Sorry Dave I am not going to be back in town for a few more days. I can reach out to friends if needed. Just post up that you are coming up short. 👍

Good God Dave don't go and hurt yourself! I'll be heading that way just as soon as my heart medication kicks in and the ticker stops it's irregular oscillation. What part of town is Rob located? Maybe an address and Robs phone number?

You realize the demographics here... Mostly 50+ year old dudes with bad backs who drink too much beer

I'm different: 33 years old, only a half bad back, also drinks too much beer 😂

But for real, once we close on our house out there, I'm always down. I love trying to move big, awkward items. Bent the tailgate on my last truck with a 1000+ pound palm stump after redneck rigging a ramp and some come along winches 👍

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

I think I might have gotten this figured out.

If only someone had a fork lift…..
hmmmm
I was in Havasu this morning to drop off an eighteen speed transmission. The truck I was driving has a lift gate and a bed mounted crane. Would have been a piece of cake.

So I am two years approaching 50 years old, and I think I finally have this figured out. I just loaded a dumpster this weekend from my house of shit I no longer want to be a part of. I made myself a few resolutions.

  • I will never hurt my back moving heavy equipment again. I am hiring professionals.
  • I am no longer detailing or buffing anything I own, I am outsourcing it.
  • I am no longer wrenching on anything unless it is minor service etc. I will pay for it to be done
  • No more projects
I can make more money then trying to do this stuff last minute when I am trying to hurry a vacation thru.

Once I am retired, I can wax and wrench as long as I want. Until then, I am going to use my body, what's left of it, to earn income and provide.

LOL..sorry for the rant, but it felt good to throw out shit I been carting along for 30 years!
