    Not even sure I want to post this but...

    Got to work. Welded a hole shut on the bucket of the payloader. Boss said to fill it with water. He wanted us to check one of the tires on the payloader for a leak. This is where I knew my day was going down hill. Filled the bucket of the payloader full of water. Took off right rear tire of the payloader. Hooked a chain to it and lifted it with the forklift. Put tire in the water in the bucket of the payload to find the small air leak in the tire so we could fix it. Found air leak. Pumped water out of bucket on the payloader so we didn't flood the shop. While that wasn't so bad I knew what it was leading up to.

    We've done payloader tires before and they are just no fun. Our tire bead breaker isn't big enough for the rims on the payloader. Boss keeps saying his is going to get us the bigger one but never does. So we do it the old fashion way. That didn't work on this tire. It is rusted on to the rim pretty bad. We fought it for a couple hours.

    Boss decides we should use the bucket on the payloader to break the bead. We've done it before on other tires that were tough. It works !! A little aggressive but it works.

    Now this is a little different though since it is the payloader tire and we have the payloader jacked up and blocked on the one side in back. I tell him it is not a good idea. He says he will be gentle. :rolleyes:

    He starts out gentle but eventually gets carried away and lifts the front of the payloader off the ground. We are waving at him to stop, but it is too late. Payloader tips blocks over and it crashes down on the one side. Was a gentle crash and only damage was to the blocks and poor jack.

    We finally decided it would be best if he hauled it to town where they had the proper tools to tackle the job. Trust me... by next week... he will order a bigger bead breaker. Oh and a new jack. :D

    The rest of the day, we spent working on a chassis container trailer that we shortened and redid the neck. We mounted our new fertilizer tender on it. That has been an interesting project. So far it has turned out pretty nice.

    Had a day off from hauling milk but still did business related work-

    Got some parts for my milk truck.
    Went to a farmers place and fixed his tank washer for him (not part of my job but I do this stuff anyway cause It needs to be done).
    Got a new cell phone for the one employee who works for me
    Ordered some more fuel filters for my milk truck (stupid bio diesel). :mad:
    Worked on my milk truck last night when It got home. Had some light trouble.

    It was an easy 8 hour day. :)

    got snowed out, big storm hit Minneapolis. Usually, I wouldn't mind having a day off, except for the fact that now that most of the frost is out of the ground every builder known to man (who didn't want to pay frost charges) is calling us wanting us there 3 days ago. we have a ridiculous amount of water and sewers to install...

    Went to dentist. Got home and blew snow. Went to work and ran the skunk trap line in the machine shed. No skunks caught. :mad: Worked on a tractor, did some welding and drilling. Went to town and got parts for the tractor and seed discs for my brand spanking new 60' planter.

    Tomorrow I will be welding the fenders on the fertilizer tender trailer. Hoping to nab the skunk or skunks in the machine shed so I can bring the live traps home and catch a couple feral tom cats. I am going to enjoy killing both of them. :mad: Oh and the skunk that was running the snow banks by our house and the neighbor's last night. I was out having a peaceful smoke and he walked by me in the dark. He had the nerve to raise his tail at me... warning me not to mess with him. I am messing with him... it is on !!! Well it is on as soon as I can get the live traps.

    I need a brave or fairly insane volunteer to help me.



    I will be the guy doing the distracting. :p

    Woke up to a skunk in the live trap. Got ready for work and had the wife find me an old blanket. Hide behind the blanket and walked up to the trap. Skunk didn't seem too amused but didn't get too alarmed. Ever so gently... I dropped the blank over the trap.

    Picked the trap up and walked it over to the truck and put it in the back. So far so good. Bounced out of town ( roads are really rough from the snow melt ). Drove out two miles on the way to work and found a likely release spot. I figured by now the skunk was probably getting a little agitated.

    Boss's wife drove by. I waved. She waved.

    Got out of the truck and gently lifted the trap/blanket out of the back of the truck. Was just clearing the back of the end gate with the trap about 2 feet in front of my face ( arms out stretched... way out stretched !!!! )... when my phone starts ringing. Scared the crap out of me thinking it was going to scare the crap... eeerrrr piss out of the skunk. I hurrily put the trap on the ground and backed up.

    Call was from the boss's wife and she was wondering if I was having vehicle problems. I told her no, I drive a Ford. She laughed. Told her I could use some help releasing a skunk. She laughed again and said... NOOOO !
    !!

    Skunk was released unharmed to go on his merry way. It was short lived... I shot him once he got about 20 yards. :lol:

    At work I welded a fuel tank that cracked. Managed to not blow the shop up. Had to laugh when the boss pulled his truck out of the shop before I started. :dan: I was living on the edge today. :rolleyes: First a skunk and then welding a fuel tank. I spent the rest of the day working on the new planter.
