    My grandfather had 2 trim mowers. He'd just cut out either side of the deck so he could trim with it. My grandmother never did have any flowers as he'd just mow them down. He didn't like to go around anything when a straight line could he had.

    I pass Bartlett daily. Looks like biggest holdup are trains blocking the street. I'm amazed how quickly they can load a 100 car grain train.

    It depends. No 2 ethanol plants are the same. I refused to load out of Adams NE because they hardly had any stockpile of DDG so you were loading some warm and damp material, it would set up like concrete in the trailer. Some of the ones I’d load out of sucked in the heat and some were fine no matter what time of year it was. My trailer had vibrators on the hopper and up on the end slopes of the trailer so 90% of the time I never really had any issues with DDG.

    How goes the grain wagoning @bzinger ? Are you taking a liking to the W9?

    Oh well hell that sounds great! Most of my 7 years at Estes was spent peddling freight around Quincy. That’s a neat town and really truck friendly. And you got 2 truck stops in Taylor, MO on either side of the road just west of town. That sounds really good and you get a little break before you start. Congrats on the new gig and have a happy Thanksgiving!
