Afternoon guys!

Truck looks good Steve.

Wow, it's the 9th, first time poking in the Sept. thread. Been on holidays, and to be honest, forgot the month changed.

Anybody feel that earthquake we had a little while ago?

 

Nope. Did you?

 

Enough of that talk here.

 

Don't think it shook this far.

Day one of the work week done. Today be hump day.

 

Good morning BC!

What's a matter Chris, not ready for the white stuff yet?

 

Have a great day...it's 9-10-11!!

 

Ah.........................................NO!!!!! !!

Day two of my work week. It's stinkin hot again.

 

AFTERNOON BC!!! whats going on peoples...

 

Just kicking back.

 

Not a damn thing. My wife felt it though, she works in Richmond.
Saw a report on Global BC last night, it said some in Kamloops, Kelowna and Merritt noticed hanging clocks moving on the wall. A couple incidents of falling show china... Probably some real paranoid people who felt a heavy semi drive by.

It's weird how somebody will feel it yet 50 feet away somebody else won't.

Anyway...

Went and looked at a 17' Terry today. Price is right, for the right buyer. That buyer would be me, if it were 2 years ago.

As it is right now, it's useable, but not really presentable. A previous owner ripped out the shower and installed shelves, converted a dinette to a fulltime bed, needs a new fridge, holes poked in the siding all over the place, and filled in with black silicone... Not only did my wife love it, but she's smart enough to know that we aren't in the right frame of life to take on an adventure like that.

Mind you, the seller bought it sight unseen 2 weeks ago from a guy in East Van, to park on Bowen Island as a "cabin". $850 doesn't buy much of a trailer, and his wife wasn't impressed. So, the poor guy is stuck with a trailer that his wife hates, and somebody without a lot of time won't fix.

So it's back to the classifieds, looking for another trailer.

I don't feel so bad though, about passing on it. It wouldn't take much to make it awesome, but a 3000 pound trailer dry on a single axle doesn't really sit right with me. The Expedition will handle it, but I'd like the extra axle.

 

Yep, even just for blowouts it's good to have two axels. On a single axel a blowout can wreck your whole rig. Two axels no matter how small the trailer.

 

I second the tandem axle as well. When we bought our first trailer I wouldn't even look at a single. There is one out there with your name on it somewhere Joe.

I remember our first trailer, we headed out from Hinton in the morning. I figured that somewhere in Edmonton we would find something decent. Well to make a long story short we ended up finding one in Calgary. The trip took us through some towns with a pile of dealers. Then to top it off we couldn't pick it up till the next morning. The next morning they said it may take all day to have it ready. We almost walked away from the deal. I'm glad we didn't cause that thing was awesome.

It was a 1978 Prowler 17 1/2'.

Two days down one more to go.

 

nothing wrong with a single axle ..that's all you have on your truck...my 72prowler has done just fine the 5 years we have dragged it up and down the island..keep it clean ..check your tires , maintenance ..remember that ??it works ..just my opinion ..from experience..victoria didn't feel a thing ..but then I ride a Harley ..vibrations are a good thing...lol...

 

Good morning and hope your Monday goes well BC.

 

Morning Jim.
