    Hauled dry urea fertilizer from Portage la Prairie Mb to Winkler Mb most of last week.
    Went fishing for the weekend in Kenora Ontario with my GF's brothers and father. Saturday we had beautiful weather and had 2 boats with guides and caught lots of fish. Had a big fish fry on an island for lunch! On the sunday we went back out but it wasn't as good as the saturday, was raining then sleet then snowing, windy and cold.

    Have been backing off this gravel road into the shed to unload the fertilizer. At first we could drive straight in (the pic in the above post is of the truck up in the pile when driving into the shed) but as the pile gets bigger we had to start backing in to get the auger under the gates of the hopper trailers to offload. Looks like an easy back to most but remember we pull 2 trailers in a "Super B" combination, thats a tridem lead trailer hooked to the tractors 5th wheel with a tandem axle second trailer hooked to a fifth wheel that is mounted on the rear of the lead trailer. Its actually a fairly predictable combination to back up but it does take some practice! I have no problems admitting that it was a very humbling experience the first few times I had to do it! After a few times it actually does start to get easier and I think I am getting the hang of it!

    No, comes out easy. Just need to brush it out from the corners of the hoppers.
