    As we were going out for dinner last night, Miz Carol noticed an unauthorized mechanic checking out the brakes and rotors on the right front tire. He didn't know the car has less than 1200 miles on it... 0512221804.jpg

    I had a big limb on the ground yesterday that curved upwards. I was putting small limbs on the fire. When I was backing up, it came up above the counterweight and I heard a crunch...:headbang::headbang::headbang:
    So days:picard::picard:...
    Looks like I need to place an order with Messicks...:emptywallet::emptywallet: 0516221254.jpg

    I felt good enough to fix one of the whoops on the tractor today.
    The poor step has been stepped on by a fat kid...:whistle::whistle:since 2007, and been bent from various limbs hitting it. 0519221651.jpg
    Ordered a new one when we got the oil, filters and new fan belt.
    This time, we added a piece of angle iron underneath for more support. 0519221652.jpg
    Got it bolted on. Really want to build a heavier frame around it. 0519221655.jpg

    A while back I was asked to quote a replacement rack and hydraulic system, this was what I had to go on. Had to argue to even get this in for a day to check it out. Other than the idea of what it was and how it worked, no real helpful information came from it. In its pre-burnt down days it had a hydraulic rack and roller system to dispense cured in place pipe from totes inside the truck out to the worksite. Apparently the reefer unit had started the fire on this one

    We have an NDA, so I can't say much...But your guess is good. Not sure what the answer is , but the dryer that exploded had blast doors that were launched hundreds of yards, so we believe some kind of gas, possibly methane was ignited. Way more pressure than the dryer and its blast doors were designed to take.

    Luckily the plant was not in operation and there were no injuries!
