Phil just rolled out. Trailer is a bit well used but the tank is fine. Thanks Phil! And thats funny gimp, I told him to do the same to you!

Phil is a determined young chap. He will be there in no time.

Phil, Do we have an estimated ETA for Bills yet....? And it would make sense to leave Radiogeek99's tarp kit at bills also... I spoke to john and we'll be picking them up together...

Hello Stonepicker1, And I see you are in Coconut Creek, I am in Boca Raton till next week, then moving northward to Loxahatchee. Do you have a vendor set up where you are? WHATADEUCE

Update. We are just south of Lexington. GPS puts me at Lockborne at 10:45.

Had to take a little nap.

Good news. I was afraid the ground would be frozen for the wrecker body move, but nooooo, it started warming up and it will be a mess. I unloaded it in the pouring rain so this will be just as fun. One of us will need to take down the driveway chain on west end so you can pull through and not have to do any backing.

A new avatar..? You guys change your avatars more than I change my drawers and I wouldn't recommend smelling those...

Gimpy, my son PJ and me are at GL waiting load out. They are short handed today. Going to be awhile.

I scooped up the pile of rust and put it on Phil's trailer and the three of them left here at 5:30PM.

I'll bet there will be a party at the SWB compound tonight. Thanks Steve. I'm glad it got out of there on schedule.

There were pics taken. That axle was problematic to get loaded but no one was hurt and that's all that matters.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Yep..Kenny it loaded. We are in KY now. Going to eat / fuel up and get back on the road.

i will post more pictures.

"It was a good lookin' wrecker bed until that joker with the backhoe got to it"

Think I'll stencil this above the windshield.

The bigger problem is that axle tore almost every hydraulic hose out of the fittings to run the boom. I have some hydraulic hose I can bring down to the GA rally in the fall.

Sometimes things like this can't be avoided. Whatever the damages are, it's of little consequence as SWB stored the thing at his expense. They most likely all needed replaced anyways. Perhaps I should change the windshield sticker to "Hoses? We don't need no stinkin' hoses!" LOL
