Just back in time to see that they go into recess til 1 PM.
Thought it would be easier to first do all the easy bills and then go down on the controversial stuff. That way, you do not get strange results because angry and tired people (after endless discussions on controversial topics) vote...
Any idea when the actual vote will be? I just tuned in on the Senate cam and entered in the middle of a sermon by today's Chaplain. More things to do so I cannot stay tuned permanently and like to get to bed in time as well (its 16:38 here now).
A longer description of what I did was done in a dump conversion thread
In short, remove 12 bolts and disengage the links and drive shaft to the hydraulics and get the dump assembly off. Place the 5th wheel and tighten 10 bolts and you are ready to go. With a crane next to it, I can do it...

Squirt truck, I always thought that the middle axles where a bit "hanging in the middle" and therefore fractional less crucial than the rear rear axles. So a next way to do this. Hope people will chime in with why this or that (or even better, why definitely NOT).
Split options equal...
Just thought about a few things:
1) if you split the system, each circuit services only half of what it used to be. Does that mean a smaller air pack?
2) dual MC. With the vacuum assisted and the hydro-booster systems, the booster is BEFORE the MC: the pedal influences the booster which pushes...
