My friends....

This could be farwell from me for a while.

Long story short, i didn't like the job i had, and was getting the shaft around there , so i stepped outside of my little box ,and accepted a job on a custom harvest crew out of burdett alberta. I am getting on a plane and flying out there tomorrow , by this time next week , i will be in southern oklahoma. The company's name is Thacker harvesting , so if anyone on here knows them, hires them , etc , stop by the crew and say hey , my name is Jayme.

I am leaving my CTD at home for the summer, in the hands of my dad , who will probably drive it while he gets a little work done to his truck , then put it in storage for me.

I don't know how often i will have internet access, but i am taking my laptop with me , so i will probably drag it along and check for wireless when we fuel the trucks up. I will try and check into the DTR and let you fellers know where i am, and i will likely have thousands of pictures when i come back.

Ya'll keep this forum just as awsome as it always has been , and i will be back , in 7-8 months. If any of ya'll need to get ahold of me, PM or e-mail me , and i will answer ASAP, or if it is real urgent PM A-Poc , he has my cell #.

Audios amigos!

Jayme Miller

If he's custom harvesting he'll be west of I-35....that's where most of the wheat ground is at. Good luck with wheat harvest...it shouldnt take long to get through Oklahoma as I dont think the yields will be good this year. I'll keep an eye out for you because I'm sure Ill be up there too in another month chasing combines and 4wd tractors.

Good luck and have some fun when you get there.

I used to know a few girls who operated combines on some of the custom crews. Hope you meet up with them

Yeah, we are expecting record low yeilds from crops this year...this drought has really been tough on a lot of farmers...I haven't seen one single wheat field that looks decent on my trips out west, but the southern ones should be the best out of the state! Anyway...Good luck man! if you need anything and get a chance to get on here, PM me, I'll gladly make the trip south and help out!
