    In typical me fashion I end up in the middle of a fuster cluck.

    2 customers pull around back here to load. 1 guy with a tiny trailer taking a whole pallet (the 6ft tall ones) of mulch. No strap, trailer can barely handle the weight.

    The 2 other older gentlemen have a dually and 14k gvw gooseneck getting 6 pallets of block. They start to load and strap and I point out that their trailer tires are flat. So I pull out my air guage. 40psi in all of them that are 14ply 120psi. Grab my air hose and put all of them at 80psi so they can get down the road.

    The pyro doesn't work I know that for sure.

    Oil temp has stayed pretty constant at 190-200 the entire time. 16171223738461846254321511053840.jpg

    Man, that brought back some memories from a time loong ago. I'd tag along with the older fellows and we'd sit there and listen to the music them hounds made. Ssh listen up, ok, he's got one treed, lets go. Howda know that, simple he just told me, let's go and shine 'em eyes. Thanks for recalling for me the memories of a much simpler time....

    Neighbors across the way use to fox hunt a lot close to our place. There is a high knoll about 150 feet from our fence line, they would start a fire and set there listening to the dogs bark. Good times and memories for sure....!

    Came out to work in the garage but got distracted by something else. Nice sunny day so now I'm cleaning up and organizing the truck
