@DarrelWaldnee I used the middle hopper for the sake of the divider walls.

New to a 3 hopper. My guess is 9 mt in the front, 4 mt in the center and 18 in the back hopper. How do you all load those?

Washbay report….. melted the ice washed off the salt,sand,dust and mud… and cleaned the bugs off…. Slow season transition!

It’s a great ship door open type of day!

Flood west of Town, apparently snow geese enjoy.

Thinking of getting into eye glasses repair.

@bickner_b Weight is Almost all off.

Cold clear, heavy snow, sunny warm incredible icy. Then highways wet all in one Day. Hauling Canola.

Meet unit 285 , David and dealer been working on this spec sometime. But it is here and ready to go. DD 13 525 1850, autoshift, 2.85, 60mph 1100 od, 1400 direct, full of fuel looking at 17.5 mt will get more. Eapu, bunk, and motor heaters, also park AC. Will interesting to see how it goes. Good luck David.

2022 Volvo tipped on its side when unloading side dump. 600,000 km. Runs and drives fine. Just needs a cab. $30,000.

@HenryBurris @Stampeders1945 Congratulations Henry!

@Stampeders1945 Beyond honored and thankful Canada provided the opportunity to grow as a man! Forever in debt to the cities of Calgary, Regina, Hamilton, and Ottawa. My family miss you all and know this wouldn’t have been possible without you guys!!! Cheers!!!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH CFHOF QB Henry (Hank) Burris played 10 years with Calgary Stampeders 1998-2000, 2005-11 and was MVP in winning 2008 Grey Cup. He threw 203 passes, most ever in Calgary, and is second to Bo Levi Mitchell in yardage 32,192, attempts 3677 and completions 2267.

Below is a very lengthy explanation as to why the AirDog @pureflowtech is not only awesome but in my opinion necessary. I copied this from Clint Bankston owner of Paramount repair shop. Diesel fuel is not only an energy source; it also functions as a critical lubricant within the fuel system. Many fuel system components—particularly high-pressure pumps and injectors—are designed with extremely tight internal tolerances and rely on the lubricating properties of diesel fuel to prevent metal-to-metal contact. As fuel passes through these components, it creates a thin lubricating film that reduces friction, dissipates heat, and limits wear. When adequate fuel flow and pressure are present, this lubrication is continuous and consistent, allowing components to operate within their intended design parameters. Problems arise when fuel supply becomes restricted or inconsistent. Low inlet pressure, air intrusion, or partial fuel starvation can cause components to momentarily run “dry” or with insufficient fuel volume. In these conditions, the lubricating film breaks down. Friction increases rapidly, temperatures rise, and internal surfaces—such as pump plungers, cam lobes, and injector barrels—begin to scuff or gall. Even short periods of inadequate lubrication can initiate premature wear that later results in hard starts, poor performance, or complete component failure. The addition of a dedicated lift pump directly addresses this risk. A lift pump ensures a constant, positive supply of fuel from the tank to the high-pressure fuel pump at all operating conditions. By maintaining stable inlet pressure and adequate fuel volume, the lift pump eliminates the possibility of fuel system components running dry. This steady flow keeps internal parts fully wetted with fuel, preserving the lubricating film that protects against friction and heat. Beyond lubrication, a lift pump also helps purge air from the fuel system and reduces cavitation at the high-pressure pump inlet. Cavitation not only disrupts fuel delivery but also damages internal surfaces through micro-implosions. By preventing these conditions, the lift pump extends the service life of the high-pressure pump, injectors, and associated components. In effect, adding a lift pump transforms fuel delivery from a marginal supply system into a controlled, protective system, significantly improving reliability and durability of the entire fuel system.

Head back tomorrow , was a good trip!

Well we presented! Awards tonight! See how it goes!

@therealballsy Condolences to you and your family.

@BradWall306 Look good to me. Just Brad! Lol. Happy New Year! May be we’ll bump into you again flying in and out of great falls.

My annual attempt to do justice to my Mom’s recipe for portzelky (low German new year’s cookies). These are a little ragged compared to hers but I know she would be cheering me on. Very thankful that she took the time to teach me. Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
