I got to drive this awesome combo today. 2014 WellsCargo 36' trailer and 2015 Ford F-550 w/11' flatbed. I pulled it around the yard and backed it up...no damage!

Sean, we have already seen some on the mountains, nothing that stuck though. Tomorrow is supposed to be 65F and sunny i'm taking a half day and going out to the state fair with my grandparents.

Michael, no i kept it nice and slow, it was the first time we hooked the truck to the trailer so had to check the clearance when turning. The company that bought the trailer from us over a year ago forgot they bought it, it had been sitting in our yard the whole time. When i mentioned it to them that we needed to get it moved they decided to buy the F-550 and we installed the flatbed and did a whole upfit to the truck. Looking at about a $125k set-up there. This combo will be driven to Prudhoe bay, AK to go to work next week once i get it stickered up.

Sounds like something Michael might do, forget he bought something.

Grandpa must be doing OK to go to the fair, glad to hear it!

No, but sometimes I'll buy something use it once or twice and throw it to the side....

I can already see myself doing that with the 16' RIB I bought for my last trip

I will send you an address, and you can toss it aside, with all of its paperwork, in my driveway.

I can assure you, that the family will have a good time!

Yes, I was very excited to hear him say he wanted to go. I took half a day off work tomorow to spend the day with them. He's been doing pretty good but tonight had an issue that really brought to light his memory problem and his brain not working as well as it used to. Even at 78 he was very sharp before this, now that has changed and he finally realized it himself tonight. Hopefully with time it will get better, but this whole thing has made me realize they are getting older and won't always be there, which scares the living hell out of me...I have never pictured life without them.



To keep this remotely on topic, I fired the Ex up tonight to run up to my Grandparents house. Needs a bath pretty bad!

The 7.3. lol

I just got the title for the green one finally two days ago. When I get some time and money I need to run down, title, and register Chitty deuce and then just drive.
