Hot days of July

I hope everyone had a great Holliday weekend. I was busy trying to finish my new splicing trailer.

I had a lot of night work last week. Tuesday morning I was leaving my camp and a log truck put me in the ditch. I am ok. My Superduty wasn't hurt, but my enclosed trailer that I work out of is totaled. I gues it hit something when I ran off the road. Smashed the driver side front, knocking the walls away from the frame. Looks like it has a bent axle. I won't pull an unsafe trailer so it is still at the camp.

I have worked ever spare minute in the last week trying to finish the new trailer.

Yeah, getting up at 5:30 was not something I did during my time off!! I did confirm that retiring would be just fine for me, although, that's about 8 years away.

Hello everyone. Finally got the Internet fixed at the house. I hope.

Tired of it being so hot. I would move to Alaska if it wasn't so cold. Lol.

Man it sure is hot out there. I did manage to get my winch mounted on my trailer over the weekend. That shop was hot.

I hope everyone had a good week. I plan on finishing the wiring on my truck for the trailer winch. I had to purchase a hydraulic crimper for the big lugs. Now to finish the job.
