Every time they gave the forecast here it was different, I guess they have to cover all the basis..

It's actually 12° here today but feels rather chilly if you don't keep moving, humidity is high though..

My front yard beat the crap out of me with a metal fan rake for about 2 hours, lucky for me it started to rain. The new grass seed is starting to catch and my Tulips will start opening tomorrow.

And how exciting were your days.

The last three days the weather has been awesome in the high 20`s C but now looks like that`s about to change. While it started out sunny and warm this morning now the clouds have rolled in and the wind has really picked up.

We need a lot of that, the fields around here are very wet.

It`s really easy to keep busy in this weather.

Usually manual switches give very little trouble.

There was a gas fill receiver in the deck but no signs of where the second tank was mounted, was a bad location for a fill spout so I figured that was why there was a fill spout on the side skirt of the deck.

According to the forecast I looked at it is supposed to be seasonal, low 20's. Could be windy here given the time of year. I usually don't pay much attention to the forecast just because it seems to change hourly but, the wind could be the biggest hazard to travel this time of year.

Maybe the deck came from another truck?

I usually hate wind but we really need it to dry the land, it`s getting late.

That's possible but then again there's a few acts of stupidity that were performed on this truck Morris. Have a hole in the front of the deck at the headache rack that holds the spare tire, there's a cross brace on the headache rack thats going to become a tire holder. I like my decks flat with no holes in them as it makes it easier to haul fill, loam, sand and gravel when they don't leak like a sieve.

The Calgary thought pattern,

If its not effed up, its not done right and you can't do it right if your not effed up.
