    Didn't want.you feeling like the Lone Ranger. Lost my cable tarp today in 35mph wind with 50mph gusts. One of the cables got between trailer duals and managed to take out two airlines as well. Lost the last bow so shortened it up 2', which in my world is OK. Heard three others had basically the same thing happen after I signed out to go fix mine. $100 of new 1/4" wire rope and we're back in business. 20241029_125931.jpg

    The only tarps I've delt with in years. And I don't put them on or take them off are nursery tarps.

    3 things. Check to see they are still there. Turn then over in case of moisture and mold. Put them back a little farther away/
    Out of sight, out of mind..

    Sounds like you need to haul one of those loads of elevator parts with sharp edges sticking out in 3000 different directions that @supersnackbar is always raising hell about. :biggrin_25523:

    That's cuz you left them at the house. Leave them out while you park at West Memphis, they'll grow legs sure as the sun sets in the west.
