The journey begins - purchased a truck.

Ready Freddy - let’s do it again.

 

That’s Redwood Falls, MN

 

Second time this has happened - about 10 miles out, patched - then further up the box about 200 miles out.

I’ve got 3 guys from the shipper that have photos and a plan for better wrap securement.

That 3M flashing tape is some super sticky stuff. Forget Duct tape for silencing that pesky child - this stuff sticks like white on rice.

 

In other news, I started having a slight panic attack laying on top of the box, leaning over to get the tape on the top corner. It’s only 14 feet off the ground - but my brain decided it would try to over ride my will.

When I load I find it way faster to walk on top and drop the straps over the side - I’m fine with that so long as I stay a couple feet back from the edge. Putting the edge protectors on I crawl hands and knees.

And my stutter has returned. I used to stutter pretty bad as a young kid, but it went away.

It’s like a logjam of thought that you can’t quite push down the river - it’ll pass I’m sure.

And I can now operate the fancy skid steer a bit better now. I helped the other driver with it this morning for practice.

Reset 34 from Fri night - Sunday am - spent the time loading, getting parts, groceries, water , laundry will have to wait. Managed to load box before the heat advisory kicked in, had to finish up in the afternoon.

Ain’t worked this hard in a long time.

 

One of those days.
