Google says that it's Bill Gates, but I'm thinking somebody else beat him to the punch a long time ago:

We are getting ready to move so I'm filling them with stuff. I can finally justify them to the wife.

"Three's the charm", nice line-up.
Good luck with the move. Where are you headed?

Made a few runs to the dump lately
1 was 4000lbs of broken up concrete
1 was 4200lbs of shingles
1 was only 2300lbs of construction debris
Been looking at hydraulic dump trailers & other than the easy unload the m101A2 has been up to the task !

Hauled some more gravel.
A few days ago I painted the hub covers and put them on yesterday.

It's pretty straightforward, with just a few mods needed. I'll do a complete write up on it, a separate thread, in the next couple of days, share the tidbits I learned.
Cheers

Installed new longer safety chains on my M101A1 so they actually reach the safety chain loops on hitch, Hauled a load of trash/debris to the landfill and then used it to haul the grill over to the inlaws for a July 4th cookout.

Was finally able to register the trailer to my name, as the previous owner finally got the paperwork ready.
Now to wait on the key for the safe. Am wondering what is inside. Even if there is nothing in it, it is handy to have a safe when camping.
Did some interior decorating in my Dutch ex-army trailer.
-Took the angle grinder to the 4 hooks welded onto the side, I hit my head on them at least 26 times..
-Removed a wooden beam on the floor, so my "carpet"could be installed. (old playing carpet for toy cars)
-Devised a simple locking mechanism for the cabinet when in transit.
-Relocated some pvc piping for storage.
-Installed a decorative LED string at the entrance for light at night to get inside.
Next things on my list:
-Testfitting the bunkbed/fieldbed, or what is it called.
-Install more LED lights
-Whatever I can think of..

Yesterday my son and I took a 7 hour round trip ride to purchase 5 sets of bows for my 1953 xm105-e3 checker cab trailer, and hopefully today we can go to were I have it stored ,install the bows and put on the new canvas cover that I purchased off fleabay last week. (not an easy item the bows to find locally)
Take something to put down the middle that will support the tarp. They are flat and hold the rain water.

That's scriptural, right?
So you mean it took 40 days AND a miracle to lift that sucker in there?!
