Where is everyone #5

Ya ever put on a motherboard....under a microscope. I won't do it myself...

 

I'm on day 6 since first symptoms, wife is on day 4. We're able to move about a little, but just walking a little takes a lot out of us. Hit me hard for a couple days. Every time I start to think it's over that weird sick feeling in my head comes back.

We booked a load out of NV headed down to Laredo for tomorrow, hoping that wasn't a mistake. We've been sitting in Barstow for a couple weeks though and we're gonna go mad if we don't do something.

 

If ya got any questions ask. I been looking at them for a couple years. Tractor time with Tim will pretty much hook you up.

I'm hoping to get a kioti in the spring.

 

Yeah we're forcing ourselves to eat. It better come back, cause I will surely miss a fine beer, bourbon, and cigar if it don't.

 

Ya gotta go to school.

I'm a need to know person. I know it don't affect me.... probably don't affect you but if ya think it might make a call.

Sorry I can't give ya no more than that. I hear alot of meetings that I probably shouldn't.

 

Had to go and pick this up from the weigh scale north of town tonight and take it out to a construction site, dude rolled over the pad with it 10,000 lbs overweight on his tri axle trailer. Ritchie Specs says a 470 Hitachi weighs 104,000 lbs, scale says this one is 114,000. Had to put it on a 16 wheeler with the 8 wheel jeep in front. 800hp would be nice for lumps like these on the pavement, but you'd be wiping your feet everywhere off road.

 

Watched quite a bit of Tractor Time with Tim, really liked the comparison series he did between the Kubota BX23 and JD 1025R.

I'm going to have to re-train my brain on driving it. I'm used to tractors with standard gearboxes and pedal configuration, so in the little bit of driving I did with it tonight I had to put conscious thought into the foot controls.

 

Freezing rain isn't helping anybody. I changed a leaking block heater tonight. Getting drenched with coolant, while it's freezing rain out.

 

Even Hitachi's website lists it at 104k lbs. Must have a few options on it.

 

I have about 1100 hours on a massey Ferguson gc2400. That thing works it's arse off and has never asked for anything. 10 years on the original battery even.
