I have to pick my Daughter up on Friday's and wouldn't have made it back home in time. I didn't get back to my folks until after 4 and I'm 25 minutes south of them. I pick my daughter up between 3:30 and 4 on Friday's depending if I meet her mom or pick her IP from school. I ran up to Bryant yesterday killing time. That is one heck of a combine salvage yard up there.

oooh yeah, bryant is quite the metropolis. Theres a decent old style junkyard about 5 miles west of there. You should see the combine yard after harvest and they buy up all the ones that catch fire!

Well I hauled it out to the folks so I could work on it in the barn.

Wheels actually fit on my 9" which helps.

Yea I know what you mean. If Labs aren't given a lot of attention and trained the right way, they can be a mess. Or they can sleep 16 hours a day like mine does. :lol:

My black lab was the best garage companion. Never lifted a leg on a wheel, always laid beside the creeper when I was under a truck. I miss him a lot :(
