    Ain't that the truth. What I hate, is we just wash her, then go to load, and the hood is full of the dust from loading. AND you know it isn't going to just blow off the truck when you get going down the road. The grease in the bone meal just makes it stick. LOL

    That bumper is coming off though, because thats the one that is mounted to the hilt with washers. Not mounted right at all. The new one is here, just have to get the time to get it put on, and the skirts aligned again. LOL Doesn't look bad in that picture though. Too bad its as thin as tin foil. :biggrin_25523:

    I had a 89' KW T600 back in the early 90's and I hauled wheat midds every day out of the local mill and the dust would settle and it just wouldn't blow off and over time it will make your paint dull looking.

    Yup. We wax her good every few months, weather permitting, but it still sticks. Some days we pray for rain, just to rinse it off the truck. LOL

    We loaded with pork meal the other day, and when you opened the door, the truck just stunk, because the steam vent from their boiler was in front of the truck blowing right at it, so it made the stuff stick good!

    What time do you guys do your evening milkings? I'd want to take a nap after lunch! My old man gets up at 4:30 all the time, work days, weekends, vacations... I'm not old school that way, I like to sleep in when I don't have anything pressing to do. :biggrin_25518:

    Our corn in our bin was originally contracted for Dec delivery, and Cargill pushed it back to Jan because they were still getting in so much because of the late harvest. I haven't heard much about it going in ahead of schedule. I usually only know about a week ahead of time what we'll be doing.
