This! I learned my lesson in '08 and stacked up deep these past 4 years. Not that I didn't have a good supply then but saw the writing on the wall this time better. But to be fair ammo wasn't as crazy then as it is now with all these new gun owners and people wanting needing to protect themselves more now than ever before. Been seeing 9mm for around 0.38-0,40/round while still high it's better than a year ago when it was double.
We've had some Obama inspired shortages and price gouging up here too. The was allot of empty shelves for a long time.

Nothing to do with my Ranger, but look what was delivered while I wasn't paying attention. Time to get to play work for the day.

Or at least they weren't expected to have anything to do with the Ranger.

Although it was flat solid ground I run my tractor across, the skid steer sank when I go within a few feet of the reed hidden pond. I stopped as soon as it started to lean, another few feet and it was going over. Ranger and Warn 12S saved the day, and wireless winch controller made it a solo operation. Truck in neutral, dead-man brake, me driving the bobcat and working the winch = AWESOME!

I never think to get photos of the before or during, because when my phones comes out near mud, it generally gets in the mud, lol.

Here's the scars.

I had six stumps and I got five finished before I was too wore out to finish. I don't think I'll rent one again, I'm sore all over from it. A small stump took 30 min, the rest around an hr each. Yep, it fits great, just need two people to load and unload, it weights around 250lbs.

Got back from our little camping trip today, truck did great. Averaged 16mpg after 760 miles through some up and down Idaho passes. Had the truck loaded with a large RTT that sits over the cab, a 4 bike vertical bike rack with 2 e-MTBs and 2 kids MTBs. My family of 4 and our German Shepard, all our camping and biking gear, and dog kennel. I also had some Yokohama MTs installed right before so I’m sure they added some rolling resistance over the stock General Grabbers. It was a good trip.

I took it back this morning and the guy told me that the blade was wore out. So, I'd say that was one reason it was a pain. Kind of pissed me off, it should have been changed before I got it, but oh well.

Thank god I’m a country boy! Only way I’m driving into Boston is if I’m on a bender. They drive like crazy people in the city, you know, Massachusetts drivers!
Has anyone heard Rick @Trigganometry singing this song on his way home from Boston? ? ? :LOL:
