    Well the legend I heard was OHIO steel haulers grew three finger chickens cause mama ran out of fingers to put their diamond on.....

    I thought it was just counter talk but.....

    I'm thinking it all fell when they started wearing their boots to bed and kicking the chickens outside....then the in breeding started and now ya got five fingers on your scratchers.

    Just a theory.....I don't know....I don't travel east.

    It was nicer before it went corporate, which I think I stopped at only a couple of times afterward. Mr Waffle is what it used to be named. Use to run regularly down there before it became Westar, but it was a good place that I'd stay at often instead of the corporate lot down there. :)

    Well, got to use my new Milwaukee 1/2" impact today. Pretty bad ###. I'm kicking myself hard for not upgrading tools years ago! My wife was laughing pretty good this week at me cussing myself.

    So Herd sent me that retrofit kit. How that works is beyond me. Just a flat plate with a nut welded on and some new big eye bolts. Well, that flat plate just doesn't fit in any way possible. Next time I'm home I'll prolly just cut it and weld it in. I'm too lazy this week.

    We bought an air fryer recently. And I gotta say I’m kind of impressed. We pressure cooked beef ribs last night. There not as tasty as on the grill or smoker but they were fast and pretty tasty. We’ve made a few other things with it and it is quick!

    Well just waiting on my irp/ifta application to be approved, been 4 weeks now.. Got a email today saying i was denied for missing a signature on 1 of the 5 billion pages of paperwork i had to send in... So now were waiting to get all the crap back in the mail so we can sign it and send it back and wait for another 4 weeks.. Most likely only to be denied again for something dumb would be my luck.... Might as well just go find a job as a company driver if its gonna take 6 months just to get my truck on the road. The government doesnt make anything easy... Be helpful if they had an office i could go to, or some instructions for how to fill some of this stuff out. But that would be to helpful wouldnt it ? Geez makes me just wanna throw in the towel. Have to jump thru 76 million hoops just to start a company. Dont think its this complicated in any other industry on planet earth.
