Tasty Taco Tuesday morning Kentucky and crew. Yesterday was a nice day this side the border and today looks to be the same in the 50's and sun. Hope Ma Nature blesses you with the same.

Sensational Saturday morning Kentucky and crew.
Wesley looks like my place with all the mud. I need about 3 ton in the driveway to get out of the mud and 6 ton across the road.

Looks to be a better day this side the border than the Soothsayers predicted. Hope you have the same and a great start to the weekend!

Back in the 80's my brother drove a dump truck for a short time in his life, a tandum axle Ford L8000 I think. It had a 429 with a Holley 4-Barrel carb. He said the other truckers hated him when they got to a hill. It had 2 transmissions in it. It was horribly slow!

Yeah, mine was almost to the point of people having to hold up a thumb to see if I was actually moving on the highway/hills. (Truck has a 330 v8, 5 speed with a 2 speed axle.)

If you JUST have the expectations of "Well, it got here." then you'll not be disappointed.


I REALLY want to either swap a 5.9 or 7.3 in it and be done.

I totally understand. Our M817 6X6 dump goes about 50MPH, wide open and down hill. The M35A2 goes a whopping 56MPH, down hill with a tail wind.
(Both are down with brake issues at the moment.

It dusted us last night, but 90% of it melted off by this morning.

Cold out today though so I'm hiding inside.

Morning Kentucky and Wesley. Out dusting left early in the morning as well and reached 30° with some sun.
Starting today at 13° but headed to 50° according to the soothsayers!
Have a great Taco Tuesday!

Not bad here, Rod. Luckily, we didn't get the huge rain that was predicted this week. We got plenty, but not the flooding we could have.

I really love fall and winter but am looking forward to spring and summer this year. The last two years have been quite boring here.
