I'm pretty sure you will find it after you buy some more wire at about 4+ times the cost it was 11 years ago. Hi, my name is Carl, I am a pack rat and was well trained by my mother but I have never been able to get as good as she was.
Now I try to put related items on the shelves close to each other and that helps. It's said that we never forget anything we see, read, write or say but we can't always call it up from the store house in the brain. The fact is, the brain will only release the info until after we have done something that the info is no longer needed and then it comes in a revelation of thought.
I's doin' jes fine thanky. It has been raining almost everyday and a few of them with severe weather. The TV stations have the weather people on for 2 to 12 hours at a time with marathon weather reports telling us the same thing over and over. After the first 5 minutes it's a waste of air time. They could do a report every half hour and still get the job done but I guess they have to justify their existence just like the police, fire dept, ems and the epa at accident scenes where they may spend a day or two documenting what happened and cleaning it up.
Cry wolf to many times and see what happens. That's where the weather departments are headed.
SpringValley, I worked at a Cummins Distributor for many years. I started in the pump room, went to the floor as a wrench, then as a shift foreman, then as a Warranty admin and Training Manager.
It was interesting how many drivers came in wanting you to “soup up their engine” when they didn't even own the truck. Yep, been through the aneroid argument many times.
Ahhh, something is missing here and it seems to be Ronald. I guess Ronald deleted his posts?????
I have become accustomed to the new site. When your on a site for years you get used to the way it is and when the site gets a radical face lift it throws you off for a while.
Hmmm, that's a good point about using pins in the jack stands. It always makes me uneasy when loading a trailer using ramps when the trailer and vehicle bounce up and down. I haven't had one come off yet but it can happen.
Since the trailer will weigh about as much as the truck the equalizer hitch may be required to be safe. I sure don't want the tail to wag the dog or lift the front end.
Yes, the equalizing hitch but I don't want to spend the $200 unless I have to. My neighbor uses them and I like the way it smoothed the ride out on his trailer.
Right now I am planning to strap the ramps to each side of the railing but that may change. The ramps are hell for stout but the angle iron was shorts I got cheaper than a full length as were the cross bars. I saved about one fourth the price by buying drops. They weigh about 75 lb each.
If it quits raining for a day or two I will take it on a test run with the Jeep loaded.
It takes time and postage to ship stuff. Many times it's more time consuming to ship something than sell it over the counter. You can't just put something in an envelope and send it because the new postal machines will spit the part out the end of the envelope when it goes through the machine. That puts the machine out of service and your part gets lost.
Ask me how I know this.
You have the cost of the shipping container with exceptions, doing the paper work and boxing it and taking it to the shipping agent. Selling through the mail is not like writing a letter and sending it.
Aw geez, safeco and nationwide are trouble. Prop the roof up, drive the car out and jerk the prop out. Now they have to build the garage.
