He had the right equipment, but . . .

. . . he had no idea how to use it. Someone came by to remove a truck from my property yesterday. Big trailer, big truck, ramps, winch, come-a-longs, and tie downs and he couldn’t get the truck on the trailer. Hours spent trying to do it his way and when we did it my way it was done in 30 minutes.

I am so sore and I was sore yesterday too. Lifting and moving items that were heavy and awkward and so unnecessary. Combined he had a dually 350 pick up with a 40 foot 5th wheel flat bed to haul a dually 550 dump truck off of a flatbed truck. It didn’t work well and the 550 fell partially off the truck. This happened just before I got there.

My Jeep was the workhorse of the rescue project. It pulled all rigs that were connected straight. It pulled the 550 sideways to further straighten the combination. Lockers and 4 wheel low did the trick.

I have to apologize to Dennis. when he came to chat, I was too sore to stand and talk. Had the table been free of debris, a.k.a. Sam’s Club shit, I would have loved to sat and chatted with you.

It’s 3:15 a.m. as I type this. At 2:30 a.m. the phone rang. Another crank call, the second in a weeks time. It’s kinda fun when this happens, other than the lack of sleep that occurs, because I immediately use the block call feature on my phone system and the dumb ass can’t call the store anymore. When the idiot complains about not being able to call, I explain the system to them and tell them that they were blocked due to phone abuse and I never take people off the blocked list. One complained “that’s not fair, we were just having fun” so I asked him if I punched you in the face for fun if he’d understand and just shrug it off? He didn’t get it.
