    Check with a couple of plumbing and heating contractors in your area for a takeout oil fired space heater we used to buy them for $20 back in the 80's and they work great for shop heaters fueled with used oil/diesel mix if you put a small fan above and behind. A 55 gal drum on its side with a tap into the vent bung and an elbow in the large bung for filling set outside 4ft above the fuel inlet to the stove can run for a couple months of intermittent use. And yes I did get treated for CO poisoning once when I spent 3 hours on my back under a car I was working on. A CO alarm is recommended.

    Felt good to spend the weekend at home. I was trying to run hard on Thursday to make it home before I ran out of hours and 45 miles from home, "BAM", shredded a trailer tire on the inside of the rear axle. This happened at 2:15am and the local police department pulled me over on Interstate 30 to let me know that several people called 911 to tell them that I was throwing sparks out of the back tires. Oops. Oh well. So, after sitting around and waiting for a roadside service truck that never arrived I cut through the steel belt with a pair of side cutters and a pair of vice grips. Took me two hours to get through it. Ugh. Finally got the cap loose and unwrapped from the axle and brake chamber do I could fix the air line and I drove 6 miles to the T/A to get a tire. Gina6msde it home Friday night at 700pm.

    Then, after all that transpired I ended up buy a different trailer that I scored a huge deal on. I picked up an all aluminum Reitnouer that only needed some maintenance and some minor repairs. It's in good enough shape that it's behind the KW and loaded with roofing paper rolls and I'm leaving Garland, TX for Urbancrest, OH. Be safe drivers. See ya on that big road!

    Today hot load might be less than profitable. Customer shares a driveway with this place.

    Came home to this. Nothing missing. I think a stray stone found my window. What a mess though. IMG_20211026_121608102_HDR.jpg
