    Well I finally got the brake chambers just about all off. They’re ready anyway. Clevis pin on one was so stuck, had to grind it, and drill it. I could have sure used a torch, New impact wrench sounds like the gears are messed up. Turned down the $50, 2 yr warranty. Gonna swap it out tomorrow, for another one. Don’t think I’m cut out for Trailer work. Hardly worth the $400-$500 saved on Labor. A Shop would have knocked it out in 3-4 hrs. If that..

    You should take that lantern fly to Cali? They apparently have a lot sins, since their purification isn't over. Or maybe it's just mismanagement. Nah, it couldn't be that.

    May I suggest a mesh tarp like the bee haulers and tree guys use, keep him secured and alive for his trip to the Communist state.

    Yup! I didnt realize that she was shooting the clay pigeons. Thought initially she was aiming at the blue target.
    Thought "what a waste, she barely moves"

    Might have been worth paying to get it done but now you will know what is involved and how to do it. Experience is the best teacher.

    Ok.

    I’m tired of going to multimillion dollar facilities to unload that are open 24/7/365, but can’t afford a little light to see.
    I mean, who really needs to see while walking around belts and augers with only the running lights of your trailer, right?

    The LS Christmas Hat, works, but let’s face it, it wasn’t tested and proven under these situations.

    And a Flashlight sucks because now it’s lying on the ground, or held by your “third hand” (Schneider tankers know that’s between your knees.) and now you’re a juggling unloading extraordinaire.

    So.
    We’re going to try this.

    Highly recommend you never drive a mixer.

    So we have awakened from a Stage II rhinoceros sleep, and are now signed in at Detroit.
