I belong to a township commission that planted trees in April. With this heat and dryness now, those trees show signs of shifting into "emergency shut-down" mode. I asked for members to take a bucket and throw some water where those trees are. All of them are close to a pond. Nobody came to...

Pulled a tree off the roof of my house after it fell over and pressed against the roof, several windows, and threatened to smash two A/C units if I cut it with a chain saw. With the help of my Deuce, I pulled the tree off the roof without causing any more damage than the original fall had...

I picked up the wood that was used to build a wheelchair ramp of about 30 ft in total length. The family that had it had already taken the ramp apart when I saw it. They told me on the phone it would take two pick-up trucks to haul all of that wood away. I was glad I had the Deuce because...

Cantregister, I priced out a necessary re-landscaping job at my home in PA. The total cost just about knocked me off my perch. I bought a Deuce instead figuring it's cheaper to get dirt and plants myself than to have someone else do it for me - and in the end I still have the truck. Once you...

Went on an extended neighborhood recon mission right after that torrential downpour last night. About 1/3 of the road I live on was under water on each side. Only the center third was still above water. Didn't want to take the car out so I started the Deuce up. Had to try unexpectedly long...

Just identified another good use: Left the house in light rain earlier today. Saw a sparrow fly under the bed and take cover from the rain. Came back in heavy rain a few minutes ago. Saw same sparrow (or maybe it was the mate of the first one) land under the Deuce and take cover. Fully expect...

Some recent additions to my list: - hauled a truck load of horse manure from a farm to my place (to be used in the garden later) - picked up a load of pallets (future firewood and fence-repair wood) - bought several 55 gal drums that had been used only once, and took them home

Here's a first for me: The rear tires cut nice grooves into the now smaller vehicles can follow. The plows came late through my neighborhood this week.

Picking up dirt, hauling it home, spreading it where needed. Pciking up large orders of dog and cat food. "Mulching" sticks and small branches. Delivering donations to Military Order of Purple Heart. Every trip to the Home Depot even it's just for a toilet tank flapper ($3.95 last week) 'cause...

The wood pile near the house had gotten pretty big. I "deuced" it to make it smaller.
