Yes, getting so that stuff is not real fun. But I love the smell of fresh cut wood and the fire in the stove on these cool nights. Trees needed to come down and I like to use everything I can on the compound.

I get that. Miss having a wood burner. I'm in the same boat, shoulders are sore from working on the truck yesterday.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 52 and overcast. Getting ready to head up the mountain this morning. Might get wet today.


I put one ton of "trees" in the garage yesterday...

Howdy Dustin. In addition to blowing out your shoulder, you must have taken a pretty good crack on the noggin too if you are
getting married...???????????????????
Glad to see you are still kicking and haven't ended up on permanent KP....or have you?

Morning Jim, Evan. We have a ton of candy left over, barely any kids showed up, and the wife bought 75 full sized candy bars. I'm going to have to bring them here to work to let the vultures eat them, so I don't!

Yeah, ive had a few of those too. Only one ended with stitches! I wish at this point... new leadership has made a mess of what good we had. Im ready to be done, working with the chaplain to put pressure on an administrative move so i can reclass or get on BMM (borrowed manpower, 6 month detail like gate guard or range control) and into a transition program to get technical certs while retaining my GI bill.

Don’t get me wrong, I like being in the service. But I can’t stand this job (cav scout) or this unit.... especially if it has destroyed one joint and is working over others and my mental health (im one of many in the same situation with varying years of service) at just over 2 years in.

That’s tough Dustin. I hope it works out on your favor. I did 4 years in the Marines and ended up getting out due to a few bulging/herniated discs in my lower back due to training injuries. My command was pretty messed up for a while and some poor leadership made it very difficult to stay motivated.

Howdy all. I’m gonna be having some work done to the truck soon that I don’t want to tackle myself. I’m leaning towards taking it to the local International dealer, since International made the motor, and they’d be likely to be knowledgeable about it and use quality parts. Any reason I should go to the Ford dealer instead? Labor cost is the same.

Chasing down and fixing oil leaks. It looks like rocker box leaking on driver side, maybe glow plug harness leaking on passenger side (not sure), and possibly a front cover leak.
