He's been ready to tell someone about his truck! Ran everything right off !😅

[@randyhopkins9114]

"And now I'm just following a trash truck!".😅 It's just that you say that so casually, like you don't have anything better to do! Like that's your big goal in life, is to follow that trash truck the rest of your life, while another trash truck is hot on your back bumper!..😅😂🤣 Take care Dan, and always stay safe out there, and give BaileyGirl a big hug, and a treat for me!...🤗💖🐶🚛👍

I really like the colr and paint job on that maroon Wingo truck you walked around...Would look excellent on your rig, too!!!

Agree with the pull in 100% if you can back straight back.I’ve always did it for 48 years, luckily I have a local job now don’t have to worry about truck stop parking👍🏻🇺🇸

Good deal on the older truck. Pretty cool

[@maxpuppy96]

I agree that nosing into a spot is much better, thats what I did for the same reason. Plus it is quieter and the parking lot lights are not shining into the truck.

Safe travels. Love ❤❤❤ Miss Bailey❤❤❤. Give her a hug, smooches, & scratches behind each ear. Glad to be home from knee replacement & rehab, now for the outpatient rehab.

[@timatwell3728]

Hope the rehab goes well and you get back to your normal routine I've put off the knee replacement for several years and it's getting to the point of not walking much but we don't have any good Drs close to me so I'm to the point of going a long way from home to get it done but again good luck to you

[@jamessimms415]

@@timatwell3728 Thanks. This is the second knee replacement in three months, had the first in late April. Unfortunately, my remaining dog passed while I was in rehab for the first knee. He came to me as a rescue who’d been abused & abandoned. He had to be left home for a week in Jan ‘23 while I had the chinese flu & pneumonia. Even though he was 13 & had some underlying conditions, I can’t help but think he felt ‘abandoned’ a third time. It’s been too quiet for the past several months but I didn’t want to adopt then have to place a dog in boarding so soon after adoption. It’ll be another couple of months before I’ll feel able to adopt

Dan since you carry a meter with you. If you switch to ohms on the meter with the wiper pump disconnect you should get approximately 5 ohms across the terminals mounted on pump….when you buy your next if you check you ohms it will give you a value for your old tickle trunk..

Hey Dan diesel at the Kum&Go in Iowa on I-35 south of Des Moines at exit 43 is 3.13$ a gallon and there is two turn ins to the station and semi’s want to take the second turn into the station and there is 6 pumps for semi’s and you can easily go around the back of the station and go back out the first drive that would be the first drive into the station!!! Very easy in and out for semi’s for sure and there is also parking for semi’s for overnight witch is very rarely full!!! Great place for overnight parking if you ever need a spot to stay and the station is open 24hours also!!! If you have a Kum&Go reward card you can get another.02$ off per gallon of fuel also!! Just thought I’d let you know buddy!!!

When I was running over the road, the old Cherokee Truck Stop that was there at Big Cabin was where I ran out of for Franks and Son. He owed the Truck Stop and Trucking company. Stay safe and God bless. Dan 🇺🇸

[@HighOctane-wo6cm]

Dang … you old school . I remember Franks & Sons from way back

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. I don’t know how the drivers do it today. Every where you are able to park there is not much available after 7 PM. Plus everyone parks on top of each other. It’s funny , no not really, they can put a man on the moon but not look after the guys that keep the economy rolling along. Truck drivers should be treated so much better. Garbage food at many truck stops. I would love to build a proper truck stop, where you get home cooked meals, ample parking, clean rest rooms and showers and the driver gets the respect he deserves. If ya don’t drive a rig, can’t come in, and if drivers don’t respect the place they will be refused entry. Daniel your Pete and the Dorsey look fantastic. Your one professional cowboy. Thanks for posting. Have a great and a safe day, happy trails to you, D…

Gas pipes. My guess is for the methane from the landfill.

[@denisroger856]

Dan , the plug on the pump must remain connected when you measure , because otherwise you could find a résidual current that does not have the intensity required for proper opération , this is to avoid a diagnostic error . just a suggestion.

That truckstop has been around for 50plus years it use to be owned by Frank&Sons trucking back in the day unfortunately things turned for bad times for the trucking industry closed the trucking Co. And sold the truck stop that use to be the place to stop at at back in the 70's and 80's use to be the place to stop and eat or pick up a woman I remember that place very well if you was hauling a big oversized load that's where you'd shut down for the night

That’s a brine pond you delivered to where you at? I used to build brine ponds all over the United States. Brine water is used to move gasses thought the pipelines. Brine water is very dense works grate to move natural gas from underground storage caverns.

[@chickey333]

I believe that was Venice Park Landfill in Michigan and the pipe was probably used for their gas collection system or sump leachate collection system. Just a guess...

[@donharper7759]

@@chickey333 based on those berms it could be gas collection for the landfill. I’ve installed those also back in the 90s. But seeing those berms just reminded me of the brine ponds I most recently built. But HDPE pipe is widely used in landfills for leachate collection and methane gas collection so you could be right…

[@chickey333]

@@donharper7759 I saw the "DR-5" written in chalk on the pipe and figured that's some pretty thick stuff for gas collection but maybe. We used to use SDR-11 for leachate riser pipe back in the old days and figured well maybe. And I've been out out of it for awhile so you just may be right as well. I am right about the location... been there many times. Thanks...

@@chickey333 yes we used sdr11 back in the landfills in the 90s also. That sdr5 is used when going under ground or under a berm like was there on that site. That’s what made me think brinepond.
