    Is the freakin wind blowing anywhere else besides here?


    I thought I was in a Tsunami with out the water today, and we could sure use a good rain or two.

    Yep, 60 mph winds here. Glad I didn't have anything to do today. Got about .12 of rain not near enough.

    Still no rain and we need it bad. Hauling milo into town this coming week about a forty mile round trip. This local running back and forth can wear a guy out, maybe have to get me a long run in the future. Get me a load to Kentucky I think Dairyman still owes me a breakfast. :biggrin_2559:
     
    dairyman Thanks this.

    Long way for a breakfast. I'm not sure what I'm doing this week, have some options but haven't decided yet. Loads a litttle scarce and not paying real great.

    We really haven't had much moisture since a snow storm in late winter.

    On your hoppers, what do you run for tire pressure? I run 110 cold in my trailer tires and also in my drives. Just curious what everyone else runs.

    I run 105 to 110 cold in all my 22.5 LP's, and check em at least twice a day (cold and hot) with a bat. I get the gauge out at least every 2 days and read pressure.
     
    Big John Thanks this.
