    We figured ya just loved being on top of that hill so much, that you'd never come down.

    How far is Missoula from where you've been working?

    I'll take it while I can get it. I have been able to pick away at fixing some of my own junk between projects.

    I should have been in bed two hours ago. Now I spun up the kids in "I broke the law, but it ain't my fault" thread.

    Good night.

    If that had been a guy who got fired for speeding through construction zones TWICE, the only person on that thread that would have been cordial would have been Chinatown. Lots of bootysniffers in the trucking industry.

    I know the feeling. Last month I've been running my tail off, getting all we can while we can.

    Sometimes I wish I could just idle for a little while.

    This is Bert, Case 530CK, diesel, born in the mid '60's, stopped moving last week, flat lined, no transmission pressure. One day to tear him down for surgery, and one to put him back together. Finished up today. Turns out a piece (1") of internal shuttle shift gear broke off and fell down into the torque tube, to be then sucked up into the transmission pump. A literal "wrench in the gears" took place, shearing off the pump keyway (like it should) and stopping the machine. I'm sure glad that's done, now, back to haying, cultivating, and firewood...
