    Beside, that particular one craves attention. Best way to screw with people like that....ignore them.

    Yup. Pulled the #2 and 3 main caps off. Bearings are definitely worn pretty good. Probably could have squeezed another 1000 hours out of them. Cam bearings aren't much better. Lifters look mint though. Next to no wear that I can see on them.

    And it would be our guys on the warpath, thus our guys on the chopping block. And deservingly so.
    If he seeks his attention elsewhere, that’s fine. We don’t want to be like those antifa fools trying to dictate what others do.

    LOL I feel your pain. Had to tarp a single skid once, that was not fun with a 24x16.

    I would always just toss one over the front and the rear. Only securement on the load should always be underneath the tarp.

    That 2” is just keeping the 10’ of tarp in line from flopping around. It’s easy here because of the drop on the deck but I would always try and create some sort of angle for water runoff. Just my preference. Water will catch at the bottom there but that’s a non-issue.

    Different ballgame. But you can “tee-pee” the tarp the same way. Get the sides off the ground and then fold it under itself.

    Or you could just... “#### it”

    Nature of the game is getting that tarp tight one way or another. Don’t allow eater to puddle anywhere. And you get thumbs up on CH19 from some of the guys out here who still care and have pride. So that’s a bonus.
