It looks like you got a stump grinder. Have you made it?

Morning update:

everything went well, just as I expected except for the storm which added 3 hours to the trip.

was going to update this thread last night, but I lost cell service for the last 60 miles or so around the hotel, and unfortunately their wifi was out as well.

But all in all, it was a good trip, and now continues the journey home. Should get back in about 14 hours.

Here's a pic of when I park it next to their other JD tractor.

Man that's a lot better weather where you left it compared to what you drove through!

TSO,
Glad you made it safely. Were you able to find the car wash? Sorry to here that our wifi was down. We have been having problems with it for last month. Was the food at our restaurant good?

Actually, because of my cell signal going down, I never got your message until today about the carwash.... I did however find one on the way, I think one or two exits before yours. Never got to eat at the restaurant either, I was so tired when I got in that I went right to bed. Woke up to date, used the gym for a few minutes, stopped at the continental breakfast (which was good) and then headed back out..

Very nice hotel though. Easily the nicest hotel mattress I've ever slept on. If I could have folded it up and fit it in my backpack, I might have taken it home with me lol.

Thanks again, very smooth transaction, inclement weather notwithstanding.
