well i had to drop off papers to the bank

then i went hunting pallets for burning in the wood stove
and found the mother load eee haa

but then as i returned home and enjoyed the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s
photo bananza at S-B
i checked craig's list for free stuff
and found a free wood post

i called Jack and was off like jet off an aircraft carrier

what i found was literally amazing!!!!

here's this retired guy Named Jack Scott
who's building a barn the likes of which
i have never seen before size wise

talk about huge....its as colosall as Noah's ark
as big as 1/3 of a foot ball field

it's a non profit organization that allows disadvantaged
kids to come there and ride horses for free
instead of the current rate of $85 per hour
that most equestrian facilities charge...

luckilly, i remembered to bring the digital camera. :btu:

within say -> 2 minutes of meeting him
i was driving his four wheel drive truck
down to the barn to see some carpenters there

then a few minutes later i was driving an old wreck
of a diesel dump truck full of wood to the top of the hill

where i unloaded a huge load into the old RAVEN VAN

I now have an inexhaustible supply of horse manure
for my market garden operation
and all the slab wood i need for siding the barn come spring

check out these photos... what a score.... all free too
