It\'s a long story as to why it is there and I\'m not going into the reasons here. When I arrived the truck was wedged onto a tree stump and despite previous efforts the truck wouldn\'t move backwards or forwards. Together with the use of a splitting axe, tree wedge and chainsaw we managed to remove the stump. We need to get the truck started and that requires charging the battery. Hopefully the battery isn\'t too far gone to hold a charge.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gallery {\"linkTo\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":7795,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ten-wheelerMay23-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7795\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":7792,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/SMc-removing-stumpMay23-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7792\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":7793,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/tree-stump-removalMay23-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7793\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":7794,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/tree-stump-removedMay23-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7794\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></figure>\n<!-- /wp:gallery -->', 'High Horse Day 1', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '7790-revision-v1', '', '', '2023-05-30 01:19:24', '2023-05-30 00:19:24', '', 7790, 'https://pigyard.com/wordpress/?p=7796', 0, 'revision', '', 0),
