Not sittin’ on me dumpus
three trees down one already cut up but need new blade for saw. Hit some barbedwire buried in that oak
They aren’t going anywhere fast and I’ll get to them again soonest.
And for lack of a better place, I have two blocks sitting in Buffalo. Glad as hell she is a half-ton rear-end. Even so, she’s squated down a bit. Those beasts is HEAVY. Once the new out building is in place, I will find better locations for them. The 4.3 will be under that car-port near where Buffs nose is currently sitting. the 5.7? Dunno yet. But it won’t’be in Buffy’s bed.
Still need to unload the enJinn hoist out of Bloo. but right now,, ,BREAK TIME.
I think I earned this beer.
more laters
LLLLL!!!

Dio's Workshop 
I have a 2001 S10 Blazer 4×4 the same color, Pewter.
Swapped the 4.3 out 5 years ago for a “guesser” I bought in a junk yard for $600. Haven’t had a single problem yet.
Early March severe winds came through south-central IN. and took down (2) 100′ + white pines in our side yard and 1 got hung up in a large elm, very dangerous – too much for me and my Stihl.
Hired a dood with a cherry picker and 2 hours later problem solved.
But I now had a $3500 hole in my ass pocket.
Frankly I got better things to do with that kind of money.
Don’t remember the last time I spent that much in 1 big chunk like that.

$3500 hole in your pocket, or a $10000+ set of medical Bills: seems like a no brainer to me!
The 4.3 I have is a known runner: the frame on the DOnor truck was rotted out bad, nothing holding the rear leafs in place. I’m not certain, but I do believe this’un is under 200k. Compared to the 340K on Buffalo now, should seem like a brand new engine to me.
