    On Freightliner it’s 12 ton in front, behind dollies, 13 ton in rear on slope,

    On KW it’s 12.5 ton behind dollies, 12.5 ton on rear slope.
    If you go forward of dollies, you’re over on steer.

    Fired up the furnace to knock the chill off. It’s going down to 50 tonight. Tomorrow back to the 70s. Next week 7 perfect days. Figures as I’ll be gone. Running out of time. Every year I postpone outside projects till spring. That’s the bad part about winter. I don’t like it myself. Rather be in Tennessee, just south of I-40 much easier winters. I don’t see how you Guys stand it in Wyoming, Montana. Colorado etc.

    "Guess i should just measure out 26.5 ft".
    That sounds like the ticket, find out exactly. You've been using too many variables.

    Precious memories, (of good things gone) how they linger.

    A BIG stack of firewood and a fire that never goes out once snow flies. Plus there's also the chance I will wake up to 3 or 4 foot deep drifts... "Sorry boss, I'm snowed in today"
