    Last one of the year. Merry Christmas guys. I let my son take this one. 24 years old and making me proud. Here's a pic of him helping re-seal the diff on our old '88 W-900 16 years ago and a pic of him driving it right after he got his CDL permit three years ago. He drives that truck daily in the summer. He also loves the Pete, the loud exhaust and the chicken lights.. typical kid ;) IMG_0992.JPG JustinKW.jpg petelumber.jpg petelumber2.jpg

    I like onions. They are quite versatile.
    I tend to use more white ones over yellow ones. They have a milder flavor when used raw, and a smoother texture when cooked. Tend to use red ones mostly raw, they do nicely on pizza. Green ones are also good for a lot of things. Ever try scallion pancakes

    Training my boy up currently. My oldest boy. Just got his permit. Best way to do it IMO.

    So with your experience training your boy, did he scare you? I told mine he’s doing good unless he gets smacked with the ratchet bar!

    I lot of people (who’ve never used a pilot car I bet) were blaming the pilots.

    to me it looks like the bull hauler drove into the tail of the blade that was turning in front of him. The front car would have probably been holding traffic in front of the blade. The tiller man would have been steering and the back car would have been holding traffic back. At least that’s how I would do it. @TripleSix what say you? I’ve never pulled a blade.

    Everyone, especially that bull hauler is lucky that escort wasn’t killed when the blade landed on their vehicle. Another 2 feet forward and it would have landed right on the drivers seat.
