You know what i love?

Owning two acres of ravine wasteland, plus my flat yard where the house sits, free rocks and dirt are like gold here. Hoping to get the above via the street dept, and the neighbor's pond a block north has brown clay but it's free dirt, fill. I still need 2020 derecho fence, etc damage repaired, wind and rain pushed 6' high welded wire fencing several feet over the edge. The 30-minute May hailstorm roof claim adjustor comes next Friday.

You both can keep your commie comments to yourself

If Putin's body was under that pile with a hand and foot sticking out we would have a better idea of its size. Do you know what the previous life of this concrete was, some of it looks damn thick?

Hopefully I won't have to bust much up. Wish I had a job crane.

Looks like a pile of work but a good maul hammer and your son should make it manageable quickly.

I love free stuff, especially when it's just what I need.

My son works for a concrete company, I need rip rap for the pond bank. Their wash out and other scrap concrete they usually haul to a 'stone' maker where they crush and reuse to make artificial rocks. But they really don't care where the stuff goes as it's otherwise landfill for it. So he's bringing home truckloads of scrap concrete in somewhat manageable sized pieces. Got about 6 tons so far and another 6 coming over the weekend.

Now onto the You Know What I Hate thread for the rock pile work.....

I probably could. The live Fight Radar showed the plane registration, it's how I knew it was a F51 and not a P51.

UndergroundFarmer That is a stock photo not the actual plane.

[Gingerbeard]

But do any of you know the name of the pilot?

[UndergroundFarmer]

This one is sporting invasion stripes from Operation Overlord.

Apparently the last piston engine plane used before the jets came on the scene in the Korean War.

The public mostly remembers the North American P-51 Mustang as the fighter plane that protected Allied bombers over Germany and Japan during World War II. Overshadowed by newer jet fighters by the time war broke out in Korea in 1950, the re-designated F-51’s relative technological backwardness became a qualified blessing for close air support and battlefield interdiction sorties against the Korean People’s Army.

Warren Thompson’s new book F-51 Mustang Units of the Korean Warfocuses on the veteran fighter’s role in Korea, and also exposes the plane’s little-known history with Australia, South Africa and the Republic of Korea.

Er, I think it is a P51 Mustang, but not sure. Super charged gasoline power, that sound is hard to beat in an aircraft engine.

Had one of these fly overhead today at about 8k ft. What a sweet sounding engine.... F51D Mustang fighter/bomber
