    To be honest, I enjoy lowboy work in a sense. I beat myself up in my younger years around them drilling rigs. The drill steel we used was 10 3/4” diameter. Took a big open end wrench for backup when breaking the threads. Wrench was 2 1/4” thick steel @ 120 lbs +. I was in good shape back then. Use to grab that wrench and throw it with one hand. Now.... my joints kill me at times, although I have a step and front entry to my conestoga, it’s a choir at times. The lowboy is nice in I can just about lean over and hook a chain anywhere....

    Welp... Slow day here. So I made time for maintenance. Shoes cams and bushings on the front axle of the wagon. Then spin the unit around to rebuild my fan hub and fix a cold water leak around my thermostat housing. Noticed I've gotten extra anal about leaks since I overhauled it and got that beautiful cat yellow sprayed. :)
