    Solid. I don't see anything possibly going wrong here.

    Looks like a GMC General cab. Has a radiator out of a FLD and don't see an a/c condenser. And I thought fenders over steer tires was mandatory....probably in a rush to hook and book that high paying Landstar freight and didn't quite get it finished, what ya @Dave_in_AZ????

    We just let one of those go. I think I'm bouncing around 210 at the moment.

    But discussing it with The OM, it's going to be about time to get this show on the road again.

    Close. I had to make up a batch of Humic... In a mixer that is not equip with the proper means (an eductor) of introducing the fine humid powder into the water. So I made due with what I had. I hung the 2200 pound bag over the mix tank that was nearly full of water and... I cut the bottom out of it with my pocket knife. It was about 1.5 seconds later that I came to the realization this powder is so fine that it FLOATS!!!!

    I now have 2200 gallons of water that has 2200 pounds of humic powder floating on top... And the wind is blowing like a mad mamma cow after you took her baby into the pickup. And to make things worse... This small mixer doesnt have enough power to make the water "roll" when its that full.

    After a few different failing attemps to get it to mix in... I finally gave up, pumped half out so the water would "roll", got it mixed to a thick slurry, then added the remainder back into the mix tank.

    Needless to say... It did not go according to plan.


    Very fine powdered humic, 180° degree water, and wind... Lots of wind. Things got a little messy.
