    Don't try that at Colwich. I ran out of fuel once there...parking at angle one tank went dry. Cats are a pain ,in the you know what, starting after running out of fuel.

    Interesting indeed. I think the enforcement is pita but the only thing worse than a society w laws is one w/o laws so we get screwed either way. That Sen. Bunning has some loose screws...

    It wasn't too bad but it was hauling wheat so shorted 50 bushels over milo or corn. I would have run it if there was a more reasonable expection of how many loads could get in. That and they are going to have many trucks on this contract. I'm thinking a real gridlock unloading.
