    @shooter19802003 when I was at Stites hardware getting the lumber the young guy there was overwhelmingly helpful. Then 2 of them came out and loaded the truck. When I left I said thanks! He said "no, thank you for purchasing here and keeping us open and me a job".

    Yes it is nicer when the hood tips forward. My 89 model tips forward, and the white 87 & yellow 88 do not. The 88 & 89 both have the V8 diesel….

    Well, I got it back to the house
    We'll see what happens next. He said the spindle has some slight wear on the bottom. He said if this doesn't work we'll have to see what's next. He mentioned a new spindle and Hub. We'll see. The service manager is actually a pretty good guy and so are the parts guys. Good mechanics are hard to find and I have yet to locate one.

    Last time I was there, there were two gals trying to help me. One was like 13 and the other like 50ish. The girl was just jabbering my ear off and the other gal was kinda chucking at it. I went to the log place next door to try and get some filler. They didn't have any said they could order it. Cool. 2 weeks later they call and said no go. OK? However, there is some other stuff they suggested I try. Ok...no problem. Again, w weeks later and they can't get that either. I try hard to keep my money local. I shop alot at early bird here in town. I really like those guys. However, at the end of the day, I only have so much time and money......so I go where I can get the best deal. I'm not driving all the way to Lewiston to save $20, but I will for $200 and they have it in stock. I also go out of my way to buy things from the coop here. I try to buy most of my feed and Fencing through them.

    First thing I got a solo flight in. I might have been 16. Drove before that, but Dad was with me.


    Gas was under .90 cents.

    I was in Owens Town Ontario, 2-3am empty following a plow. Every so often he pulled over, so did I. Finally after a few hours in the middle of no place there is a Tim Hortons and nothing else.. He stops on the road. I pull over. He walks up and says Mister you following me, Yep, yea I am. Your a plow, I have never been on this road, and not in a hurry. I said now let's go get a coffee. Came out and waited for him to roll. I was in no hurry on a new road in the middle of a storm with a plow escort.

    Certain he was unsure how to take me.
