    I could've done without the Super Bowl Shuffle, but Payton was definitely one of the best ever. I've got the DVD with his highlights, they're amazing. I never got to see him play in person, but one of the two times I've been to a game, 1992 I think, they put up a "34" flag at Soldier Field during halftime and dedicated it to him. During the 3rd quarter, he walked all the way around the field and waved to the crowd thanking them. You could hear the applause in each section as he made his way around. It was a terrible shame he died in '99, he was also a great person. :biggrin_25514:

    I think I hauled the last of the seed wheat today. Guess there will be milo to haul later, not sure when. Sounds like this month may be slow which is no big surprise. Last winter Jan and Feb were dead.

    Several years ago, we used to have season tickets to the chiefs. Wasn't too bad going up with the family and watching 3-4 games a year, then selling the rest of our tickets. But my sons got to college, and the chiefs started "stinking", so we gave them up. I'll give them a few years, then I might drive back for a few games, if they "earn" my business back!(lol) I'm still a chiefs fan, but I haven't purchased any of their paraphernalia for a few years.

    Heck, just win half the games and people will come back. I've never been at Arrowhead my son has. The HD is so clear not sure would have to go to actual game.

    I have an aunt & uncle that tailgate before every game, so that is one of the reasons we went through the years. Quite an experience in person, but you do have better seats at home.(lol)

    Hey, wanted to ask you, I started our Peterbilt up today just to see if it would start(been sitting since christmas). It started right up, but the air compressor kept "popping", loosing air out the top. I figured it must be some type of relief valve, but there wasnt much pressure. It would pump up to about 60 #'s, but I don't think it would go any higher, as it kept letting the air back out. Any idea what that might be? Never done this before, so imagine the cold weather had something to do with it, thus my idea of a relief or pressure valve sticking.

    I had that happen on freightliner. Yes I presume it is a relief valve. Usually it's a brass fitting screwed into air compressor. Means you have some ice in your airlines...usually happens when really cold. I had to unhook top line on air compressor and put some alcohol in it. It wasn't really alcohol but came in a can I'll have to look and see if a still have a can of it. That's where the air line was on C-12 cat anyway. If you get inside somewhere where it's warm it will thaw out.

    Anyway once the weather warmed up the problem went away. It usually happened in low teen or single digit weather.
