    Oh, walnut ridge, I knew that was familiar. I went through there again today. We had a bunch of ties stored down at the Kawasaki dealership. That's where the mechanic let me borrow a big hammer to beat my wheel straight. I delivered some to the guys out at the airport that take planes apart too.

    Come to think of it, wasn't there a fancy pete car hauler for sale just north on 67 there a while back? Didn't see it today but I wasn't really looking.

    It's getting really cold here. 21 with strong north wind. Still calling for snow here. It's supposed to be worse in OK. Weather channel showing ice in OKC.

    it was about 50 & sunshine at 7:30 this morning when i took my daughter to school. just came in a few minutes ago & down to about 40 with a light north wind. it changed quick.winter ain't over yet. but at least the cows all have enough hay to do them for a couple of days if it does get bad. supposed to start raining here after midnight,the change over to sleet & freezing rain before turning to snow. all we can do is wait & see.

    The high here was about 17 today, supposed to get down to 5 tonight. I still think the storm will stay south of us here. You guys that are in it, be careful.

    Kali that Pete belongs to one of the local used car dealers. It's been sitting there awhile. It's just beginning to sleet here now. I've got a question-1998 FLD 120 with a 12.0 liter series 55 Detroit and a 9 spd. Fuller. This has always been a doggy truck but it's getting real doggy. You've got to govern out each gear on the topside or it will smother out when you shift. Changed the filter a couple of weeks ago. I hate this truck. I'm thinkin computer issues. Any other ideas??
