When I worked for the company that I pulled the tanks for there was a guy who unhooked the hose with the tank pressurized still. I wish I could've been there to see it. It was a really fine powdery lime stuff and the hose plugged up, the guy thought he'd unhook the hose to unclog it. lol. I guess a quarter to a third of the load blew out EVERYWHERE.

Yeh...while the trailer I usually use is mine, the other two are split between me and my dad...they don't get whored out, so we know what we've got. I have borrowed/rented/stolen other trailers at times and it's always a crapshoot if it's going to work or not. It's a shame that if you pay your broker a trailer use percentage on top of the normal finder's fee, that they can't keep their shit in top notch shape. And it's always your ass when something goes wrong, even though it's the fault of their equipment.

Gah...that's why I'll never ever go near a pneumatic tanker again.

Isn't Rush Limbaw on the satellite radio yet?

We got about 12-14" of the 24" predicted, but it was enough nonetheless... The 3 daylight pics are out at my dad's house...and if you look just to the left of the light pole in the first pic you can see the tracks I made baja'in through the hay field. The night time pic is of IL rt. 89 about a mile north of town here, barely enough room to get my pickup through. Yay. On the upside, I took the backhoe around town, $100/hr, $50/min.

One sunny day in January, 2013 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and Meet with President Obama." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay", and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanked him and, again, just walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama" The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?" The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it." The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."

Ha...a bit? We're starin down the barrel of 20-24".

Just get the motor as clean as possible, let it dry, then find a dusty field and drive around in it for a bit with the engine fan on. You'll find leaks you never knew you had.

Probably all of the above. But I bet if cars were held to the same equipment standards we are, there'd be a few less accidents.

Gah...that's horrible. First time I rode with my g/f and she stopped on a 2-lane road to turn left with the wheels cranked I freaked out...and I cringe every time I see someone else doing it.

Perrrfecto!

Will do. We might be back down there next tuesday, I think.

I bet I've asked before...but I gotta ask you what that military base-like place is west of Hanna City on 116. Looks to be an old radar site? Me, my brother and my dad each hauled a gooseneck full of calves and cows down to the Fairview sale barn. Maybe for next time you could recommend a good off the wall place to stop for lunch.

If, after setting the trailer brakes, did you nudge the tractor backwards to make sure the kingpin on the trailer is up against the front of the 5th wheel? Takes the load off the jaws so they pop easier.

That's why I pay the tax lady a nominal fee. I'm the horse shittiest book keeper that I know.

I was scared to look, since they made the army all SUPER and gay friendly and what not...

And to the original post, there was a news story a while back about how some guy was trolling facespace or mybook etc...ended up robbing a bunch of houses while people were all on vacation and he did this because EVERY ONE of those people had it on there that they'd be gone for x-amount of time, all in the same week. Had I been the judge in those cases, I'd have to call the rob-ees a buncha dumbasses.

Try this... •Go to Google Maps and click on 'Get Directions' •Write USA as your start point •Write Japan as your destination •Go to the 31st point on your route •When you stop laughing, pass this along so others can laugh at it too... • I thought the 32 direction was pretty good too!

I'll agree on the Cats and Harleys...

.

Thought maybe you might've had one of those 'rocket man' incidents...funny nonetheless! lol

Looks more like she's trying to scratch her colon.

Just shorten or lengthen the chains OR drive faster or slower while tailgating. It's almost an art, of which I haven't been able to perfect yet. But if you've got a square bottom box/trailer you've got a leg up on me...the 1/2 round tub I've got just windrows it. Can't say I worry much though, usually the guy with the dozer or grader with the laser guided blade takes care of it.
