    2 buckets in each hopper, 51,700 lbs.
    Took 2 minutes to load, 2 hours to unload, and sweating when it was 35 and windchill of 30.

    Started to think I was tarping a flatbed load again.

    Flawed system alright. Dudes are out here clearly smoking Meth causing havoc, and you move your truck twenty feet and lose a few thousand dollars. Is what it is I guess. Just glad to know you are safe and well rested. Lol. Can't make this #### upo_O

    Actually, nothing too sporty.

    69-74 Ford LTD Country Squire

    Same vintage Olds Vista Cruiser.

    I always liked the 72 Fury Wagon.

    I saw a 69 Polara wagon online. Reasonably priced, but I don't have the disposable cash for it, and I'm afraid to look it up again and find out it's sold.

    I DO like those 1992-1993 Buick Roadmaster wagons, but the nice ones are priced outta site, from what I've seen.

    And if you DO find a reasonably priced one, you better be halfway to the seller already, with cash money and a temporary tag.

    I believe @Espressolane mentioned that last night. I thought it was something dirty so I didn't pay it any mind.
    Still sounds dirty. Might be me.
    I had visions.........the size of the moon.
    Yeah, that's kinda messed up

    . That’s what I thought.
    The mud road to nowhere. I was headed towards the river, had to back up to the red dot, where pavement ended. Backed into the driveway at the dot. What a mess. I checked the gps when pavement ended, but thought I was headed the other way. I should have had it on after loading. But I thought I could remember which way I came in. Wrong! Lol.

    So wife and I are heading back home. Parked by a closed down warehouse, had dinner then watched a movie. I went to bed and Lorrie laid in bed reading. She accidently left the parking lights on. Woke up in the morning to a click click. That's not right jumped the truck from the deep cycle batteries and off we went. Well it turns over slower than usual so unplanned stop for new batteries. Had 1 sucking down the others not bad for a new truck with 140K on it :rolleyes:

    Right....batteries were on their last legs anyway.
    Any decent battery would run all night with no problems with just the parking lights on.
    You got a gift.
    Just before winter.

    Speaking of which.......25 tonight in Tyler TX.
