    Small fleet. It takes only 1 bonehead driver to sink a small fleet. My number one priority in life would be to get my truck back. But, I am getting this weird sense of hesitation.

    Perhaps the truth is the reason why OP hesitates?

    I just saw the Waffle House Wendy thing on Twitchy.
    I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.
    Girls got skills.

    Couple more salvage units off Sanibel Island.
    Crazy to think about, but there was seaweed on top of the cabs.! Completely submerged.. :confused:

    Obviously I'm no rotator operator, but almost 5hrs to load these seemed a little excessive.. o_O Why I didn't picture the skiddy, the sun had set.. lol

    JCB 507-42 telehandler
    JCB 3TS-8T telescopic skid loader
    Quite nifty actually, never noticed one till now..

    I had the same thing happen on a C model Cat 10 years or so ago. When the bushing fell out it lost oil pressure though. At an idle it would only build 3 or 4 psi.

    I loved that routing, too. Would always opt for that route if given a choice....and since I made a lot of trips from Dallas, TX area to Umatilla, OR at the time, it was a regular route choice, scenic and I had my regular known stopping areas enroute. :)

    Yeah I don't try 70 or 80 much in the winter unless I absolutely have to. I go the same way as you through Cortez and Moab on up through Price.

    Hopefully come January I can get surgery scheduled and get the pain from my lower back and legs gone. The only reason I am able to still work is because sitting is the only thing that doesn't hurt. On good days I can hump it while loading or unloading for about 30 minutes before I start to hurt. On bad days its a pain just to walk. I'm looking forward to getting this fixed for sure.
