    I’ve seen a few do it that way. Legal or not I don’t know. I feel safer if the strap is all the way through

    So the wife tells me her phone is broken. Been doing all kinds of crazy stuff. When I get home today I told her let’s go to Verizon to get her a phone. Then the kids chime in and ask if she is going to drop that one in the toilet too.
    Yeah, she didn’t tell me that tidbit of information.

    I don't see why not. As long as you have a few wraps before it gets tight

    Looks like the exhaust was made by Mario and Luigi.

    1500lbs box to Boeing.

    Hey, think Humble will allow me to borrow his new axle? May need help scaling this one.

    @cke I’ve heard it’s illegal if the strap isn’t all the way through on either side... wondering if that’s true or just another Melton urban legend.

    I've been doing it the way you showed in the picture for years. Several inspections they looked at securement and always got a clean bill of health.

    10-4.

    I always thread the end all the way through and then fold up the excess and fold it through the rail... basically the way most companies teach you to do it?

    I believe this method is called “short-strapping” in slang or whatever. It’s faster for sure. Trying new methods out :)

    You've gotta be right on that. Just does not compute, how can a dude possibly be into that.

    Anyone else notice the people working the night shift are usually more laid back. We worked part of the day shift on this frac today and man the day crew was sure uptight

    Not sure what you fellas out west is doing but if ya could back them fans off a notch it'd sure be appreciated...

    Sunday I decided to hook on to my 30 year old wagon and drag it a couple thousand threw the hills and hollors this week....and got lined up for next week. She needs a little love but the fans are on high around here.

    Thanks!!!
