    "Stalking horses" are good. Roust some novice a while; then let him by, stroll along just in sight to see the blues blossom and cut across. Then you may be 10 15 miles ahead when his paperwork" get done and awarded...

    Never knew what they cost. Always kept a couple from shop parts man in the glove box. True, back then it was not totally uncommon to see some idiot had actually put chassis grease on to ease connection. If in useable condition. I just spit on my hose end to lube connection. If in bad condition, just pried the trailers out, put in new, spit, hooked rolled. Mostly had my black trailer, so not a problem.

    Lets see... That was about the time they started using gaskets and sealant in the engines.

    To be fair I once had a problem with the seals remaining stuck together AFTER pulling the glad hands apart when dropping the trailer in the evenings. A little grease remedied that.

    In this day and age fighting back particularly against attacks from protected classes will get you charged with a hate crime.

    No-win situation.

    What a garbage society we live in today.

    The Judge has the option of buying a skateboard..
    BUT, he wonders why he’d want to ever, EVER go back to tarping every single load, regardless of if it needs it or not.

    Only thing it needs, besides shocks, is 1 board replaced.

    But it is a 15 model Fontaine, aluminum, so it’s getting old and will be brittle before long.

    Decisions.:banghead:
