Title: NSR: stuff you've carried home
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on April 27, 2024, 12:59:54 PM
I was out this morning with the pup and craned my neck up to gaze at this birch tree in the corner of our front yard.
It still gives me a kick in the pants to think that I brought this triple trunked birch (burlap covered root-ball and all) home from Lowe's in my VW bus after we bought the house.
It is the largest owner planted tree, by far, in the neighborhood! I planted trees all round the house - now I have no one but myself to blame, or to rake, in the fall!

I'm not sure I'd do it again, but hey~....you only go around once!

What's the biggest thing you've ever carried home?

Maybe not the biggest, but the wife & I once brought an owl back on the Triumph!  Long story short it was a Tawny Owlet the parents had thrown out of the nest. We kept it until it started flying then one afternoon it didn’t return home. I tell myself it found another owl 🦉 and better things to do!

a package of honey bees in a Stanley Fat Max tool box bungeed to the back of my V-Strom, 75 miles from my bee supplier to home, and a few hobo bees tagged along for the ride (probably assimilated to the queen I had in my pocket)

When I started this thread - the first one I thought of was old randyo.
I just knew he was coming with something really weird...like a pair of sheep, a half a tractor or a garden plot on the back of his bike!

"...the queen in my pocket"!!

Thanks randy!
