    Hope I dont get any more "practice" for a while then, after my last tarp job, which ended up requiring 7 tarps....

    Thus why I carry "only" 4 of my own....Company lent me 3 of theirs to do the load, was my condition after they suggested me buying more tarps!
    I look like "that guy" who does all the tarping right now, with 7 tarps strapped to the front deck!

    Still no good freight in Tx so far, so still at the Piklot in Von Orm....

    martin, I was in Dallas and now I am in El Paso. Honking I may be able to make Phoenix early enough tomorrow to still make the casino I'm the evening and play golf on Thursday. I have to arrange a crane time with the customer when I reach Tuscon so who knows how it will really go. Heading home Friday morning. Ron
