    rough trip to the yard

    Took in a mixed 4,000# load of appliances, rebar, pipe, other misc stuff. I have a dump trailer with 2' solid sides and another 2' mesh on top. anything that could catch on something did. Then I come out of scale house to find a flat tire on trailer. Life is good.

    Had a pair of cars double decked on the truck with another pair on the trailer, heading into Kamloops under cover of darkness had a tire from the trailer pass me. Never did find the tire and rim.

    That would be a scary sight seeing that wheel going past you. I once watched the rear left wheel of a pick-up truck driving in front of me move out about a foot, still attached to the axle. 73, Mike
