    You won't get any flack from me. Hubby used to own two trucks, and a loader. We always did the friends in the neighborhood. And a few of their relatives as a courtesy. Its good to see that someone else has a big heart out there. :biggrin_25514:
     
    The Challenger and Gears Thank this.

    CRST trailers actually have the logo and stripe on the top so that when they roll over you can still see that crst is a great place to work.

    I didn't know they went fast enough to roll over! :biggrin_2559: This week I can't tell you how many times I came upon a crst truck in the right lane running 20 or 30 mph with the flashers on! :biggrin_25510: Those are the idiots that cause big wrecks.

    Well, I got the 'ol girl to turn over and start today. Had to hook up some cables and give her an assist, but after all was said and done, she came back to life. The reefer started with no help at all. All's good on this end. Now I just need to get healthy from this flu thing and I'll be back in the saddle...
     
    outerspacehillbilly Thanks this.

    The more I read of these "cold posts" the happier I am that I am retired. Not to mention living in the southwest!:yes2557:

    It's going to take a lot more than 50 degrees to lose all of the snow in Iowa in a short time. At least, I know it really is warming up somewhere.
