    Whoo...boy these hoppers turn to ice bricks in winter! Must have been an extra ton after coming through Colorado in a wintry mix at 19 degrees. That was something else.

    Looks like it's time for another big October snowstorm in the midwest.

    Big John, O/O these days. I break it I own it lol. My brother worked for Hesston about 12-15 years ago before he became a fireman in Newton.

    I put a set of Centramatics on my pickup truck at 40K. The truck now has a little over 130K, and the tires are wearing nicely. Thinking about a set for the truck.

    Guess its time to put the cold weather gear back on my truck.

    Yep, turned the heater on in my truck. When you can see your breath in the truck it's time for the heater.

    Cowdoc, AR was so nasty thursday and friday! What a storm. Did another Newport load, and man the rain was unbelievable.

    BTW, did you catch the game??? 3rd quarter, I looked at hubby and said "Huskers are going to loose this game." He started laughing at me, after the first TD. Told me to keep saying it, that it was working.

    from what i have learned about tires, is you need to find out the rolling resistance, the lower the number the better the fuel economy. but if your not doing much OTR it is probally a mute point.

    Yep mrs bullhaulers wife it's been wet here. We're fixing to mud this crop out. I didn't catch that game. I'm an LSU fan so this wasn't the best of weekends. GEAUX Tigers.
