What if it Snows?

oops oxbowed

 

Score large quantity of steak at bargain prices, stock up.. View large inventory and decide to test quality of buy. Test is excellent; not sure quality is consistent, so test repeated. Companion assists in both these efforts. 4 steaks gone, less inventory.
(Use this explanation if questioned.)

 

Mine and your style of driving is a lost art. (And some whisper" Thank God.")

 

Spelling OK, as I googled it, hoping to score.... Rats...

 

I still like Pop Tarts.

I don't buy them by the box, but they're my go-to junk food out of the vending machine.....still taste great with a cuppa coffee.

 

Import labor is mostly flooring and sheetrock. Not much on power and plumbing.

 

Yes, two blocks away to an interchange. Left pursuit/tracking with 4 possible directions.

 

Float quits working, a little liquor quiver on the joystick fakes it. Hit the high places next pass...

 

Mike, Pressure wash (not too strong) to clean and kinda open the grain, Let dry completely, then stain. Takes more stain. Better finish and lasts longer.

 

Well, the young mechanic that repaired my truck showed me the damaged air bags, and forensic investigation yielded this conclusion:

The bags were badly dry rotted at the bottom fold.

These compromised areas expanded during a single event, possibly while backing under a loaded trailer, or hitting a big bump.

This started slow leaks that got progressively worse.

These slow leaks were compressed closed by an empty trailer, and the bags were able to inflate enough to give the illusion that everything was fine. No audible leak with an empty.

That's the capsule version. This was a head scratcher from me, to our terminal mechanic, to our company guy that pays the outside mechanics. In fact, he was on the phone with the Love's mechanic and questioning the young man's diagnostic capabilities, saying that he couldn't believe it was three (3) bags failing so it must be something else.

So the young man did a bubble check, took pics and forwarded them to the company guy.

Repairs approved.

Repairs completed.

I have been relieved of the yeast load, and must now bobtail back to Cedar Rapids to pick up another one tomorrow.

Pork chops at the 80 today......
