    I’m guessing you have been welding.

    Well I signed up for social security today………

    Still not willing to quit, will keep truck with insurance and authority for another year. Then reevaluate. Haven’t done a load in 3 1/2 years.

    Yeah... A tiny little chemigator trailer (small tank with recirculation and injection pumps) came in with one fender dangling, threating to wipe out the tire which would cause a catastrophic mess with the tank loaded. So I got to play Steel Dr.

    Was kind of a rush job so I just burnt through the paint instead of grinding it all clean... Burning through paint like that causes extreme amounts of large hot sparks. Got a pretty good one than went through my sleeve, I was gritting my teeth trying to keep a steady hand as it rolled down my inner arm.

    We just woke from a rhinoceros sleep. Leaving at 0200ish to navigate through the SUPER mega indigenous population center. Appointment is at 0530 roughly 100 miles away.

    I think stick is better when doing the burn thru contamination. My little brother favored 7011 and he was the best at repairing rusty old junk. I always said he could weld your cheeks together if you stood still.

    Looking to be a late night to a long day... Started at 0550 this morning, still have a load to deliver tonight. Based on prior trips to this location, it will be about 2230 before I punch out for the day.

    . Do they side dress potatoes? Shouldn’t this be a slow time for fertilizer?
