    I don't know if they will win one or not. They have a tough schedule for being 2-14 last year. May have to root for denver depends on how desperate I get.

    Supposed to have nice weather all week. In another two weeks harvest may start. Hope so it's pretty slow right now. Could go farther out but the rates aren't anything to get excited about.

    I think everybody is tired of waiting. Yesterday it was 90 but today in high 60's. It isn't supposed to be very warm this week.

    Wheathauler only 1 buggy tractor got stuck today. The rice is really yielding well so far. I think I hauled 14 loads today with only 2 combines running. We rough figured it at about 200 bu/acre. A good day.

    Nice day today. Supposed to have 40 to 45 mph winds tomorrow. Then more rain chances and cooler. Need to get 4 drive tires sometime ,with that excise tax on Chinese tires, it's going to be expensive. I got some really good cheap chinese tires for my trailer a year or so ago.

    Wheathauler I spoke too soon about the rock truck. I blew a steer today loaded on 63 near Portia. I knew things were going too good. Cut rice this afternoon with no probs so that was good. I'm ready for that end dump.

    You must go over some bad roads....seems like you have a lot of blowouts. I guess you had a wheel about fall off maybe it wasn't a blowout.

    Yep the wheel busted and yes I run alot of rock/gravel roads. Plus this old truck sits for long periods and then we get it out and run it hard. Less than ideal. Plus it's one of them deals where the tires get old and weak but the tread and all looks fine but then they get hot and blow.
