    I've had excellent luck with it for years. Fleets, my equipment. Unless a employee put wrong clamp on, almost no failures for me.

    My cold water leaks is pretty minimal, but still might find one occasionally.

    @Isafarmboy think you twisters just rolled through my hood. No damage here yet, but here they touched down north of here. Had some quarter size hail. Couldn't you get them stopped?

    Well boys, I finally did it. I had back surgery on Tuesday morning. I had performed what is called an ALIF 360 on my L4, L5 and S1. I have been dealing with pain in my legs and my butt for almost 18 years which is dang near half of my life. I would like to say the reason I had the pain in my legs and my butt was because I was chasing my dreams as a professional baseball player. I was signed to play in a developmental league for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the summer of 2005 when I was injured before my report date and I had to stop playing baseball. I missed playing baseball but I had to make sure I could still walk and have a career to fall back on as a mechanic at the time.

    I've been in recovery for two days at Methodist Dallas and they let me go at about 530pm today and I am safely home now with my family to care for me. I have a great wife and a wonderful son who is so excited for me to be home now. He was really excited that his Daddy was finally getting his back fixed after all these years. I'll be out of the truck for a minimum of 6 weeks to two months but I am not going to push myself. I am going to do exactly what my neurosurgeon says for the best recovery and do my physical therapy to heal my body. That is my number one goal is to get healthy again and be pain free for the first time in over 18 years.

    Y'all be safe out on the big road and I'll see y'all soon in my red 2014 International ready to move some more freight around this country. IMG_20230609_161726.jpg
