What did YOU do today?

Green wood smokes too until it gets hot enough. Some of the burn laws are a tad ridiculous. Around here we can’t burn on Sunday and we have to have a burn permit for anything other than a “cooking fire”

So all you need to burn brush pile is a pack of hot dogs and a really long roasting stick?

Pretty much.

I keep a pack around even though I don’t cook them.

The other option is to call the township and tell them you’re going to be burning. They got really annoyed at us when we were clearing the property because we usually had 3-4 fires going at once with like 6 of us cutting stuff and tending the fires. We got told only one fire at a time and we had to call for a burn permit so we called every day for like a month straight and they finally told us to leave them alone, lol

Any thoughts on what to try on my replacement seat that wont damage the fabric?

Puracy enzyme cleaner, a steamer, and wet vac. Use a spray bottle and let the enzyme cleaner work for several hours. Really saturate the seat. It'll remove everything. If you want to scrub the seat you can, but I just spray that stuff on my pants after I've been working on my truck and it pulls all the oil out after I toss it in the wash. Use the steamer to pull out the Puracy and vacuum it up.

Yesterday I got a pile of new steering parts for a couple trucks and finally got my gear oil bucket pump that they were having a problem billing out because it was on back order for so long that the part number wouldn’t come up in the system.

This weekend had other plans for me than I intended, spent most of it cutting down and blocking up 4 pine trees that either had fallen down or were going to fall down. Now I've got a large pile of branches to figure out what to do with. Cheap truck earned its keep though, haha.

I swapped a ZF5 in mine. Had a bunch of people tell me to go 4-speed but the ZF5 has a creeper 1st and OD. I venture onto the highway enough to want the extra top end gear

The 4sps do kinda suck on the highway. But they are fun to shift with that mile long throw and yardstick shifter.

Mine has an E-series shift stub and a custom bent up shifter out of 5/8” rebar, lol. Kinda would like to do the same thing to the ZF5 in my F-350

The cheap truck really has the classic 80's vibe going with the brush guard, bed bar (I can't bring myself to say roll bar) and the Lund visor.
