    Yeah, and if I were to buy a truck, it would be the first thing that goes into it. Along with a hardwood floor.

    If anyone knows where you can get those, please let me know. I haven't been able to find them.
    I had them in previous trucks, and would like to get two of them for current trucks.

    Grill is still intact, we're good.

    Gotta make sure to survey the entire situation.

    In a round about way, that logic works. Grass fires generally tie up Johnny Law because we need him for traffic control. This allows you fellas to go about your day without having to worry about what he's doing. You can thank me later.:D:cool:

    This started along US 50 just east of town. There's a pasture and an unmowed CRP field there. Dry cow turds do burn, and they do it very well. They're also light enough to be blown around by the wind. Every time they bounce along the ground, they drop sparks. You basically have to put each one out for this reason. We start at the edge of the unburned area and work our way back into the burned area, one pile at a time.

    From about the Nebraska/Kansas line south to Texas, we're fighting a double edge sword this year. We had a wet year/good growing season last year and not enough snow or ice to mention this past winter. The snow and ice smash the grass down somewhat making duff, which slows fire spread.
    Here's where the sword comes into play. No smashed grass means it's standing tall. We have ares around town where the grass is 4' plus tall. When it burns, it burns cleanly down to the soil. It also burns hot and fast and is harder to get under control. Last March, we couldn't drive fast enough to keep up with the rate of spread. That's one side.
    The other side comes when you do have smashed grass. It's shorter, so it doesn't burn as fast, but it doesn't burn down to the soil. After the fire goes through and burns the top off, the duff smolders. It's a bad feeling to put out a fire and turn around to see random fires that have popped up because of this. They're not intense or fast moving, just more difficult to put out. They'll burn underneath, taking the path of least resistance, and just pop up anywhere.
