    My farmer buddy had a new JD tracked skid steer one season when he told JD to come get it. Most unreliable pile of junk. He had to have two just to complete work for the week. He went out and bought a 07 because he can afford to fix it and it will run for more than a few days in a row.

    Well we touched down in Birmingham, guys got someone coming to pick him up haha I scared him about 20 miles out because my eyes were dry, tried to force myself to blink and for the first time my right steer tire drifted on to the white line rofl should’ve seen his face man, looked right at me with terror in his eyes; of course I seen it and I was like, “Well hell man you’re just 20 miles out, you can just hop out this one and take off running just like the last” :biggrin_25523:

    Anyone know if you can get away with the 7th hole on a 53' in CA? I'm slightly over weight on the tandems.

    Sometimes you can... a matter of timing + location + luck, etc...
    Have you tried to move your fifth wheel and bring the trailer forward a little? Sometimes that helps... depending on your weight on your axles and how much you need.

    I am back in the city of Cabo Frio, state of Rio de Janeiro, country of Brasil (right spelled with S not Z)...
    Don't anybody ask me for pictures of girls in bikinis.... not gonna take any and not gonna post any...
    Had my tooth roots extracted yesterday... was hopping to save whatever was left of my tooth... almost cried in the dentist chair...
    Now drinking fresh smoothies with a straw, taking antibiotic, not going out unless for more smoothies at the bakery/ snack bar downstairs, keeping my mouth shut and hoping will not have another infection...

    BTW... this country is still under RED code for COVID... no foreigners allowed in...
    Haven't seen ANYBODY ANYWHERE practicing safe distancing so far...:biggrin_25512:
    Many people wear masks as if that would keep them from the virus...
    Have been in 5 or more doctors' offices and dentist office so far and none of them check temp, ask for symptoms, keep safe distancing, clean counters, etc... and their waiting rooms are small and packed with people... I sat on the floor of the hallway waiting for my turn...
    I would like to eat the food here that I so love and miss.... but haven't done so far because I don't trust their hygiene... :biggrin_25512:

    This is pretty intense, definitely hits home with me. Seen a couple trucks end up like this in person.
