I saw that pic that is a load carrying tractor, or basically a truck and tractor put together for offroad use. It would be carrying dry stuff like lime, fertilizer(granulated, non- natural based)and other stuff.

Any chance you can get us a picture of one sitting upright, Jake? I'm still having trouble figuring out what that thing is.

Thanks.

I spent today moving all the equipment for the store out of storage and into a space right next door to our store, and man and I tired. Tonight will probably be an early one for me.

The enginner that was hosting the meeting presents a slide show of data for the past three years and at the end of it we had a Q&A session. The plant manager asks, "Do you have the minutes from last meeting?", to which the engineer responds, "Yeah, let me pull that up". He minimizes the Powerpoint presentation and starts going through folders on his laptop looking for this document. While he's doing this, we can all see the contents of his laptop up on the screen. He opens some folder and all of the sudden all of these thumbnails open up and are on the screen.

His wife....butt *** naked. I recognized her from the picnic last summer.

Everyone was like

She looked pretty good too.....

I bet he's in HR right now.
Thats hilarious Scott!
