    Oh and speaking of it took 2 hours to chain and throw 3 tarps on this 53 feet of flat steel i have right now. Got mad cause the tarps are long and load was low. Think I threw my cheater pipe a few times and just sat there looking at it for a few minutes trying to calm down. Then after it was tarp I saw and figured better way to do it, go figure. It was late and running out of hours lol.

    However long it takes you to do it correctly is good. I have had days where my stuff almost puts it self away and days where I couldnt roll a strap if my life depended on it. It happens to every one. Set up a system of how you put your stuff away and where it goes, do it the same way every time. You will get to the point when you dont even have to really look any more, it just ends up in the correct place.
