    Cold day = good day for thinking / planning.

    Watch craigslist. I was searching for a small square baler and found one in a town about 100 miles from me. I bought it sight unseen and pulled it home on I-90 250 miles and it works fantastic. I only paid 600 for it. Side delivery rakes are pretty much a dime a dozen depending on where you...

    Question for truck drivers?

    Depends on if you run long haul or pick up and delivery. I run p and d. My company requires a paper log if you are on duty for 11.5 hours or more. When we do a log we annotate that we have taken a break on the log but rarely actually take a break. P and D is takes a lot of time management so...

    Job search thoughts

    Jim, pick up a copy of Capital Ag Press. It is a ag newspaper mainly for the west coast. They have a good selection in their employment section. I have been getting the paper for about 4 years and check out the classified section weekly. Leonard

    Propane comeback?

    I deliver to a place that is running NG fueled Semis. They say that refuel stations are becoming more prevalent on the west coast. Nothing like a mechanic telling a driver to bring his semi so they can change the spark plugs. LOL. Leonard

    How do you measure sleeve protrusion?

    I would go with the straight edge and a good set of feeler gauges. But most likely culprit was incorrect torque on the head. had the same problem that you are having and turned out that I&T has the wrong head bolt torque in it. Leonard

    Talked to my brother about gardening!!

    JD et al, when I was growing up I was like you all, and hated pulling weeds and the experiments my mom wanted to try. When I got older and had my first place one of the first things I did was clear a small area and plant a garden. I still have a small garden but the food I am able to grow is...

    Blew its top

    Was spending the night with a friend and the earthquake woke me up. Headed home and watched the ash cloud advance across the state and inundate the farm. My farm is about 300 miles north east of the mountain. Still have a bunch of the ash that fell on the farm kept in jars. Leonard

    Wetlands

    All wetlands are relative. I have driven by an area on the Tacoma tide flats that are wetlands, I drive local for USF Reddaway, and they are currently filling and leveling the area for more warehouse space.
