Morning fellers!!!
I'm just getting caught up with my coffee pot. I was out of the house early this morning with just one coffee mug in my system.
I responded to a fire in Springfield. Total loss, but at least nobody was injured, or worse.
Not much on today's plate, but that can change pretty quick.
Hope y'all are doing well.

My weekend went well. Didn't get to go to the Junk yard with Dustin as planned, but otherwise everything else worked out as planned I think.
that was on just 2 trailers. I'm sure age had a little to do with it. My buddies 38' trailer had 2 of the blow out, it's a 2 axle 14k pound trailer and I think he is on the verge of over loaded simce he was pulling his 78 F250, and a 99 grand Cherokee. My tires looked identical to his (minor cracking) and I didn't have a single blow out... however mine is a tri axle 21k pound trailer.

Larry the race sure looks like it was fun.

Well, sold the black truck today. Sorry to see it go, but not sorry to see the payments go! Plus got more for it than I expected. Sorry can't be sad about that.

now I either need to find another truck or get the big truck back on the road. Looks like there is going to be some wrenching in my future.

I saw a big blue muddy Ford truck scrolling down my newsfeed on facebook and said "damn that looks like 77 Mud from the forums!"

With less than 25,000 miles on it in the last two years. I really couldn't keep justifying the payment on it.

That's who bought it from me. I miss that truck. Those were some good memories.
