I can get a trailer from my Brother to put everything on if we need it. We could always bring it all here.

Seems as if they found a Uhaul. I will be going down to help load from trailer to box truck. Any help is welcome! Call my cell.

Yes, thank you.

We're unhitched from the trailer and it has 2 locks in it. Hopefully it will still be here when we get back.

Any assistance in the bucket brigade will be greatly appreciated and will be rewarded with volunteer positions and Heineken at the ssgr.

Hey Gimp, can you run by 2002fords place and get some parts for me and drop them off with Clinto? I guarantee that by the time you arrive, there won't be much left to move! LOL (Humor for those that don't habla)

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I passed through there about 4pm yesterday. I definitely would have stuck around to help out. Good luck on the rest of your trip!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Just curious as to cause of the meltdown. Was it overloading the trailer or lack of maintenance or a 3rd reason? I remember something similar with AMGenerals and Ferro's trailer breaking down due to overloading. I have a car hauler here and want to make sure it will not happen to me.

We will probably be standing by for a while here. I imagine that Gimp, Clinto, Clintogf and whoever else they got to help are puckerhole deep to a tall Indian in moving inventory. Good thing they are not here. 95° squared.

Gimp called and told me I could stay home, Dave was going with him for bucket brigade duty. I mowed until the lightning got too bad and it poured on me.

I think the rain came from Louisville so they may be wet moving stuff.

OK, we have made it back to our room in Louisville with the 3wheel trailer and our newest addition to the family, ginormous Uhaul van.

Trailer bearings did fine on the way back, plenty cool.

We just took a shower and are going to have some spaghetti and crash. We'll get up early tomorrow to go home.

Much thanks to everyone, but especially Chris and Dave. Without them, we'd have been sunk and that's no joke.

I second what Clinto said, Chris and Dave really helped us out on getting the cargo unloaded and the trailer secured. Thank you so much for your help.

Thanks to all of the others that offered assistance and info.
