    Bout another hour an half down to Winchester. Loadin fats in the mornin outta the hillbilly for National in Liberal. Couple of youngins are a pokin me for not being down there to load. I always had this theory to be sleepin while the sale is a happening. After is work time. I might be wrong though, I have been a time or two before.

Good lord willin and the creek dont rise

    Indeed it is!
    Made it all the way home at low speeds on side roads. Couldn’t get anybody to pass me neither. Couple times I pulled over to let the parade get on by, people crept past n I was watching flashes go off in their vehicles.
    Lol

    They make it easier to access the fuel cap. Look a bit different than the traditional look but with the trailer attached I think it will look "put together". Course I never cared for miles of bare frame myself, so my taste is likely different than most.

    One reason I don't mind the caps behind the sleeper is this...... I was fueling one night after rolling through a bad storm fighting the rain. From the drivers side I noticed water dripping from the sleeper right straight down into the tank through the fuel neck!!:eek: Now we all know, along with water comes road dirt and grime, so I need to do something anyways. Tanks look clean inside still but.......

    IMG_7763.JPG IMG_7764.JPG Safety........

    While at Dunkirk yesterday another driver driver ended up getting hurt. Hurt bad enough he ask for help, since he was having trouble with his left arm mainly.

    Scenario..... I'm loading, my buddy in the cabover is behind me unloading, and behind him is a late model orange / white W900, this guy is up on his trailer loosening his snap Binders. And he's a big guy at least as tall as me but about 100lbs bigger!

    Limited stepping area on the front of his trailer but still enough to walk around, he gets off balance or something and falls of the front straight down on solid concrete.
    My buddy walks up to me about 15 minutes after this and says, hey this guy is hurt and needs help so I'm going to yank his cains to help him. I finish loading and pull out to give my buddy room to pull forward. Told my buddy hey.... you load and I'll go back there and help this other hand, kill 2 birds with one stone.
    I carefully got up on his trailer, took the chains off and choked the material for the crane operator. I got to noticing the trailer floor (all aluminum) and it's slick as glass, no non slip at all to it. Maybe he stepped in oil or hydraulic fluid? Lot of junk out where he was. But anyway.... let's all remember to take that extra second and be careful. After all.... you dang gearjamming outlaws have kinda became family lol hate to see ya get hurt :p.
