You must be rich. That must be 20k$ worth of lumber. :)
Just look at the name he has......He's loaded! ??

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.
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.

The hybrid maverick is a great combo. A blend of functionality and effeciency.

Followup to my previous post. The actual dumping of the home heating oil (off-road diesel). This always feels like I am literally pumping money into the underground tank to then set it on fire. Sure wish I had electric heat. ?

Installed some Morimoto side markers, the elusive engine cover I picked up at a dealership an hour away from work (?????) but still waiting for the nuts and studs to mount it to the top of the engine ?.

installed the rain deflectors too.

Did nothing with Ranger I don’t have.
Some days ago second time engine light lit. Barely made it away from traffic to dealer’s parking lot.
