Just tell the northern folks to close their eyes and boiled peanuts taste like canned black olives. Wheelspinner, happy to assist. PM me back or call tomorrow.

It's been several days and I wanted to give some updates. We only have requests for Yuengling Light and Bud. Now the important stuff is out of the way we can talk about my truck. I sure miss it, I need to go by Ron's so I can lean on the fender. I wanted to again thank Wreckerman893 for the...

I had signed up to volunteer and want to cover my responsibilities. If I do an early shift Friday AM I would have a clear conscience. Late Friday night the wife...

I would think we would fog out most flying insects with all the diesel's running. Comet or diatomaceous earth are both great for crawling stuff. They can't cross the line of the stuff.

LOTS of threads about CDL requirements.

Look at the data plate but looks like a 5 ton tractor with a shortened Deuce bed installed.

What is the duty rating on these?

Saws & grinders? Yikes! Does Jimma have smelling salts if I black out from too much sawing/grinding on my truck?

ODFever, Won't Cousin Eddie's head stick to that thing?
