Then we got that Winter of 2012-13 and I burned everything I could find it was so cold. I am starting to get a good reserve built up once again now but my long term estimates have changed needless to say.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-22974939764681256992015-10-06T21:26:55.735-04:002015-10-06T21:26:55.735-04:00DH - well it would have been a long haul but possi...DH - well it would have been a long haul but possible. I did think about losing the trailer on the flat ground and just going up and down with the truck. My cutting buddy, also known as my Dad, convinced me that was too much work. Not the first time he has almost gotten me killed :)<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-22014532191971148462015-10-06T09:11:26.475-04:002015-10-06T09:11:26.475-04:00PP,

Sometimes it's not worth being free however, doing this identified you had a problem with the truck.

Certainly nothing that steep in my part of Missouri. We have a lot of steep hills but when they build roads they knock em down. I guess the limestone makes it more affordable.<br /><br />Ya I needed to get them fixed. It looked like one of the metal hoses that exploded though.

Just as well they went there than on the downgrade on the way home. I wish someone would gift me a pile of oak already cut up & seasoned.
