    Wheathauler we're right on the edge this time. They don't know whether we're gonna get a freezing mix or snow. I'd rather have snow.

    Yeah, it was a good time. Always nice to see shiny and new stuff this time of year when it seems like our trucks have been muddy and salty for so long now. Some of those trucks in the beauty contest are amazing how clean and shiny they are. :biggrin_25514: I see one of them all the time running through here with hogs, its an '09, but its still mighty impressive to see a working truck so clean and well cared for. On one hand, I got a few ideas for ours, but it also makes ours seem like rusty old buckets of bolts.

    We've got at least 3 cows really close, probably will drop them tonight or tomorrow in the snow. Supposed to start snowing here around midnight, could get up to 6" monday and possibly more tuesday. I guess it shouldn't be as bad as what the east coast got, so I'm thankful for that.

    I will be joining Cowdoc and becoming an Arkonite this week. Have to get routed through the pebble this week to sign the papers on a 3br 2 ba 4 acres with a small horse barn and a round pen... Its actualy in Jacksonville, AR. Have had the whole family on the road with me while waiting on the papers to go through. Its been interesting to say the least. Lets just say that mom, dad 3 kids and a 90lbs dog in a 72" condo makes for a close knit family. LOL



    Also still looking for a good 42/43 x 96 x 72/78 trailer if anyone sees anything let me know.

    I guess I should introduce them all to you. Wife/Melissa, Me, Anthony 8, Jalisa 5, Xavier 6 and Tank 3.

    Their is nothing wrong with a twenty year old truck espescially when you don't have a payment book that goes with it.

    How's it going Kansas?

    Just talked to the wife she said it was raining at home. I hope that is all it does.
