    Took one of my boys, and his buddy, on a run with me today. Was telling them about this post. I just wonder how many others, really THINK... about the forum, the members, and what they learn here, in any given day. I, for one, do, and enjoy sharing the knowledge, and some of the UDDER STEWPIDIDY dat goes on here, with my kids... just about everyday.



    Dad...whoz da guy with the cooler? HA

    I had planned on taking the trailer and winch to get some motors scattered in a field but we had some snow and rain and wanted to tread lightly, so I went with this setup to pull them in the van. I could put a winch in the van but keeping it simple works just as good. Had to evict some mice from the oil pans first though...

    last summer I did some landscaping at home and had to get rid of the concrete double step/platform, being flat and rectangular I was able to get it up on some pipes that ran ontop of some 2x4's to roll it to the box trailer, then with a pair of 2x8's as ramps was able to use a strap and come-a-long to pull it into the trailer. I put it up for free online before loading it and when I got to where I was delivering it to the guy swore there was no way in #*** I got it in the trailer by myself... told him it's called working smart, not hard... took 3 of us to barely get the thing off the trailer, I even offered to help and use the 2x4's and pipes to roll it into his backyard but wasn't interested in moving it right then... was kinda pissed the wife even had it dropped off
