Taz I guess I'll tell you about my trucking adventure this weekend. I use to drive dump trucks occasionally for a friend who has an excavating business. Af riedn of ours was on a mission Friday night to get the last of his milo crop in before it started raining. At 9 pm I noticed he was still in the field so I jumped in the combine with him and rode a few rounds. I went with him to unload the semi and then back to the field, when it was full again he asked if I would go unload. I do have a CDl but it's a class b, not A. Anyway I have and air break and hazmat endorsment but not an endorsement for trailers, though I have drive them several times. So here it is 2 am now and thi thing is full, supposed to hold 1000 bushels, we had more like 1300 on it. Too much to cover with a tarp but only about 5 miles to go on country roads. Anyway I go over to unload and this car pulls up to ask directions to a party place somewhere, the passenger was good lookin and barely clothed. Anyway with my natural ability to flirt and so on she said hse'd never been in a semi truck before, and long story short I tool her home about noon that day. I don't know if it was me or the 400 horse Cummins but I told Craig I'd drive his truck more often.

I guess I should say the semi helped but also the 8300 John Deere and a trip in the combine helped too. Maybe I'm just good though.See ya Taz!
