My truck in rare form (actually doing work?)





I'm not sure how many yards I got in there, but with the air bags filled up she was still a little squatty.

Way to go! I did similar work on my flat deck, with topsoil and sand loads, but the homemade wooden sideboards were so ugly I just couldn't get out the camera. And I dunno either how much weight I took on each load, several buckets of the little skid-steer, but the airbags with about 60psi held it about level, as opposed to a little high in back empty.

Looks like 2.5-3 ish. Once I put 5.5 cyds into a 01 shortbed chevy, used plywood sides and mounded it 2 ft higher than the cab. I won't ever do it again.

Imagine that, a pickup used to pick up something.
Somewhere, I have a photo of my old 81 with a load of horse poo parked in front of city hall during an election. No I wasn't making a statement, just dropped in to vote on the way and someone snapped the picture

That's pretty funny.

You know what else is funny? Buying mulch in bags at home depot.

Wonder how many bags I've got back there for $40?
