Hello everyone:

Yesterday's storm only drizzled on me here in Stratford.

Have a nice day.

Yea on the way home I thought it looked like God was welding something in Cheshire, lots of lightning!

I'm not surprised you see my old truck, the guy who bought it is less than a half mile from Ray's shop

well the day ruiners (DOT) got us this morning... with a level 1 inspection and somehow we were 3200 lbs overweight. We were only doing a 21 round, and had about 7 bobcat buckets of sand in the back but the sand was also wet which probably screwed us into a ticket. Last time they got us we were doing a 27 round, lots of sand, and were only 500 lbs overweight.

Didn't see much evidence of yesterday's storm out in Madison. Not any branches down really.

Midstate Tractor tried to tell Mark that the old Scag needed a hydro because it was leaking. We proceeded to take the fan off it this afternoon and would ya look at that.... 2 loose bolts on the cover.

Would've been nice if they could've actually checked to see what was wrong with the thing before they told us it needed a $600 hydro...

I dont know if you are familiar with it but on 91S right before exit 23 there is this little concrete pull off that looks like an on ramp but isnt, and he pulled us over on the highway and made us back up it

Interesting, I do vehicle inspections at work for the Hazmat shipments. We check everything because the consequences are too great for a permitted shipment - like no more permits to ship....
