    another record day for me

    so this days haul started yesturday, which wasnt the best day I've had. anyway I picked up a suburban yesturday from a guy about an hour away. he suggested a flat bed to move it and was concerned when I showed up with a trailer. this is my second car without all four wheels so I had a better idea of how things should go. jacked it up backed under it, moved jacks onto trailer then backed up until I hit the front wheels. now came the fun put using two come-a-longs me and my buddy started winching it up. after a lot of sweat and careful maneuvers we had it up and ready to strap down. needless to say the guy was impressed, he didn't even think we would come close to getting it on there. then my friend told him we were only 17 and I can only imagine the look on his face. we started the trek home and I was very pleased with how well my 2500 pulled, even without tow haul. so today we brought it to the yard and my heaviest haul record was shattered 14460 today 11700 previous, also most made in one haul 401 beating the old 250. after today my friend is hooked and we are searching for the next load, would very much like to do more cars.
