An F150 can handle any load you dish out!That bumper dumper could cause
to much tougue weight for a half ton. Until you lighten the load.
Nice, always wondered where the term "head" came from! When I was 10 we went sailing out of Long Beach on a boat my dad's friend owned. It was big enough to have a head. I of course loved the word and proceeded to refer to every restroom after that as a "head" and my dad kept telling me to knock it off as it's not polite lol, good times.It's been a while since I've posted a rrrr RDP History Lesson™.
In sailing ships of centuries past, a setup similar to the photo in the OP was placed on either side of the bowsprit. The box was open near the waterline, so waves would wash out the detritus.
The far forward area of the ship where the toilets were placed was known as the head. In time it became common to use that word to describe the box and its usage, thus the terms "Going to the head" and "Using the head", along with other variations, became part of the sailor's lexicon.
This photo of the Vasa, a Swedish warship that sank in Stockholm harbor in 1628 and was recovered intact in 1961, shows the box like heads on either side of the bowsprit.
I've worked with one of our other foreman for coming up on 20 years, went to high school together, just a good friend etc....
He told me one day about he was at the lake and had to go...so he hopped in the lake and took care of business, well the turd was a floater and rolled up his back.
I always thought they called that the poop deck.It's been a while since I've posted a rrrr RDP History Lesson™.
