Friday - late afternoon

A few things to discuss here. First I was over at the property hacking down tall grass in the front 5 with the Big Boy.  The man I pay to help me was out there attempting to hack down tall weeds next to the ditch.  He started talking about borrowing a weed eater with solid blades on it but his friend is using it. Well, no rush, it can wait so you can get it done easier. No big deal there, people from a tree cutting service were cutting limbs back on the property along where the power lines run.  I knew they were going to be doing that but I asked anyway lol. I got a lot of mowing done today, that was good. 

The trucking job.  Now they have found even more things wrong with it, ordered the parts but they aren't in yet.  Just how much money are they going to spend on that machine?  I'd love to find out.  I'm guessing at least 20k for all of it including parts and labor.  The discussion was that there is a truck sitting up there that I could use. Yes, you mean the one that I came up for several Sundays ago and the AC wasn't working? And it was going to be real feel in the 100's so I went  home? 

That took him by surprise, he didn't know I had come up there for that for he was out sick at the time.  I am not going to come up there for that truck, we discussed yesterday about Monday and I have plans this weekend. Which I do, nothing I couldn't abandon but I seriously don't want to drive that other truck. It''s a ridiculous pile of junk. Gutless, super singles, everything I hate in a truck? It has it. 

Well then he said that even after the parts come in, it still has to be aligned.  Yup and there is an alignment shop in our town, many of the major trucking companies use it. So that was sort of settled, I can go get the truck and take it there for the alignment. How I am going to get up there is another story altogether.   They can come get me, perhaps hitch a ride with another driver, take a bus, I dunno.
