    I’m sure that could have happened. But that trailer is probably fairly new and considering JD said he was flying out of there, I bet he backed under, rolled up the landing gear, swapped bills and headed out without even a glance over. When it dropped down to the frame he should have stopped, but when the trailer valve popped he definitely should have. He went a good ways after it hit the ground. Considering how rare it is to see a good pre trip these days, this probably happened 50 times today, and I think that’s conservative.

    I try not to assume anything....

    I've lost friends and walked off jobs because people assumed something about me that wasn't even close to being true or what happened.

    IMG_6122.JPG Well, my buddy made a somewhat video..... @ShooterK2 . After the fuel system cleared itself of air, she purred like a Swiss watch. Turned it off and hit the starter and she never turned 1/2 a turn, belched a little coal out both stacks and settled into a nice smooth idle. Road test tomorrow!

    Stopped at the house for a short nap.
