    So these are my clues. You needed a 'thing' to work; it's ridiculously expensive, a ta160 and ta941 series trailer.

    Obviously you brought in a ta160 and dropped it MT before going home. Your Monday assignment had you picking up the ta941 as an mt.

    Now my first thought is that you pulled the old swithceroo - on Sunday you came in, peeled the numbers, registration, manufacturers plate, and license plate off and swapped so you had a super secret 'old' trailer that no one would touch. A neat idea until I realized it would have been too cold and wet to easily switch the decals.

    Second thought involved high hooking, busting landing gear, and a complicated system of ropes and pulleys to extricate yourself, then toothpicks and duck tape to "fix it" But you're smart enough to get the Brie without catching your tail in the trap.

    Third thought was you went to try and hook to the ta160 trailer, but another driver was already in front of it. You begged and pleaded for the newer trailer, and he relented - after you promised to buy 1,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies from his daughter. The long suffering Mrs. Rat had a conniption, which required you to buy some sort of jewelry (my guess is earrings).

    However none of these scenarios include all the clues. Finally it hit me - you rigged up a trailer defense system. Powered by the block heater you used lasers/holograms to make the nose of the trailer look damaged. Motion sensors would activate speakers playing "The Song That Never Ends" on a loop anytime someone got near the tires. And the coup de grace - a mild electrical current sent thru the crank handle. Expensive, untested, and involving equipment swaps.

    I figured I needed some challenge tonight so I decided to fight a truck eating hole. Thought all was over after losing a mudflap and the dollies are touching but through perseverance and liberal use of the skinny, the truck and trailer survive to roll another day.
