Morning Jim.
Yeah, I recall avoiding that area during the day also. If we went south, we usually did it in the middle of the night, to avoid traffic through there!
Yea, but there's lots of downsides to living in close proximity to ten million others. The normally-nice winters draws 'em in like flies.
I don't go out as much as I once did, and then only mid-day or late evenings, just to miss the almost unbearable traffic.

We get back there during the summer, but I miss it the rest of the time.
Marge couldn't live there, not enough convenient shopping. Mall Of America is 130 miles away.

Think I'll go write a letter to my state representative, not that he would read it or pay attention anyway. They have the carbon tax fuels bill, SB 324, coming up in a House Committee tomorrow at 1500. Guess they have got to do something to raise the price of gas / diesel and help the millionaires pay for their Tesla's.

We only got 6" on this last one. on top of the 3" from before. I scraped down to bare balck top with the tractor, and heated with the salamander before the project.
I used the waterproof grease that was in the gun from greasing the skid steer. I assume it's moly base, I know ehen that crap gets on you, you have to use Dawn dish washing detergent to get it off
I agree about the 4x4 ball joints.
