Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

It’s rained here yesterday and starting to now. What kills me is my shop door faces east and when that sun cracks them grain bins it gets hot till afternoon.

We hung a tarp from the top to bout waist high today as a sun break. It helped, I run a rope across so I could just pull the tarp open and closed if I have to pull one in or out. It’s also outta the way of the doors. I know it’s ho ### #### but a ho is bound to go ### ways

 

I did mine Saturday. I’m thinking I’m going to have to break down and get a hosty. Need some hot water for some of it

 

You guys need to quit grouching about having to pressure wash your shop floors in this hot weather.
I’d love a shop with a concrete floor that’s big enough to get my rig into.

 

I had enough of rolling around a gravel driveway. That sand gets all down your drawers

 

That's a good little knife right there. Benchmade is my go to for knives.

Top one is the 9000 AFO, the big brother to yours. No belt clip, no safety. I got it around '96-97. Carried it on the fire dept, where I had some justification to carry a switchblade. It just hangs out in the safe now.

Middle one is 583 Barrage thumb open. It has a belt clip and safety. It's my everyday carry knife, that has never opened a letter, shaved arm hair or cut anything. It has one purpose in life.

Bottom one is a what I use everyday for everything.

Unless it's the very rare occasion that I have to fly somewhere, I don't leave the house without the bottom two.

 

It’s almost to big for a pocket knife, but I’ve gotten used to it and feel naked without it

 

My knife. Although I wear it on the left, it’s my right hand man! Blades are as dull as a shovel anymore, I keep 3 of them. Lifetime warranty, so I break a couple, and use the spare until they get swapped back out. For some reason, the blades make lousy pry bars though. Broke the tip off this one the 2nd day I had it

I've got a Benchmade Infidel. I keep it put up , I'm afraid to carry it as I'm always fiddling with something or other in my pocket. I'm so clumsy sooner or later I would probably stab my self in the balls.
I'd put a picture of it up but it's got a government serial number so I'd rather not.

@50WT I like that. That would be a nice back-up, clipped to the top of a boot.
