Random pic thread.

Some friends from F3 are running the Blue Ridge Relay running race today thru tomorrow. I rode the moto up there to cheer them on. Caught up with them at Frosty’s Choose and Cut, then cheered them on at several other points up around the Todd area.

If google image look up is right that is a B61 Mack. If so that is what my dad drove in the late 50's early 60's when he started in trucking.
I know it's a B model, just didn't know the series [ B61]. I'd put it in a early 50s, by the look of the grill. Probably twin stick, Thermodine engine. Old Macks don't die, they just rust away!
 
Munchkins first soccer tournament. After a complete meltdown because he wanted his jersey to be red, he did great once we got him on the field.

Had a couple of NC4x4 encounters today. First had a visit from @shawn today to pay me my annual commission for all the clicks and ad money I bring him. The kids wanted to do the big swing in the woods, and of course us old guys couldn’t resist.

Then took the kids to the first ever Supermotocross in Charlotte. @DSM Turbos is somewhere in this pic too. We happened to be within about 50ft of each other at the race.

It wanted to drop straight across the driveway, but that was gonna take out a couple smaller healthy trees and bust up the yard.

1h15min from when I pulled up with the chipper until I stopped sawing because it was starting to rain too much. Battery saw did all of the work-up of the limbs and bucking the top down. Big saw dig the wedge cut and then decided to not cooperate, so I had to finish the cut with the little big saw. :rolleyes:
And of course had to stop for a little bit to let the boys bounce on the limbs :D

One of the exhaust flappers fell off my generator yesterday. The other one was welded on with 2 beads either side of the formed part.

Doofus that welded this one in did it on the inside of the bends, so it just stuck where it shorted. Surprised it lasted this long. The flat part with the holes was flat against the stack. You can see where it shorted and stuck.
