Joe, that's a whole lot of ugly stuff in there. Any chance you want to give one of the neighborhood kids $20 to sort out a few shippable pieces and box them up to send at my expense?

I'm 13 miles east of the last boonie bush, 1/4 of a Mile from being in New Mexico 21 miles out of town my friend, there are no neighbors to speak of so tell me what you want and I'll gather it up, name your price and if my fur babies think it's a good price ( depends on how much kitty food it will buy, up to the kitties, not me, i just do their bidding ) then we're good !

Duly noted. Hard to say without knowing sizes but I’m happy to pay whatever the shipping is for reasonably sized pieces (shippable dimensions & weight). Marked a few examples of possible fits but some may be too big. Is that a piece of fake cholla mixed in there! Let me know what number the feline committee feels is worth their time. 4-5 total chunks should do. IMG_4281.jpeg

Nope real Cholla, several pieces in the pile, after my bride passed away and I was coming home after being in Phoenix for a number years with my girl sick, one of my boys brought his bobcat over and we just scooped it all up and put it in his dump truck and dumped here by my wellhouse, it's been there 10 years now, I'll look at what you have circled but they are a lot bigger than you think my friend !
And I'm only doing flat rate boxes my friend, I don't have the time or inclination to be trying to pack up big boxes, manhandling them here or taking them 20 miles to town and handling them when there, sorry but at 77 I'm not going to do that.
Now if you want, come load all you want, I can weigh it at $5 a pound and I'll wish you well and I won't have a sore back as I watch you head home !
Sorry bud, I'm just a set in my ways, mean old cuss.

Well, you’ve got me by 30 years and my back & patience dictate quite a bit already. Sorry to hear about your wife passing. I’m officially picturing you as Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven tucked out in the Wild West just trying not to shoot people lol. The pile doesn’t have a point of reference for size so I was afraid those might be too big. Whenever you get around to it (or that cats start pulling their weight) I’m happy to check out whatever you come across. In the meantime, if I’m ever moseying around in the desert with a flat bed, bobcat and extra time, you’ll be my second call. The first would be to someone I trust not to ask any questions how I ended up out there for an alibi.

Not Clint but I'm guessing some folks might say ( just about ) I guess the pistol in the holster on the dash of my old Ford wood truck and the rifle just inside the front door of the house might give someone that impression but not really, just an old man that spent some time in the 60s overseas and kind of set in my ways.
It's not that I don't like people, I just don't like people! If that makes any sense to you.

As soon as this dang wind quits,( from my lips to God's ears ) I'll do some looking in the pile and see if I can't find some that won't put me in a back brace to pack for you.

You as well. 0861, Forward Observer. Worked a lot with the Navy under ANGLICO and spent some time in Coronado. For those who haven’t fired a 50 cal, it’s just a touch more kick than hickory on a lathe! You guys melted some barrels I’m sure.
