Tank??? As in ARMY or as in Propane?

 

[viperhauler]

it's for a hatchery...so it's an oversized fish bowl, i suspect

yeah its just a fiberglass looking tank. sure i will snap a photo before the load is done. looks like a cup holder.

sitting in Hubbard Ohio tonight waiting on telephone polls coming in the morning on the way to NH. load to AR is done. i snapped one photo of the load and one of the pyramid. been a busy week. might just beet my record miles this week. got 2400 miles right now, adding 600 more to NH old record was 2800. but that was because the old record was stopped short my last trip thru AR when i stopped in hope on the way home for a few days.

also clicked past 250k on this car. when i get home i will put down my final mileage for the week.

a look at the boring aspect of escorting, tomorrow i will post one of escorting in a white out.

 

[silversnake]

has this ever happened to you?

 

[scoobert]

we got lots of woopsies photos circulating in our escort circle... my personal favorite is the one where the excavator tears thru the bridge.

 

[scoobert]
