Good evening, Roy.
Good write-up and photos on those flaps for the new rig.
It should make hauling the fiver around a lot easier, more stable, and safer. The flaps will make it cleaner, too!
Topic for the vet forum:
I'm about to leave the VA, insofar as medical care is concerned, as I don't think that they care much any more. I'm 68 years old, and they hadn't ordered a lab test to determine my PSA until a month ago, when I had to tell the doctor I thought it was bordering on incompetency to have overlooked that for so many years that my last one doesn't even show up in my records any more.
I allocated my Medicare to Kaiser Permanente, and I am going to see one of their doctors for the first time tomorrow morning. They've GOT to be better than what the VA has become!

Yes, getting the Dually was a wise decision I believe.

I'm in. I notice a lot of newer trucks among the vets, so I'll rep the "Bullnose" crowd here. I'm active duty, thrice deployed and staring down another round.
I'm also a certified suicide intervention instructor. I think one thing we should have when it starts up is a thread for vets willing to offer one-on-one suicide interventions. Just a simple "I'm here, so message me" list.

Thank you for your service and willingness to help. Very few people know that I was almost a suicide statistic myself. Without the help of a very good State Patrol Sargent that talked me down, I wouldn't be here now. I lost another VietNam buddy to suicide last week, and that prompted me to make a go of this.
We can make this work!
