    Sorry about your luck, thankfully you have tow insurance. At least you will know the work is done correctly.

    That’s no way for a man to have his day started for him. On the upside, you get to go home early and you don’t even have to drive. Smooth operator move on the tow insurance though.

    Been runnin hard since Sunday evening. So when a mouthy broker tested my patience...

    Well, I enjoy a break every now and then. A bit of Rifleman and Coors ain't a bad break.

    Sounds like a good day.


    Ol Chuck Connors was a legit tough guy. Used to really like “Branded.” Could whip all the men in a town at the same time and they would still call him a coward.

    Can definitely say I like the cut of your jib. You appear to have a more positive mental attitude about the current situation than a lot of others do.

    Yeah, throws a wrench into the plans for the week for sure but what can you do? Hopefully the truck figured out #### was hitting the fan and shut down before any major damage was done. Crazy thing is this is something I've always had a worry in the back of my mind about.... what if something goes down while I'm fast asleep? Not all electronics on motors are a bad thing, could have very well saved me an expensive engine replacement.

    Not at all. I'm usually a pretty heavy sleeper plus I have a fan blowing to help circulate air in the cab since kw never learned how to make a decent hvac system. The shutdown shakes are what woke me up.


    Definitely lucky on the tow insurance. Highly recommend for anyone that doesn't have it. The extra few bucks is worth it in the event you end up needing one or in my case it's cheaper for you to have it towed home than it is to get parts delivered, tow bill is 4200 to bring it home without the insurance.

    Buddy that farms and custom sprays wants a helicopter. Says he could learn to fly one. I know he is intelligent enough to learn. But he has wrecked everything he had ever had. Even backed combine into wifes new pickup a few years back. I told him I will support him, under 1 condition. I get to name it. The name will be "Sudden Impact".


    Plus I'm buying a insurance policy on him. This is better chances than Vegas!

    When I was little I remember my neighbor had a crop duster come a few times. That guy was having a blast. He knew we were watching so he was showing off
