    Wimps all... Ride an old Case hay baler; punching wire in really dry soybeans, sun hat and nothing over the nose. Dust cloud 100 feet high and 50 foot circle around the tractor and press. Now I was young, bout 13-15 and could see Campbell 66 Hi Way Express cruising up US 45 out side my field fence. Seemed like a step of two up from farming to truck driving. Any ideas on how it turned out for me?

    This is why you have the OM. Who else would delegate tasks effectively. It’s a lot of work to do those kinds of things.

    @JolliRoger Not knowing whereabouts in AR,I’ll say the best way to get to Dyersburg TN out of AR.
    It if Paragould take 412. Stay on 412 through AR,MO, Into TN.
    E side of Dyersburg 412 splits off to Right, stay on it.


    Coming 55 N from Blytheville AR go to MO-U(saves 5 miles) go R top of ramp.

    get back on I-155(old hwy 412) E on 412, cross into TN passed dyersburg a couple miles 412 splits off to Right

    Lake of Ozarks has pretty hill curvy roads.
    MO 42 out of there is hilly, curvy, but it’ll take you to Hwy 63 in Vienna, MO, about 15-20 Mile N of Rolla Mo, can stay on 63 back to Cabool, 60/63 run together. Can stay on 60(4 lane from Cabool on)Run it over to Sikeston, MO, Go S on 55, run it down to 412/I-155. cross over into tennessee stay on 412 @ dyersburg TN.

    Pin is Mo-42

    US 60 S at Vienna ^
    Good road from there.
    it’s a truck route.
    note, Hwy 5 from lake of ozarks sucks.

    You are a wussy.
    You need to look into door slamming.
    That's what I do, and I'm a wussy too.

    Difference is, you never heard me complain about slamming doors.

    Be who you are, grasshopper.
