    Truck got wheels off pavement. Was in danger of tipping over. First time I drove by, tow truck had boom thingy extended way up with strap all the way around the trailer toward the back. Looked like was gonna lift the back of the trailer up on the pavement. On return trip tow truck was in position pictured. They got it out but did not witness exactly how. Trailer was a box

    Boom angle/height seem low. In pic, looked as if he gained any road would jam his boom.
    Could retract it yes, but winch pull would be stronger. We are seeing the pic, he sees the job.

    After knowledge. We all came too late to tell him how to do it. He was on his 2nd set up

    Good excuse to ride the Quad. I shoveled today, 6-7” at most. Got another 3” waiting on me now. The driveway between the street and sidewalk gets run over by the Jeep. Next week it’ll thaw. I’m done with the snow. This is nothing compared to when I was a kid. 5-12” was a regular thing. At least one or three big 15-30” every year. The ice would be 4-5” thick, had to clear it with an axe. Snow days were rare. Walked right at a mile each way. Side streets had deep ruts. Cars would face off, till one would pass and get stuck. Good old days. I don’t miss it.

    Speaking of Olympic sports, I understand that one of the U.S. bobsled teams named their sled "Biden", cuz nobody can take a country downhill faster.

    I'll see myself out now.

    Had to beat @tramm01 to the punch.
