    It will be completely removed from any end dump work if I go this route, the only way I do that is if I get my house paid off and it's financially feasible to not have to run so hard and can just do what I want. Kinda like retirement but still able to run, it's my long term goal but we are looking at least 5 years down the road

    @wore out I think that you got a new dance partner there. Not sure how much Doc will appreciate being left out of the fun,

    That ##### was mad at somebody and decided I was somebody. I kept turning them on the top middle cut till I caught her toward the front and started my push. She hesitated and tried to turn back.but had no where to go with a couple of those bigger baldies on her tail she decided for the path of least resistance. She was headed toward the top gate though when I got to it first. How this is gonna play out at Gibbon pack is any one’s guess. I’m hoping she gets cold and doesn’t want to tussle

    Does LeTourneau still exist down in Vicksburg/Natchez area?

    You better load V/burg and scoot as they are offering us 2 to 4 of snow here in Tupelo starting Thursday evening thru Friday. No problem for you but the locals in panic out snow riding will cause erratic blockage...

    The Great R.G. LeTourneau has been closed for many years. Only thing left is the main building close to the highway and the vacant shops. Only thing on the river side is a public boat launch. Many, many local folks, 50-60 mile radius, have worked between there and Brownsville Tx plant. Era gone for ever. I said Brownsville, though I meant Longview Tx.
