    Run a couple bungees from the rings on the sides of the ends, to the other side of that makes sense. I’d imagine that would help.

    It balloons about 6 ft from the rear. Usually use 6' on this load and with the extra folded under everything stays nice and flat, but figured I'd try the 4' since they cover, but haven't been able to figure out how to keep air from getting in.

    Yeah, can't even make that up! As I was leaving they were complaining about the service. Which was odd, because the waitress was bending over backward for them. So she told them if they didn't like it, maybe they should leave. I didn't hear anything else after that.

    There are plenty that needed a good arse whooping’ years ago! I took my wife to the doctors about a week ago. We walked on the elevator and I held the door for a woman and her about 10 or 11 year old son. I went to push the button for our floor and the kid looses his ####! Hits my hand with a toy he was carrying. The Mom turns to the kid and starts talking softly to him about how we don’t do this and that and if he keeps acting out he’s going to get a time out. I looked at my wife and her eyes got real big with that knowing look. She knew what was about to spew out of my mouth. But I knew it was a waste of air when the lady didn’t even apologize for her kids behavior. I’ve worked with a lot of special needs kids through our community center coaching sports over the years and this was not one of those cases. This kid just needed a serious butt whooping! I know if my kid acted like that or if I would have when I was younger we knew what was coming next. This guy you were dealing with sounds like the older version of this kid! Parents are soft and make kids even softer and disrespectful! Usually getting right up in there space and whispering some words of wisdom in there ear does the trick. People get very uncomfortable when someone that’s 6’5” and 255 is uncomfortably in there space.;):D

    I’d bet this 40-something lives in their basement and they coddled him all his life.

    People who do that are the architects of their own problems. It’s just too bad they can’t keep their animals in a cage.

    You might find that letting some air out at the bottom back can help with ballooning of the sides, try pulling the back flap up even with the bottom of the load.

    Easy times make soft people, soft people create hard times. Thus the cycle continues.
