Either that, or he's hoarding them.

Should have seen it about a month before. I was collecting every yellow tree since I bought the truck. I had at least 50 on the mirror. Decided to cut them off before my mirror fell off.

You load a skid steer backward because of the weight distribution of the machine. With just a bucket on they are very rear end heavy, by backing on you limit the chance of tipping. Every skid steer training video will tell you to back up any kind of slope. With out a bucket on, on some smaller skid steers you can actually lift the front end of the ground that is how much rear weight they have. I worked for bobcat at on point this is were I got this info from.

I once saw a semi truck that had about 200 of those trees in the black ice variety. Had them hanging from everywhere.

That... is what you do when you have a really funny video but it won't embed and the host site has too many site violations to post a direct link. Unfortunately, it gets misinterpreted by some individuals who would then erroneously assume I was deceased and began to divvy up my personal belongings while I sat by and watched. Just remember, I know who you are.

It was just the overwhelming sadness and shock of thinking something might have happend to you. We simply wanted some items to be able to remember you by. Uh, you sure you are ok?

Now you are taking up for the rats? All this time I believed what you posted and thought you were genuinely concerned. I'm soooo disappointed.

But since you asked.... I may be better than fine. Out of the blue yesterday I passed another large chunk of kidney stone. Maybe I just got lucky. I guess that will be my consolation for not winning the lottery last month.

I wish but it was brown like the rest. If it saves me another round of lithotripsy I'll call it golden.
