    Well, going to have to replace my air compressor. Rings are shot and it's blowing oil right down to the trailer quick release valve. Dang thing was full of oil.

    Got a brand new truck and trailer waiting on me at the yard. Just got to actually get there.

    So where are you? I've never seen it snow carp before! Are they easy to catch? Do they taste good?:p:D

    I suppose it could be worse. You could be in Texas.....duckin' and runnin'

    Probably compensating for whatever problem he has....

    Man I hope you have better luck with it!

    I told the shop guys something was up with the compressor when I was stopped in Nebraska but they didn't want to fix it the...now I didn't even give them a choice. Told them what I was doing and then did it. This is still a good truck, it just needs a little attention.

    You have never seen snow carp? Easy to catch, fun to scoop up and throw at people. As for eating, not any good too many bones.

    Ah-Hah! I see! Thank you for the information. How bad do they stink if thrown under the back seat of a car in hot weather, a la Grumpy Old Men?

    They aren't nearly as dangerous as snow snakes, only seen in windy weather....

    Waiting, waiting, waiting. Compressor is supposed to be here around lunch time, then maybe I'll be able to move again...should be almost home.
