    There are lots of farmers that this years heat and drought will break them. The drought is not new. It started about 2 years ago so add another year of crop and cow loss. Asking your readers to pray for them if they are turned that way. You and yours stay safe and havagudun.

Well parking late at night gravel parking lot may be all that is available? I enjoyed the road video especially the feed lots. I always enjoy driving by them in Kansas.

    Hey you would make a great bull rack hauler with that smooth shifting you always do. But I think you have a better job of hauling the beef in the cold box. I have done a lot of the Bull and pork and sheep and goats hauling in the past. Give that nice copilot of yours a nice belly rub for me. Keep it on the top side up.

    Can you imagine what the Dust Bowl was like? The dust killed many by clogging their lungs causing pneumonia . Thank you for taking the scenic route. People are in such a hurry that they bypass downtown and miss out on some amazing things. Taking the slower scenic route can be very uplifting. I think the camera has made you look at things differently and notice more of the interesting things. Safe travels and God bless.

It was definitely a both hands on the wheel kinda day. Thank you for all those hundreds of miles driven getting the goods 2 us. Remember: If you got it. A trucker brought it.

Smooth as butter like no other. There is not any movement on the hood torquing over when you shift gears. Much fuel saving going on. It not how fast it took you to get up to speed but what it took in fuel to get you there. Anyhow nice video Kurt, have a great and a safe day, happy trails.
