    I dont trust anyone that solely follows a certain religion, or political beliefs. Those are not independent thinkers. I do not respond well being told how to think.


    Edit. I agree with what you said. Its not all farmers, and yes I like and respect them too.

    Get yourself some high-vis traffic cones and a high-vis vest, 4 cones before the job and 3 beside 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 meters) apart and angled from the traffic edge of the job machine to 4 ft out at the machine.
    A 5 ft flag-pole (metal conduit works best) stuck in the tops of a cone or 2 with a red or orange OD style flag on it will discourage the redneck numbskulls who like running over the cones.

    Cut both used filters open and look for slimy dark deposits in the paper.
    If you find slime you have a bug in your tank and need to shock treat both tanks. Expect to change 3 filters as you clean out the bugs (bacteria/fungus) it feeds on older diesel and likes a small amount of water too.

    Hey no fair, we had to throw 4 chains, 8 binders, and 4 straps today. Stealing freight, letting the shipper do all the work, might as well be a daggum door slammer.

    I was even parked within the cones of the construction zone for part of the job and it was sketchy. That was on the main road. Much worse on the "quieter" side street lol. I wasn't really scared or nervous per se but I had my head on a constant swivel and used the truck as a blocker.

    Tried a hard cider today called "Bloody Hell"

    Blood Orange with Habanero pepper.

    I was disappointed, because it would have been a lot better if there was more habanero for a bit more heat.

    Oh well, I got other brews from the "Pretentious" section at the store.
