My dad sent lots of letters to his sister (my aunt). My cousin gave them to me after they had both died.

He would never talk about battles and death because he didn't want anyone to worry...he would tell about how beautiful the Islands were and that he would be home soon...

No matter where he was in the world, this return address in SF was on the letters and they were censored. Except when he wrote in Hungarian. Lol.

So awesome bro!

My grandmother(pregnant with my mother) got a purple heart delivered. They wrote him off as dead after being shot down in the Philippines. Crazy huh?

I might have told you this but, as a pow during the bataan death march, him and his chained budy rolled backwards off a hill while they were stopped. Almost got away. A couple months later they were recaptured and put in jap camps.
My grandpa did not like talking about it. Not one bit.

At this point I hate wood. The smell, the sap, the cutting, the splitting, the stacking.

Fuck it all. Close to 3 cords though. Should be good.

Nice saw bro!

Fire Marshall said we need to do work up at my other pad. I borrowed my brothers stihl 30".
The mother fucker just won't start. Got it in the shop. Most likely needs a new carb because of cheap gas

Thanks on the saw guys. I love it. I'd let you borrow it if we were just a tad closer @Aeroknow

And I meant to post about the BBQ. I've almost made it 2 years now. Last year highway 50 was closed in one lane on the way out to sac. Sat in traffic for an hour and turned around. Lol.

What's the date? I REALLY want to come.

ive replaced dozens of carbs on two stroke motors. started buying completely alcohol free petro and havent had to replace one in several years. the alcohol just eats those shitty plastic float needles up.

Thx bro. I''m so used to the foot controls on the bobcat. I took out part of my gate with the cat when i was first getting used to it. Pissed!
Yeah, I learned years ago not to run/keep shittier gas in my equipment. I usually only run fresh chevron gas and routinely run seafoam in it too. And I run it dry before putting away.

Picked up materials this morning then got the transit out to level off the top of the posts and notch them for the trusses. Then I spent the rest of the day making my own heavy duty trusses.
