They leave so soon......
The hauler showed up this morning, I met him in a big enough parking lot to do the shuffling.
Still too soggy at my place to do truck/trailer dancing, we'd be up to our elbows in mud in short order, and I'd spend all summer falling into rock hard ruts.
First order of business was to take the bows back off to lower the height. I had surgery on my shoulder last friday, so I wasn't going to try that by myself. Actually, if my doc saw me doing this stuff at all, he'd probably go into a tizzy. So shhhhh....
Once everything was down and stowed, I backed the 1082 onto the flatbed. Had to go part way up his ramp to get the M1082 level.
Got it chained down at four points, and that was that. It is, by now, somewhere westbound on I-10.
Agazza, you got a good one! May you enjoy it for many a year.
Now, I think I'll peruse the GP website and find one for me. Maybe a 1095....
Cheers

Pic 8-9: My truck has been hanging out in the flowers at the farm too long, it's developing hippie tendencies... Noticed that after we took the trailer off.
