    Pictures of your chipper truck, lets see them!

    Here is my estimate truck. It hauls me! At 70 miles per gallon!! It can also haul my climbing gear and a hand saw in a pinch. Compared to 7.3 liters of consumption it took me 5000 mile to pay for the bike simply in gas savings. That doesn't even take into account the saved wear and tear on...

    Will You be taking advantage of the 179 tax code incentives before the end of this year ?

    I left for Germany after college. Grew up in Germany as a boy ( first four years of school). After college I decided to head back over there cuz of the wall situation. I had dual citizenship due to my childhood years there with German parents.

    Sorry you are bidding work for those people. No offense to them, but if they need a big truck to take you seriously, that is their problem. I do still estimate for people like that on occasion, but in the end I can't compete with "cousins or uncles". You know, in the end it is not what you...

    I am 6'3". I get in and out ok. Yes it is harder to stand up out of a vehicle than to slide down out of my ranger or the ford f series'. It is also harder for me to get my ass to yoga than it is to slump down on the couch and watch mindless TV.

    I have thought about Tomo and resitograph and they are good points but I am certain what they will show me. A completely intact solid trunk. The problem is not inside. It is the rotting root buttresses and what I can envision is happening to the supporting root zone in the ground below those...
