Weed B Gon is your friend. Dandelions are way bad this year due to the drought. Easily taken care of though.

Now that damn crabgrass is another story. My front yard has none but the backyard has a few patches I need to yank out.

Some may remember me talking about the abundance of diesel fuel sitting at my work that had to leave. The total fuel was approx 5000 gallons. My boss called the other day and told me that they forgot to suck out approx 2500 gallons of fuel in the boiler, and to have at it if I want it. Talked to my dad who conveniently has 2 500 gallon farm tanks that are empty. There is also another empty 200 gallon tank sitting in my back yard right now. I will be making trip after trip after trip for the next couple days which is about 80 miles each way just to get this fuel. I have loaded up in my truck another empty 200 gallon slip tank and a 10 gallon per minute pump which will be my transport rig.

I will have lots of fuel to drive my old 6 deuce to work and back come fall lol.

I remember. Nobody else seemed to give a squat lol. That will net yuh quite a savings! That stuff is $$$$. Well, as long as it doesn't cost to much to transport it all

It would be nice to get it in a couple trips. I'd see about renting a tanker or a fuel service to reclaim it and deliver. How much can you haul yourself ? Guessing, you might be able to haul 400 gallons w/2 good size bed tanks. That might be pushing it lol. - and If you have a couple that big. Average bed tank here is 125 gallons.

Good luck.

Morning.

Hey Gotts, you want to sell 500 or so gallons or so at $1.99/gal?? That's a lot of diesel for free and I think if I had the chance at that I would have built my own tank farm and 5th wheel tanker to get it if I had the chance at something like that.

The more I see these the more I love them. I think I'm reaching the point where I'd take it over an new F-150. I'd lose the rear exhust bumper tho for a regular one. I think their quality is going to be much much better. Saw a thing on 60 minutes, the new CEO spent 16 billion on the plants to improve quality since they new it was poor.

I was too shocked to even comment. He spent too much time at Pep Boys after watching that video. Needs a truck to put it all on.
