    “A newer better truck” huh? Did ya ask her what newer truck is better than the one you have? That could’ve been fun.

    been there done that.
    just a hint... through everything on the ground then pull the truck ahead. it is a lot easier than walking it back. Anything you can put behind the back axle will "teeter totter" even more weight off the drives. I used to pile the tarps on the trailer tail then cover them with the chains and binders. The pocket stakes were put into the back pockets with a couple 4X4s stacked in front to stop my gear from working off the back end

    I finally broke down and looked at some pictures of the damage. How a human being can be that destructive and not be smart enough to quit is beyond my knowledge. I was beyond ready to walk off, commence my new career as the official beer can picker upper out this way. The hunt for a 3 wheel bicycle was just fittin to kick off, but a small conversation between @4mer trucker and myself put me back in perspective for the most part. It also helped that Mama is still willing to leave this crap behind and go hide for a bit. It could be so much worse

    Probably figured he’d get shot if he stuck around after realizing he’d hit a 379.
