    Lol, yeah it does look like the wheel came off.  Where it happened is a bit of a wide draw bottom, its a spot I've already driven through about half a dozen times.  Just hadn't driven over that exact spot yet, wish I hadn't.  I figured I was fine then I noticed the tractor sinking in a few inches, looked back and saw the sprayer just drop.  Whole thing happened in like 2 seconds.  

    I got out and just stared at the thing in horror and disbelief, thinking to myself  "I can't believe this just happened...."  I already gotten stuck a few times in the past couple days, but not like that.  

    That tire probably sunk down about 5 feet or so....it left a big hole.  

    The sprayer puts a LOT more pressure on the ground.  The reason the sprayer sunk and the tractor didn't is the tractor weighs about 34,000 on eight 20" wide tires.  The sprayer was full of fertilizer, which is heavy at about 11 lbs/gallon, so it was weighing about 25,000 lbs, most of which was being carried by two 18" wide tires.

     

    Getting the thing out didn't turn out to be too bad.  I drug a tank out there and pumped most of the fertilizer out of the sprayer.  Then I just drove forward nice and slow.  Sprayer was unscathed, thank God.  I learned my lesson and only filled the sprayer half full from there on out and was able to get everything finished today.  

    So, my stepdad has worked for the same farmer 27 years. The guys son also works on the farm, and he is a fuck stick. Do to his many fuckups he mostly handles the business side. My stepdad handles the operations, and the old guy is the old guy lol. So one of the sons fuck ups, he managed to bury an articulating tractor...to the fucking axles. Front and rear. I think it was a JD 9620. They had to have a crane come out to get it out. Some of his other crap, ripped the auger off a combine, dragged a grain trailer two miles to a field with the brakes locked, got loaded up, and dragged the mother fucked back, also overfilled a top dry bin multiple times. He's an idiot lol.

    Oh ok. I thought the transmission was causing the whole car to vibrate. My car shakes like crazy while idling. I can go 80 on the freeway and there's no crazy shaking like I've experienced from unbalanced wheels. But when I'm idling and taking off in first gear my car just kinda shakes to get going. Stupid crazy rattling while idling. I can't say it shakes switching from 1st gear to 2nd(or switching any other gears). Only when I'm idling and going from nothing into 1st gear. Doesn't really shake on the freeway

    Probably motor mounts

    I did a diy CAI on my 02 ram, but I did it because the previous owner installed a dual (2.5 or 3 inch, can't remember) exhaust and left the factory intake and it was obvious it wasn't getting enough air, so I pulled the factory air box and used 3" pvc that I painted with metallic paint to make a radiant heat barrier and routed it down to the fog light hole (didn't have fogs) put a big cone filter on it with a mesh screen in front of it and shielded it from the road grime in the bottom, greatly increased performance and fuel economy  (when I stayed out of it lol)

    But i agree just slapping a cone filter under the hood you will fuck yourself

    Anyone ever use protein shakes for a meal substitute? Was told to try that when working out and trying to lose weight

    I used idealshake for a little while, it was pretty good. Very well rounded nutrion too.

    The preworkout I bought is from core nutritionals, and it was something like $40 or $45 at my buddies gym for a little container.

    He wont take no money from me so I guess thats the least I could do.

    I just got some BCAA and some mct oil to help supplement the keto, low carb diet I'm on from GNC. I've lost at least forty in the last 30 days, but I have been near a scale for over a week so I'm not sure how much more I have lost.

    A bunch of trips to the pick n pull. Then I dropped it off with this guy that fixed it when it was totaled in 2012

    So based on these two posts you are driving a car that is technically totalled by your state and literally has zero value. How in the fuck do you have insurance? And doesnt cali have inspections? How the hell are you passing those?

    Devil's Backbone Smokehouse Porter: Smoked Porter Ale. 

    Not sure how far DB has gotten out of Virginia. Their Vienna Lager and 8-point IPA are the only two I see year round, the rest of the brews they make seem to be seasonal only.

    Never heard of it, but I want to lol. That sounds awesome
