The old Tundra has served us well for 20 years. We used her and abused her a bit along the way and it was time for her to retire. One of the reasons for getting a new truck is sycle has this idea for generating some retirement income milling extra long, large logs. Large logs necessitated a larger truck. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Liberty! A 2022 Ford F-350 super duty, 6.7L power stroke diesel turbo with extended cab, full-size bed, goose neck compatible, dually. Just about everywhere they go, someone makes a comment or asks sycle quesitons about her. I know he bought the right truck because everytime he parks her, he has to turn around and look at her one more time before walking away.
We’re making slow progress at the farm, but progress none the less. We have treated the logs with a solution that will prohibit mold and kill log rot fungus. It will also deter insects as well. It’s amazing the difference it made in the appearence of the logs. And when you don’t have running water, you have to tap into some of that red-neck enginerring and use a 150 tub and pump to feed the power washer.
After a week of drying, the logs look so much brighter and clean. Oh, and we had a late spring snow.
And just like that… spring has sprung.
Lots to do yet to get ready to make this place our full time home, but it already feels like home to me.
