    Yuck,

    My saving grace will be that I'm not getting loaded till 1500 Monday... Hopefully will be hitting Atlanta and Houston after the afternoon rush of traffic... I'm grabbing US59 in Houston so can't loop it like I'd like...

    Houston's a bloody weird one I tell ya. Can occasionally roll through with traffic there with the medium jakes and not even touch the service brakes.. other times I'm looking at an hour to go 10 miles :mad:

    If it don’t work out you can always go back.


    Idk how many people ever thought this:
    Idk if it’s deep enough for @TripleSix but it applies to you @Rugerfan like it does most folks with something between their ears:

    You can always take steps backward in life. You won’t always have opportunies to step forward. If something isn’t working, change your direction, whether forward, backward or sideways.

    I can always get a job stocking shelves at a hardware store again.

    Good luck with your new gig. It's always tough leaving and easy to second guess.

    Made Kapuskasing. Needed 20 more minutes of driving time to make Hearst. Oh well, should make somewhere on the west side of the Manitoba border tomorrow, then a short jump home.

    @catalinaflyer @kylefitzy @stwik any idea how many trucks your company has? I saw 4 or 5 big loads at the truck stop in Knoxville the night before last. It was pouring down rain so I didn't get a real good look or chat with anyone. Looked like nice equipment.

    They're predicting snow along the I-70 corridor in Kansas this weekend. I've seen weather guesses (I mean forecasts:D) anywhere from a trace to 6-8".

    Yes Moose I was filling my new one today for the first time. They are specd by diameter and height. I told my builder I wanted a 24 ft diameter bin to fit on an existing concrete pad and a max peak height of 33 ft so my fill auger would reach.

Therefore the cheapest way is to build one bin to hold all your corn, another to hold all your wheat etc etc. there are other factors however like the footprint you have available on the ground but you get the idea.
