80ºF at 7:30 AM, about 80% RH, was all loaded up, rubber track loader, 4 attachments, gonna go grind stumps, and play in the dirt, about 20 mins away... Turned the key on the Isuzu NPR, and alls I got was a click... OK, called the cust, told her I would try to fix it, just hang on... Easiest fix is to slap a new set of batteries on her, so I pull off the dead ones, head off to town, new set in stock, a little more CCA's in the same size box, so all is as good as can be fer $260. About an hour later, and 5 more degrees of heat and humidity, and off I go! Pull onto the highway ramp, about quarter of a mile from home, thought I saw something funny, in the right mirror. keep lookin, see the front right trailer tire hadda blowout... Crap, this is getting old! Limp down the busy highway to a shady spot, near the end of the ramp, set out 4 or 5 cones, unstrapped the RTL, back off the end of the trailer, get the stump grinder, right over the strap ring, run a chain through, get out the spare, loosen lugs, get back in the RTL, lift the trailer up, nuff to swap out the tire, put alla the crap back where it belongs, pack up, strap down, and off I goes again! 28 minutes I rather not relive, but I perservered, and overcame. Rest of the job was a cake walk, and with the bills, I made about $30/hr. Oh well, at least some speedin Ahole didn't run me over! tomorrow's another day, thank the good lord above...

| i was mowing the road ditch the other day and heard a LOUD bang behind me...someone pulling a flatbed trailer blew out a tire....was THAT YOU? don't remember what he was hauling, it was hot and after he got the shreaded tire/wheel off i told him he could just put a tube in it! when i got back to the area of the house, i went in and got him a Solo cup of ice and a bottle of water, but when i got back out there he was gone already! oh well, i enjoyed the cold water on the mower. |
