    Locking jaw wouldn't slide.
    Couldn't get it out either.
    Had to cut it in 3 pieces to remove it.
    I allways have parts.
    Some are used,some new i have in stock.
    In this case i use my old locking jaw.(did a rebuild couple off years ago,kept the old pieces as backup):)

    they say on news that over 600 buildings have some signs of damage, 6 hospitals....6-7 churches
    this is problem when you have city of this age.

    it is not known exactly how old it is, first documents say in 1054 diocese/bishopric was established.
    most of city is of course built in 19 and 20th century. in 1880 there was M6,3 earthquake and many of todays buildings were probably damaged then

    we have a huge problem with hospitals, almost all are located on slope of mountain and limited in space to expand, no parking spots etc. i think oldest building is from 1804.

    this is closest hospital to my home, it has normal capacity of 750, they built shelters on parking spot for additional 270 people.

    they have prepared sport halls with beds few days ago just in case....i think 1200 beds here....

    we all hope this two events will finally make goverment to finish this hospital, it was 50% finished in 1992 and then stopped due war, in meantime it was abandoned, thefts steal everything worth.
    it is suppose to have 960 beds.....(2 152 782sq ft) i think latest plan is to make childrens hospital there, construction is intact

    great idea.

    tell me please, why did you select this fifthwheel? this is very heavy fifthwheel, you deal with weight sensitive job.
    maybe to prevent damage caused by waves inside of tank?
    how many compartments usually those tank have?

    In this case yes, but in this comparsion Dafs had quite easy work. Normally the difference is bigger. And keep in mind Volvos have got baby axle.

    And just exactly how are they supposed to do that at a major international airport? That crowd in the picture is light compared to a typical day. Spacing people out 15 feet isn't practical, they'd be spaced out from o'hare to Wisconsin.

    At the university level spring break is the same time. At the primary education level it's regional, we had ours last week but up in ohio they had theirs the prior week.
