long time since last post

Well I've been busy trying to keep my head above water, running as hard as I can. I can't complain about the frieght, or money. Just the expenses. Cost's seem to keep going up every day. there was a time that I thought a 3000$ week was a good week, now it's just about what I need to make any money, and thats not alot because for a 3g week, I'll burn 1500$ in fuel. That bites. With the looming financial debacle in washington, and wall street, I'm not sure what the future holds for trucking. If no one can barrow money, they can't build things, if they don't build things I can't haul it. If I can't haul it, I'll go fishing. (I've got to be a hunter-gatherer you know)
Were getting into my favorite time of the year, fall. I love the musky, earthy scent of fall, leaves, and cold air. Time for the trees and most of nature to rest for the winter. Wish I knew what crops to plant in the fall. I wish I'd have been a farmer. I love watching things grow, I'd have a machine shed, complete with welder, cutting tourch, nut and bolt bin, and I'd be building stuff, alot of stuff. Maybe in my next life.
I had planted a garden up at the farm the last week in may, alittle early for planting, but luckly enough, when the last two frosts came, they hadn't broken thru the ground, and I was there to cover them with black plastic. It would have done quite well if everything hadn't died out from lack of water. Next year I'll have a 300 gal water tote on a small tower near the garden with a drip system. Lots of water for the garden next year. I also have a well on the property, probably about 200 ft. from the garden. It's 300 ft deep, and water is up to 90 ft from the top. That means there is 210 ft of water in the well. Now, anyone know how to figure how many gallons that is?
L8ter, I need to watch the debates.

Instructions for reading this post.

Ok, after I put the pics up, I realized that you have to start with the old'st first, or just backwards of the way I did it. So, start from the bottom and read up. That will probably make more sence. (like anyone is reading this)

And here it is, all back together agian. All I need to do now is chain it down, and take it home. Well not home, but I can stop at home on my way to kingsford mi. to unload this gem.

Thru much pulling, pushing, and draging, we have it on the trailer. The wrecker has to park behind the trailer. We pull the cable out across the trailer and winch the truck onto the trailer. This truck doesn't run, so with out the power steering working, it took two of us to turn the wheel enough to steer this thing onto the trailer.

Here is the wrecker bringing the truck that doesn't run, to load onto the trailer. (very large wrecker)
