    Some older guys were shorts year round too. Don't ask about the thumbs.

    Well, here I sit in San Antonio not loaded. The post of shame, I guess.

    I went to load a sorta big excavator today and get there to discover I can get into the yard but not out. Yes, I figured this out before I went in, but got talked into try it .... and no I gould not get out even emoty and before I put the jeep on the ground. I called the county sheriff to see if I could wrong way for 2 miles on one way frontage road, uh not so much. So after wasting $600 on a permit and wrecker to un-stack the booster yesterday and sitting for 5 hours waiting on the sheriff, I had to re-stack the booster in the mud by myself with their 349 and leave with no load.

    Don't know if some other driver could have made it work but I could not get the machine without loading it on the street and the customer wouldn't do it.

    I assume the reason you couldn't get out was due to your length when you get it all strung out?

    Wow. I'd say your instincts are dead accurate. Heading to the house, BigRon?
