It wasn't that long ago that we had no diesel in my town or in any bordering town. I used to have to drive to a truck stop 3 exits down the interstate... which, by the way, is no longer in business.Keith_B said:

Oh, they are certainly here... and in growing numbers as they become something of a status symbol... but it's not at all like down South and in other more rural parts of the country. I remember my first deployment to hurricane country in 2004 when I was shocked to see that nearly every working heavy-duty pickup truck was a diesel... most of them dually's! Seeing a heavy-duty gasoline-power pickup truck actually doing cleanup and recovery work was a real hoot!Keith_B said:

I hurt my left foot rather badly a couple weeks back and have been about 90% out of commission since then. It had nothing to do with the tractor or work... but it's backed me up terribly. Even now, I can barely walk and can't stand for more than maybe 15 minutes at a time. Had to cancel one paying job outright and indefinitely postpone another. My next scheduled work isn't until the week of the 27th.

But that doesn't keep me off of the Big Red Beast. Well, this one has really slowed me down.bindian said:Dougster,

I ain't no kid anymore! And everytime I try to do something, I seem to make it worse. Been using the "Half Red Beast" here and there... but only around the yard.
