What if it Snows?

I've seen a lot of signs on tank trailers through the years:

"LP GAS", "FLAMMABLE", "INEDIBLE", "SWEETENERS ONLY", etc.

Saw a new one today.....

"MUSTARD"

Dude was delivering a TANK LOAD OF MUSTARD to the Major National Brand Manufacturer of prepackaged condiments.

The same outfit I'm about to join.

Didn't get to talk much to him, though. Whoever washed the pump on his trailer screwed the nut on the cover blank down so hard that it took both of us a great deal of pounding, straining, and cussing before we finally got it loose.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome".

That's all the breath we had time for.

 

Right now I'm unloading the second run of today's "Cincinnati two-fer".

The Major National Brand producer of Strategic Hams.

Supposed to be 12 degrees out. I believe it.

 

That's all I've ever used, even when I ran the northern plains. Had a buddy spend the bucks for the aviation stuff, but I didn't see enough speed improvement to justify the cost.
Usually, I'll run PTO while pulling my cars, that lets it warm the oil enough to do the "run it the wrong way for a foot" trick and the warmer oil speeds up travel quite a bit. Mainly on retraction, the area advantage on extension usually is enough to keep rod speed bearable.

 

The bitterness is real! I mentioned while eating breakfast this morning that I need to check the LP tank, completely forgot about it. Spent the evening with some friends, got home, no heat. Feces! Checked the tank, yup, out. Milking parlor will be frozen solid by morning if I don’t get some immediately. Unfortunately, that means ruining some other guys enjoyable night in his warm bed… old place was on autofill, so it wasn’t very likely that me and the driver had a brain fa*t simultaneously. Wonder how much they are gonna rock me for on top of the leak test and emergency service charge? In weather like this, I don’t mess around though

 

Tundra life!

 

I feel your pain! I’m glad I left the faucet running.
