Farmers might give up if it gets bad enough Gerry...when all hope is gone. It`s been a very hot summer and I`ve heard the there was little to no rain in parts of Southern Sk.
Hello Grant, Perry and John.
How long was your power out John?
Tomorrow is Thursday but it`ll be my fry day on the trail if there`s no clouds as it hits that 34 C.

6 hours is quite a long time John, usually our`s is out for less than a couple of hrs.
I`d be so very glad to get some rain Gerry.

Good evening gents

Its going to be a balmy 33 out here tomorrow Morris

So, I decided to play musical tires with the truck so that my front tires match, still haven't changed the tire that needed changing. Had my tires out and decided to take a break when I noticed that there were 3 broken studs on the passenger side duallies. good thing that I have a parts truck as the stud hub was stripped and couldn't hold a stud. The PO had tack welded them to the drum and the tacks broke. Have the parts all stripped off and the parts truck is put back together but I need to buy an inner seal and bearing to put truck back together, then I can change the tire that was going to be changed originally.

So, Ontario Hydro is learning to maintain blackouts John

Good evening Perry.
It`s going to be around 33 C here too.
Sometimes you just have to wonder about what the PO was thinking.

The PO mounted 16" tires on 16.5 split rims, lots of geniuses out this way.

I didn`t think mounting 16'' tires on 16.5'' rims was possible.

I was sure of that to as thats an easy way to blow yer face off, but I showed them to the Italian guy at good tire and the just shook his head and laughed, cursed some cowboys also. Theres a guy out by Conrich that breaks down RVs and he has a bunch of 1 piece rims and tires and hopefully they're good, another $6 - 700 out for rear tires, but its safer than running on "boomers", its what the tire guy calls them. Its next to impossible to get 16.5s around here.
