    Not looking to good here. Gonna be playing truck driver tomorrow and Wednesday. Going up to Columbus OH to pick up ROPS for my b7100 Kubota tractor. A TW member has them and it will give me a chance to see how I can do on long distances after my back surgery.

    I still use a lumbar pillow in the work rig and it's been over 15 years since my back surgery. It helps. Get one for your trip.

    Pulled a muscle in my back lifting a tool box top chest yesterday while rearranging my garage. Forgot I'm not a young man anymore. Good thing I'm not working today.

    Glad your back is doing better, mine isn't yet. OK when I'm laying down, or sitting in the truck, not standing or walking.
    Rained all nite, supposed to rain all day and again tomorrow.
    Be safe drivers..

    11 hours today, blew another airbag on the trailer lift axle again. Plugged the air line to get it back to campus and get unloaded. Probably have to take it to service in the morning. I had down pressure it just wouldn't go up.

    Back was feeling a little better until I had to swap trailers. Landing gear on the old 3 axle sucks! It's hard even with a healthy back. But there getting rid of it as soon as the new trailers are ready, graphics, etc.
