Got a call a little bit ago.... DS took hay to grants behind me... and got the truck stuck... the ground is soft under the little bit of a hard crust... and he buried the back wheels... soooo... I went out and started my "big truck"... went over and put it in 4wd and it took 4 tries to get his truck out since it had dropped down into a low spot and I had to pull it up over the ridge to get it out... but we finally got it out...last time I did not start with the chain taut, but gave it a good jerk and managed to get it out... glad that I have the big truck here and it starts good... not the best tires for field pulling like this, but for now it worked. Going to have to see about winter mud/snow tires I think...

You made me think of this video that @greybeard posted once a long time ago.

Ah - yeah - the downsizing w/o telling the consumer. It's happening all the time . LOL try buying a 50# bag of dog food --- nope not easy - 30#, 40#, but no 50# and it always used to be 50#-ers.
I'm sure if they could make an 11 egg carton they'd do it - but then they do sell eggs by the half dozen now as well.
