    Slightly Funny Day....

    Had a simply beautiful day here in upstate ny and decided to hit the scrap yard for one last run, had been loading my trailer for a while and I was unaware that somehow one of my tires had gone flat and was in a position that was impossible to access and change...fast forward, offload trailer into truck flatbed...move trailer only to realize it had sank into the pavement and was not really flat...guess it was a little over loaded...LOL lesson learned!

    This South Carolina boy was in Oswego in the blizzard of 96. Hopefully my first and last real blizzard. There were two guys fishing on the river in a small boat a day later.

    Out here in Arizona one summer I had a flat to change. Put the bottle jack under the loaded trailer and thought it was rasing the trailer but instead the jack sunk in to the asphalt. Had a heck of a time getting it unstuck. Now I carry a piece of 3/4 plywood to put under the jack.
