCN1870.JPG DSCN1872.JPG

    3.5 liter then. That's a good motor. Used in a lot of Ford vehicles. My mom has one in her Edge.

    In the 150's, the 3.5 has been replaced with a smaller version in a 3.3 liter, same block, different heads, and the dual port and direct injection.

    That’s a great score- a double bonus of 1) free, and 2) already cut! Life is good up in NH!

    You definitely researched the hell out of your truck if you know that info. I did the same when looking for mine but maybe just shy of you...;):p

    Ended up getting a slightly high mileage truck but the mule does it’s job. Not minding it a bit.

    I know, we're still having morning & evening fires. I am so ready to be done. I'm into processing now, not burning.

    Now that is a nice friend to give you a tip like that! Too bad you had to go to a city to get it, but it is what it is. Dang I hate going into a city... And the older I get, the more I hate it. I have going to the village near us so you can imagine when I have to go to the city. Dang, have to go to one on Monday for a meeting...

    I just got back from the fourth load to pick up the remainder. I had to bring my saw to noodle a triple trunk Maple crotch that was to heavy to lift. The remainder of today's load is mostly Elm, and Boxelder. The price is right, zero. DSCN1873.JPG

    It was not a big "city", lucky for me, we only have two of 100,000 people. The other 11 cities here would be towns in most other states. I didn't go through one single traffic light, so all in all, a very pleasent trip. And it beats going to work, for this is fun work.:yes:Hope you have a nice trip Monday Dennis!
