    Both yards I use you can see the weight while on the scale driving in.



    I know most folks think you need hurricane winds (80+), but trust me when I tell you...40 mph can suck also. lol. I had to ride a bike one day in 30 to 40mph winds. My upper body was killing me for days after. Didn't have the luxury to go with the wind. Also a lot of folks live in places with buildings, or trees. Things that break wind. So..40mph ain't much to them. Live in the desert, plains, or like me currently on a sandbar. My sandbar has height restrictions. Nothing is over 2 or 3 stories. No tall office buildings, or apartment buildings, etc. So no wind breaks. 20 mph with nothing deflecting is fun times I tell you. Go camping in a tent in a windstorm. Talk about hair raising... Did that unintentionally when I was in Arizona on my little multi month camping jaunt til I came back east. Set up camp, went to go to bed around 10 that night, spent the next 3 or 4 hours trying to redistribute weight in my tent so I didn't go flying off into the night. Haha. Was like riding a bucking bronco.

    Yea...wind is sneaky. An deceiving.

    No it adds nothing to the thread but..eh, whatever, I'm about to have a hurricane come and visit.

    Sirscrapalot - Wind...it's very loud at times. Ask anyone who has experienced a tornado or hurricane.
