Don, let's carpool. That Ford has to be able to handle a ton in the bed and 3 ton on a 10K trailer right? If not I'll pull your truck with mine.

Now all I need is 3 weeks vacation....wait....who needs a job or a vacation if you have a trio of events like that?

WOW

California has some strict new laws on bringing fruit across the state line. All large fruit weighing over 1500 pounds will be quarantined for a 14 day period in a very hot and humid chamber before being released. We've been having a problem with a particular pest that is threatening indigenous crop. An alternative to the quarantine is a re-route to Hoffman Farms in Oregon.
