    Well that was 2000 when Freightliner and Spicer had the bright G D idea of the Lubed for life. Well they meant its life and that was 500k if it made it! Put a zerk on it. No need for warranty its the owners responsibility. But they probably created 100 jobs because of it. I hate people that are smarter than my greasy country butt. Like the crane/tow motor master I met last night. We would still be looking at the parts if it wasn't for this stupid trucker (me( that called customer and asked if they have a crane. Then showed him how to lift it and set it on my lumber. Wtf think for yourselfs. I'm still not sure the shop I'm going to has a crane. I have worked for them before, but not this shop. I was told they think they have a crane. F it Ill chance it at that. I know plenty of ways to get it off of trailer. Ill fill in and make things happen just like always. Its what we do right.! Now off to make dinner for some good friends from out of town coming by. Sorry about the rant!

    Indeed, he’s right.

    Not to long ago I mowed about 1 1/2 acres with a push mower, which served as a stark reminder that I’m not 12 anymore when I enjoyed that sort of thing.

    I used to do 2 acres when I lived with my parents.

    Typical Honda push motor.

    Loved every second of it. Course it helped I could jump in their pool to cool off during the summer....

    I’m about to head out to the Monster Jam truck show. I’m taking my daughter because she has a lot of fun, as do I. These drivers are both men and women and they do some incredible stunts, much different from the simple car crushing I used to watch when I was a kid.

    Last year, they did some jumps and would hit the brakes, bring the rear end to 12 o’clock and do a reverse wheelie 50+ feet back across and up the platform and back down. I can really appreciate that type of skill, some of the gutsiest stunts are done by a 26 year old blonde girl:thumbup:

    Here’s an example. Pure skill.
