I'm here, wasn't yesterday.  Be back later to tell about my evenin' out on the town.
Decided I must be gettin' old, Rita won tickets to a concert from the local country station, ended up at a Rock and roll concert.  Wasn't bad at all, but Jackson Browne's words about "The echos of the amplifers still ringing in my ears" came to mind on the way home.

Happy Birthday Miz Annie.

went and got me another electric motor for the feedline,  got it hooked up and it ran like a sewing machine.

coming back up the mountain,  we got hung up for about an hour.  a semi with a track hoe was coming up and on the sharpest curve it went up before the trailer came up,  it would lift the weight off the rear wheels of the truck and they'd spin,  he'd back up and try gettin in a different postion,  nothing worked,  finally he got it backed down enough to let us go past,  don't know it he got it up or not,  it's a mile back down to the bottom.,  so that wasn't an option,  guess I'll find out later.

a coupla of us in line got out and walked up to where he was,  he didin't say where he was from, but he was kinda pissed,  his dispatcher had given  him a printout of directions to where he was going,  this was the shortest route,  but sure not the best way for that kind of load,  but it would have added about 40 extra miles.
I don't know what he was going to do, looked to me like the best way was drive the track hoe off, pick up the rear of the trailer and get over that hump, load her back up and get going.  
the way it was loaded it sure was low to the ground and up that mountain needs a little clearance.

I've often found the shortest way ain't the best way. Grin

There are a lot of gravel roads up here that would have been better than the way they sent him.

I've seen 2 or 3  Tyson feed trucks turn over right at that same curve,  it's just a bad spot
