    That looked like a pain to strap down.

    It was. This is going to a feed mill. Those are always a bit more challenging.

    I hear you.

    Years ago I used to haul the occasional load of drilling equipment for an outfit called Berkel & Co. They had a fairly good method of loading this junk, but it still always took a boatload of straps to secure it. The guide rails were loaded first, against stakes towards outside of the trailer. The bits went inside of those, with all the hoses and other loose ancillary crap in the middle.

    That, I don't miss at all.

    There's a funny thing about feed mills. It seems like they add a building, shed, or generator in the most random places that make it hard to get around.
    How many times do you look at a shed or office trailer at a feed mill and ask yourself, "Why in the world did they just plop that down right there?"

    Exactly and it seems to be a competition on who can build one on the smallest amount of land possible.
