No Jim, Aaron and I just rolled it across my ramp from their van up into my van and I lashed it down backwards with the rear tire in the wheel vise.

The date is Sept 19th.
Sounds good to me.

So today I loaded up the trailer with stuff destined for the auction.

So far I loaded:
A not technically new, but unused bush hog.
Service body off our 95 PSD project truck
Ladder rack off the 95 PSD project truck
Hoe pack
WainRoy backhoe bucket with one tooth ripped off
two augers to fit a 3pt hitch auger
3pt mounted post pounder
Duals to fit an IH 1086 or any other larger IH tractor
Only 8 feet or so left on the trailer by my guesstimate. Not sure what we'll put on there to fill it up.
Most of the stuff is going because we can get a few bucks for it rather than paying to dispose of it.

The trailer is going to come back with two 30 yard rolloff containers on it.

Tomorrow is a trip to NY with dad and my brother to look at a FECON mulch coloring operation.

How was everyone else today?

Good night everyone.

I'm working day-shift on Wednesday, so depending on who's visiting the station will determine my opportunities to be in the forum.

Otherwise, I'll be back in Thursday evening.

Ok. If he wants anything it'll be at Petrowsky Auctioneers getting sold on June 27th.
And we'll be there on the 26th trying to snag a rolloff truck. And on the 27th to watch how everything does and there's probably some little stuff that we'll end up getting. We always end up getting some useless crap whenever we go. That's what most of the stuff on the trailer was.

The post pounder, hoe pack, and bush hog were all bought at auction and never used and are now on their way to another auction. Dad's like that...

holy moly i made it! what a freeking night!

stopped at stratford to pick up mom's blown boost hose for her TDI, stopped at Dave's work to drop the bike and then gun it out to and half way across L.I. to get the car.

my sisters new(used) Saab 9-3 TURBO convertible is a very nice little car, i drove halfway home then i let her have it. its a mover, when the turbo spins you feel the back of the seat push. we need to fix one blown speaker and the LCD displays are skewed (normal for a saab). other than that it was a good buy.

DAVE- my dad apologizes for being on the phone, he was organizing crews/barges for tomorrow. every day needs to be scheduled around the tide for this job, its on one of the thimble islands. he had a few questions i couldnt answer though.....how many diesel generators are on that site, and is there any nuclear power there? it was a very interesting place to say the least, i wish i wasnt so rushed, i would have liked to check it out. thanks again dave.

This is getting to be a bit much
We get 2 or 3 nice days and then a week of rain.
I can't get any work done
