    i stayed down in florida for a 34 i didnt need to see my uncle i havent seen in over 2 years. Then last night i drove to south carolina, picked up a load of i beams out of huger, and going to drop them off in indiana on monday at 0600. I allready have a preplan to go from indiana, grab a coil and run it down to laredo by wednesday. here are some pictures and a video of the i beams they are 26ft long. i tried to capture the trailer settling down when loaded but my phone ran out on me .
    Its going to be another 3000+ week thank godness i need the money something bad [​IMG] [​IMG]
