CHANGE OF PLANS...

gonna wake up the trucks get them ready to go uh take the tanker off get hooked up to the hopper bottom we're probably gonna just do the 86 for tonight though got to get that one down that's a 1986 359 with a 3406 v on 13 speed yeah this is the truck that we're working on now it's a 1986 peterbilt 34 years old still running great you won't find any government juice tanks on this baby that's 3406 b i got it turned up to around five five and a quarter 13 speed not a lot of leg room in here but it's a fun truck to drive don't see that corvette dash and trucks anymore that's pretty cool well bear he's happy this morning he's got his bone treat that's a good thing i didn't unhook the tanker last night i got a call from a pipeline company i got a haul and water to pressure test the uh natural gas line we gotta take them four loads 24 000 gallons of water do that tomorrow i suppose i better check the oil and i have to take a break from getting ready for harvest just never know phone rings and you just never know what you're gonna get into i'd say the oil is good for now i gotta change it anyway down just a little bit not bad it'll run okay i got the oil checked tires all checked rinsed it off a little bit and we are filling with water this one here is a 96 peterbilt with a detroit 60 series detroit 10 speed doesn't quite have the power the cat has but gets a lot better gas mileage six and a half compared to four four and a half now a lot tankers filling up with water i'm gonna go most more driveways so we know where the edges are so we don't roll a semi over cleaning up some waterways i got some water hemmed down on the low ground that's just been a really tough weed we got delayed on spring because of that that camber debacle should have sprayed it sooner and it was so hard to find days that uh you could spray it these are 1.9 beans planted may 6th they're actually coming along really well except the hills are hills are dry and but then you've got the streaks going down through the draws that are still wet we're getting close i'd say probably the first part of next week we'll be cutting some beans i was wondering what you guys think do you pick beans or cut beans i uh cut beans and i pick corn so it'd be fun to hear what you guys think what do you guys say well these are a uh two two maturity and you can tell they're a lot a lot greener than the one nines and they're laid over pretty bad wind and rain we had finally got some rain and of course it had to lay everything over but after seeing all the damage in central iowa and the hurricanes hearing about them losing their crops i'm not going to complain about anything this year all we have is issues we don't have problems we're we've been really really lucky so far i'll take lodge beans that's better than not getting anything now they're finally ready at the pipeline instead of 9 30 they moved it to a 2 30. so i'll get her fired up and head out to the head out to the pipeline job well i'm at the pipeline area but uh they said just hang out on the road they aren't ready yet so stay tuned i guess got the tanker back there unloading at the pipeline gonna be a late night got a few more loads to go so what they do is they weld the pipes together all the ends on them fill them with water and they pressure test them to 2500 pounds per square inch to check the strength of the steel in the tubes and then when they're done they got to cut it all apart and install and retest it again about 4 000 gallons worth of water in these pipes well fill in load number three for the pipeline i don't know i think this load might do it i'm not sure they told me four loads to begin with but it might be three stay tuned i gotta have the hard hat on for this job [Music] pipeline load number three good morning it's uh 3 30 3 30 a.m gotta go back to the pipeline place i need uh another thousand gallons of water at uh they want me there at five o'clock so i'm just gonna take the pickup in the little tank today i guess they uh hook up to a pressure washer and force some more air out of the pipes so that they can get a better test because water pressure tests are different than air tests so they got to be more consistent so stay tuned activity at the pipeline this one waiting for the guys to show up so we can get this load of water unloaded i forgot to film when they were here with the tank but a little update we got the new tank in here should have 4 500 gallons on hand so we should make it they should only have to come once a day for drying before they'd have to come twice so yeah that's we're looking good you
