What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

Me an the 4g saw santa testing out a new red tesla in traffic. I wanted a better pic than side mirror but couldn't risk making him mad this close to Christmas.

That and funeral processions are usually like 15-20 mph. lol

On my way to work. People are hustling to get to work in the mornings so they shouldn't do speed traps then.

You must be rich. That must be 20k$ worth of lumber.

And he is just throwing it away!!!

Agreed - who doesn’t like free fuel? However, that’s all pressure treated lumber. ?

If that is home grade treated lumber the only issue in burning it is copper deposit. i.e. copper oxide and later on copper salts. This stuff also happens to be essential plant micro-nutrient but too much of it will kill the plants and copper poison the area for centuries.

If it's old commercial grade (e.g. railroad) stuff it will create arsenic and kill you. But I don't think that the old stuff is manufactured even anymore, at least not in EU.

It’s basic North American pressure treated deck and fencing lumber from 15 or 20 years ago. Almost certainly treated with Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA). Burning it will release its copper, chromium, and arsenic - nasty.

Just look at the name he has......He's loaded! ??

Actually, that’s a Ford Dealership owner each time a $40,000 market-adjusted Maverick is sold.

2003-2004 seems to be the cut of year for CCA for residentials across the western countries (except New Zealand which still uses it). So it would fall in the upper part of that 15-20 year range. Nasty poisonous and carcinogenic stuff, hope you wore disposable gloves when handling it.

Nowdays it seems to be CC for industrial and C for residential.

I parked next to a maverick.

If I was rich (i.e, if I didn't buy everything I see on this forum) I wouldn't mind having the hybrid Maverick for running around town and for those smaller dump runs. I see it now ... Soupie & Soupie Jr. Dump Runners, Inc. =)

$187 of off-road diesel needed to heat my house. Off-road diesel prices have just fallen over the last couple days and I had to take advantage. Prices were around $4.50/gal and I filled up this 50gal tank for $3.74/gal!! A relative bargain. My landlord let me borrow his tank & pump setup and I picked this up on the way to work because prices may be higher after work.

My furnace uses 1.25 gal/hour. Other than that, I have a couple space heaters. Before my Ranger, I filled up 7 five gallon tanks in the back of my Corolla. This method is FAR easier and probably safer.

Also, boy the truck rides like a Rolls Royce with this 400lbs in the back!!

Can't you use a funeral flag to beat it? Oh, the magnet won't stick to the hood!?

VASCAR so I’m gonna fight it and try to get it dropped. I was over the limit but not by as much as the cop said I was.

Yup, same thing happened to me, I appealed, the hearing was a scene from Alice's Restaurant!
