    Can they really say anything about no belly straps? They don't count towards the aggregate wll anyway, correct?

    I'm an (aboriginal / native / American Indian) [take your pic of terminology] so because the Indians help fight of the British or French a couple hundred years ago, we have treaty rights on both sides of the border. So basically it's like dual citizenship. I have a green card but I'm probably going to become a full US citizen so I can vote and I don't like always clicking resident, then have to get into a big explanation because people don't know about our rights.

    How did you end up with that Texas flag?

    I've seen worse.

    Drilling equipment for Berkel & Co was the ugliest loads I ever dealt with, usually requiring no less than 20-some straps.

    Not really, I miss fresh water lakes a little and going to camp with family. But having a family of my own here far outweighs missing relatives or parents.

    But I built a fire pit in my backyard and we try go to the ocean as often as we can. But it's hard with a 1 & 3 year old to go anywhere. But the older they get, the easier it gets and there is more to explore as they get older and easier to go on trips with.

    That and I've had family come down and visit for either or a week or 6 months.

    At least when loading they are at least somewhat smart about it.

    They use posts in the stake pockets. Guides and drill bits go on the outside, and all the loose crap like hoses go in the middle.

    Right now I have 11 1/2 inch chains out on this ld. One of them is a 20 footer. Pain to dig out of headache rack, plus the other chains. Then 3 2 inch straps also
    The other 10 are 10 footers, plus a couple tail chains
