Not So Pro 3

Real trucks don’t shift themselves.

I’m not complaining. I enjoy having a manual transmission. Odometer reads 399,7++ miles and still going up everyday. Good service life if you ask me. Next one should last even longer now with me taking care of it and performing routine maintenance. When I changed oil in it initially, it already had brass from the synchros and was dark - likely had been overlooked by the previous owner most of its life.

then you turned it into one of those squatted ones ?

the standard transmissions in those scummers are geared way low you will be in third gear before you are 25 mph

You know what they say: “If it’s too loud, you’re too old.”

I was thinking that.

Read CO detectors have a 5 to 7 year life expectancy.

Morning crew. Still pouring this AM. Weatherbroad said we got over 2 inches of rain just yesterday, I'm sure the total is higher now. Basement is still dry, only a little bit of water in the garage. Creek in the backyard is just over the banks and turning the yard into a marsh. The chickens seem to be enjoying it though.

Good morning men, day! For some reason I am walking around smiling a lot lately. Grandchildren do that to you I guess. Dallas will find out when his two sons have kids.

Did you introduce them to their aunt and uncle goats?

Glad to see the bed wetters have got up and changed the sheets. Hopefully gramps can hear the bubba yelling at home today in the shop. We don’t need another er visit.

Yes, he says goats, goats, goats. But then calls them puppies when he chases them. Lol

You’re not wrong. Nice when needed, but not needed very often - at least with daily driving. Different if I was hauling trailers most days.

I was asleep by 0200, and up at 0630. No....I don't feel great. Maybe....just maybe, I am getting old.

Morning tent pitcher's, sunshine is gone, cloudy with the chance of rain today, gotta go see the tax man, GFY uncle Sam & the alphabet gang, not looking forward to it, got a few estimates to give after that, and a couple small maintenance jobs.

You’re right, but what does that have to do with how the NV4500 is geared?

lol how often are you pulling a heavy trailer of 10000 or more lol
im sure your bed is full of fuel tank and saws like most loggers but nothing extremely heavy where the low gearing is needed
