    At least the bark would have flavor?

    Taco Bell cannot be considered food.

    Taco del mar is delicious.

    I will give him an A for water conservation since he probably washed his clothes once or twice a year whether he needs to or not

    sadly I sold my multiaxle for a tower trailer - to make the wind detractors very sad. Just wasn’t as much work for it this year as I had hoped

    I could go almost 220k in theory but practical easy to scale - about 200k 14k 40k 51k 60k 40k was pretty reasonable. The picture of that house I posted I was a little over 190k California to BC

    and yes I miss it

    hopefully Dave does mind me chatting on WIIS

    That last 20 miles was cruel but not unusual.

    MPG took a hit down to 7.5

    We're 8 miles from target and being FLEECED for $25 INSIDE THE COMMUNIST STATE.

    I never see those by themselves now.

    Always day cabs, and it appears they ship the whole thing in one convoy.

    I'm the middle child of three.
    Love my big sister, she is great. But my baby sister is more than a sister. We are inseparable, best friends, and if anyone tried to harm her, they would deal with me. I'm kind and caring usually, but when angry, I will hurt people. And nothing else can make me as angry, as someone messing with my baby sister. My mother passed away from cancer, but papa is still alive, and God knows I love him. But not like my baby sis. I feel like the luckiest woman alive to have a sister so great.

    Funny story. Growing up our house was too small for us to each have our own bedroom, so we shared a room, my parents had their own room, and my big sister had her own room. When my big sister married and moved away, my little sister moved to that room. It took 2 days and my little sister moved back into my room. We bought a house together in 2017, its a big house, 4 bedrooms. We hadn't been in it a week when my baby sister came and climbed into my bed with me. Technically she has her own room, her clothes and things are in it, but in the past 4 years there isn't more than 10 nights she has slept in her own room. I have a king size bed, half is hers. Neither of us sleep well if the other is away.

    just depends on the job - the picture I posted was for a re-top re-power job in IA. The tower tops were made in WI and the blades came from Fort Madison IA and the hub/nacelles am not sure. So there were no other tower components.

    combined transport - all I will say

    but seriously,

    There is no test or license to move oversize overweight loads - and not everyone should be doing it. It requires the right attitude to be successful at it. I never claim to be the best or fastest driver out there - mostly I get paid to do it the right way - to minimize but not totally eliminate the risk. When HH guys screw up - it is usually spectacular and stupid expensive.

    while it is not dog food or water or central point gold - I can feed Zoe at the end of the day.
