    That coffee guy does what i do, Paying it Forward, I sell the hay and silage to feedlots at top dollar plus delivery. With the family farmers they pay a quarter of the cost plus free delivery, just makes me feel good. Safe travels..
    Edit; the storms your way even made the news down here and yes it was depicted that all trucks caused the mayhem.
