    No worries, MitchTazz. Somebody has to carry on the negativity toward Dave, since Redd found other entertainment.

    In a mud/dirt lot across from the dirt/mud shippers lot in Harlingen.
    They don't "schedule" pickups. I am told I should be loaded by 13:00.
    At that rate i'm betting Monday morning.

    Go ahead and verbally beat me up. I can take it.
     
    outerspacehillbilly Thanks this.

    Here's a good one- y'all can beat up on me. I spent the night on the lot where I picked up this trailer. Went to leave out early this morning to beat Seattle rush hour, only to find the gates closed. WTF? I get out and look closer, and sure enough, the chain is padlocked. Go to the other gate, same thing. Big sigh, guess I don't get out before rush hour, sit and wait for someone to come open up. A few minutes later, one of the reservation patrol officers drives past, then stops and backs up a little. I get out and he says "you know that's not locked." I say "yes it is" and start jiggling the thing to make my point. He says "well, it wasn't earlier. I don't know who has the key." I shrug and he says "good luck!" and away he goes. Well, I get to looking a little closer after he drove off, and turns out it wasn't locked at all. The chain was padlocked to one gate, but only wrapped around the other. I was able to unwrap it, and open them up.

    My first thought was why would anyone bother to close gates without actually locking them? Immediately following this first thought was "well, it fooled you, didn't it?" If that officer hadn't stopped, I would probably still be sitting there!
