Did you change the front ones too? They're usually much easier.

That's good can't beat that. Don't tell Pharm he'd be jealous

Pharm probably threw something at his computer when he read that!

 

I didn't mean that you were, I was just kidding Pharm a little.

I'm doing my impersonation of a flatbedder this week, going out to Ohio for a load of treated wood fenceposts, was lucky enough to find a load of lumber to take out that direction. I haven't got too much room to kid Pharm, though. I have deadheaded all the way out there before when I couldn't find any decent loads to take. The guy I haul the posts for isn't very far away from me, and a good guy, so I go out there a few times a year and get posts. Loaded up the lumber this morning in the rain, so I stopped back by the house to shower and dry clothes.

I'm not super high-tech, so I won't be on here till I get back. How will I survive without my daily dose of this place?
