    I bet I've dumped a hundred pails of hyd oil in the old pig over the years as much as it marked it's spot. If it ain't got oil under it there ain't no oil in it!

    The wind around here hasn't helped anyone this week. I-80 has been closed since yesterday and they said today it will remain closed until at least 4pm tomorrow.

    Remember the cows and that bull we needed to go rescue with our horse trailer on skis? It's too late. They got drifted in in the little bare spot they were stuck in and they're dead. A ranch that big it's just one of those things that happen...10,000 head , they're going to lose 100 or so every year. Can't ever gather them all on such a big place. They start coming out of the hiding spots when the snow starts getting deep and sometimes they end up in a place that's really hard to reach this time of year. Still hate to see them suffer though. IF we'd known the wind was going to be that bad it would have been better to just shoot them where they were standing.

    Your no kidding on the hydraulic oil! Lol. This goes through quite a bit also. We need to replace all the rear cylinder packings someday. We park the loader in a specific spot in our yard and looks like the Exxon Valdez oil spill!

    Thanks. Hard to look at on the fly at 65 mph but next time Google decides to reroute me through somewhere like backwoods Iowa in the winter, I'm going to park it. I don't need that kind of stress in my life.

    That's probably what did it. I've never seen Minneapolis that red before, ever. There was more dark red on Google than I've seen in Chicago, in winter, during afternoon rush hour. There was crashes EVERYWHERE. And I didn't get any warning, since it all happened pretty much as I turned into the I494.

    But at least driving empty, I don't have to worry about weight restrictions on side streets. And this trailer's wheelbase is very short. Like driving around the front half of a Super-B.
