It's alright. I'm like 27 hours drive time from you. More like 20 or so if I'm in the SD and I know there's a pretty girl at the other end.

Sounds like a great place. When J-L and I go to LA for the 4th of July we'll have to make it a road trip!

Ok.
I'll go load the dozer up and be over there in a while. I'm sure I'll win. You didn't say anything about TRUCK pull-off.

And don't try any funny business with a tractor. I'll just load up a bigger dozer in that case.

Big ol Cummins + single grousers + 73,000 pounds total weight = pulling Jake from WI to CT and back. It'd take a while though...
