No..you are a truck drivin nymph...just like me. lol
Jay...you are a country fan for sure. I have thousands of country songs. Want me to make you some CDs?
That thing is pretty freakin cool. Thanks for the pics Nick.
Pat, I agree with what has already been said. That trailer is over its capacity for weight, and there is too much weight over that axle. Most of the weight should be on the front half of the trailer to give it more tongue weight, which will stabilize the trailer while pulling.
I've also learned that some trailers can be a lot squirrelier than others. Seems some need to be loaded JUST PERFECTLY, or they'll wander, while others are not so particular. My old aluminum quad trailer was a perfect example of that. It was such a smooth trailer, it didnt seem to matter how you loaded it. Of course, it being an aluminumn quad trailer, I couldn't exactly load it down with 8000# either.
I'm glad you got out of it without whipping the trailer and wrecking both trucks. Smart on not hitting the breaks in that situation, in tense situations its hard to stop and think about what you should do vs. what you shouldn't do. Smart man.
Wow...I love bluegrass, but I really love Metallica too. I'm not sure what I think about that. I thought One was okay but I didn't like Fuel. Too fast and raging of a song for bluegrass, I think.
Although it may grow on me. Thanks Costa!!!

Man, I just got a GREAT laugh! here's what happened:
<br>
<br>
I sent out an email to my team, and one guy replies:
<br>
<br>
Dude, for a sec there I thought you were selling steak knives. LOL!!
<br>
<br>
to which I replied: "That's how my Dad met my Mom; selling knives door-to-door!"
<br>
<br>
His response almost had me fall out of my chair: "Maybe she liked the dangerous type"
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Whatever it was, it worked. They met and were married within a year's time, and just last June celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

Haha thats pretty awesome Brendan!
Speaking of trailers, I had an old boat with a single axle trailer underneath of it, and it used to sway behind the old ladys jeep when she towed it. Luckily for us we were able to slide the axle back on the frame a little bit. Someone had actually moved it forward at one time, no idea why.
Ive had to use a short car trailer to tow a truck from time to time, and to minimize the sway(if you have no option but to use that trailer) I used an equalizing hitch, and drove slower.

I like Rise Against! Nice little tidbit - the drummer is from CO; I went on a date with his older sister. Nope, didn't know how to say "Thank you" either... ah well... LOL When we'd go "out running" on the motorcycles we had our MP3 players with stuff like NIN, Rage Against the Machine, and KMFDM on them.... made for some fun runs!
Just catching up and listened to Undead by Hollywood Undead - took me a second to figure it out, but they've blended two of the most popular styles/artists in the past few years - Eminem & Linkin Park. They're pretty good, I'll give them that, but that song just wasn't hard enough for me to really get in to it. LP has some tracks that.... just makes the adrenaline start pumping....
The mask thing.... GWAR did it. Not a big fan. Actually think it's just stupid.
And the best part is they're the typical-looking "modern punk" - skull t-shirts to make them feel hard/tough, and my little sister is packing more muscle than any of them
Rise Against has better energy too IMO. These guys are soft fishbellies trying to be hard..... and it's not working.

Wow that's really cool. I am the first in my family to wrestle. my best friend got me interested in wrestling, now I got my brother(who is 9 years old) into wrestling. Of all the tournaments he's been to his lowest finish was a third I think. I think he has a good chance at bwing a state qualifier, if not a state champion.
