    All good and done. Rates have been trash so I stayed busy at the house.

    Finally got a few guys to shake the money tree. In NE now headed for a delivery in Casper, then grab some hay for N Texas.

    Manifold bolts..... Ugh....

    In all my life, I've never broken a 60S exh man bolt. I'll be dahmned if I didn't on mine. Of course, oxy/acet tanks were about empty.

    A PITA,

    75 degrees at 8:00 last night while we were eating. Sucks about the curb, hopefully pride was the only thing hurt. Burnt end at the Sapp Bros in Harrison Mo. Getting this BBQ thing taken care of now, don’t know when I’ll be back this way.

    Only in Texas does it snow 1 week then push 90 degrees the next week. Glad to be back in AZ . Now if we can get this crap off the trailer tomorrow, and put the house in the windshield

    Loaded some steel out in Laredo going to Gillette, ran out of hours and had to take my 10 at the shipper. Got woken up by border patrol chasing some border hopers. A sight you don’t see every day. Had to put one in the chamber and load another magazine just in case.

    I’ve heard that from many people. I don’t mind if money makes sense. Used to come down here more often 6 month ago or so.

    Honest question: do citizens or permanent resident aliens have anything to be concerned with? My question is honestly intended to be apolitical, and I am just curious to know if there has been a tremendous change in the last couple of weeks.
