Thanks Ryan. Her passing was really more of a relief for the family, she'd been trapped in a nursing home for the last 5 years. She was in a lot of pain. but you know how "family" can be in this situation. 5 kids with 5 opinions of what to do. I'll try to sit in another room / stay out of it.Quote:

Ryan, how many passenger seats does that rig have and can I come too. Oh heck, show what and where and I just may be able to drive one of those babies for you. My ex wife's nephew use to travel across to the mid west country over there and drive harvesters for season to bank money to help purchase his own farm down here, absolutely loved it over there and thrived on the long hours and general experience.
Thanks Mark..
Boy, all this talk about Grain Harvest sure brings back a lot of good memories for me-I lived right on the Kansas/Colorado border for 15 Years working for Case/IH-I know those Combines inside and out,and dealt with the Custom Cutters every Year-I work for Deere now, and I'm familiar with most of the newer machines, however where I'm at we work with high quality, mountain Timothy Hay so we don't have the rush/stress of Harvest, plus I'm the boss so someone else deals with those problemsQuote:

Hope you have fun Truckin'-
And, 34 40 sorry about your Mother-in-law -
Thanks 35W.
Rainy and crappy out today. Can't decide to go out to the shop or stay in and pickup a guitar?
Hey guys, I will get a weather report in before Johnboy does. We have woken to a grey over cast sort of day with a cool breeze coming from the north which is bringing rain late this afternoon and into the night so for the guys at the NSRA nats. in Cambridge hopefully they should have the last day dry but a wee bit cooler and probably rain or showers on the way home. I look forward to a full report from Johnboy when he is safely home and settled but don't expect photo's as I don't believe JB does cameras yet.
Who has big plans this weekend? I have to play truck driver tomorrow and go to my brother's bachelor party tomorrow night. Sunday I hope to get an engine stuffed in a 03 dudge, and maybe get some work done on a 24v block I'm building. There's never enough time. Haha
Cranberry harvesting for me... and squeeze in some hours at the in-laws...
Well yesterday, our Friday I cleaned the oven as it had broken down last weekend and I was so embarrassed when the repair man came to fix it so I now have a beautiful clean oven until I use it again. Today I have a heap of clothes to fold, iron the ones that need ironed to hang away. Then if the wind drops, I need to put my sprayer on my back and walk around the property spraying the damn weeds so yeah, a house wife's work is never done. Sadly, I would like to get out and do some more work on the trailer I'm rebuilding but other jobs come first like a trip to the super market as we need to eat too.
Sorry no car stuff here.
This morning started late.( late for me anyway).
At 9:30 I was at my VFW post to update accounts, arrange for repair of video poker machines, call in repair for WiFi. Then a meeting at Columbus tech college. By noon I was back home, and doing some charity wrenching. A local disabled vet needed a heater core in his 95 olds cutlass. For a heater core, it was an easy job. Mostly because it already had the stock hose clamps replaced with worm gear clamps. But by three today's to do list was done.
Good on you for helping that man out!
Times 2, Congrats to you for helping.
