    Check out Hwypilot on Instant Load Boards II. He's pharm's other lease operator. They are team driving until he can make enough money to fix his truck.

    Cloudy, windy and cold. 45 degrees right now. Maybe a slight chance of rain. I think it is supposed to be warmer tomorrow.

    SInce I had been out for nearly 30 days (Oct-26--Nov-25) and no one was able to get me any parts til monday I took time with the family. My son and I began tearing down the truck today to replace a head gasket on the front head. I pulled the injector from the number one cylinder and.....well a picture is worth a thousand words....This may very well be my power loss and really poor milage.......

    Seafoam is great stuff, but it wont kill algae. You gotta get a product that's specifically for killing algae, as none of the regular fuel treatment brands aren't made for removing that nasty stuff.

    BigJohn where ya loading at? I am loading soy hulls early in the morning. I was told to tell them 25ton and 6" above the bows, and Ill have to work them down from there. Never loaded hulls before, so this may be a learning experience lol... Not sure how my body will respond to the alarm clock going off at 3:30 am we shall find out ughhhhh.

    I would think replacing it would help quite a bit.


    Especially after being off for Thanksgiving. I also need to leave early but it is only 7 am which sounds much better. I used to get up at 4 am to haul beans to Wichita but haven't done that in a while.
