Went on a mission today to bring back two semi-trailers from Redstone. I borrowed my buddy's M915 (actually the first M915 I ever bought) to do the recovery.
Murphy put in an appearance early when I discovered that the brakes would not release on the first trailer I hooked to (bad air distribution valve). I had intended to use it to put the other one on but as we all know "the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray".
I hooked to the other trailer and backed it up the the loading dock, dropped it and went back and hooked to the first trailer. Crawled under it and caged all the brakes and backed it onto the other trailer.
Got it chained down about the time the rain started, found out the wiper blades on the tractor were FUBAR and almost useless.
Took off and about 10 miles down the road remembered I had not given Teresa her copy of the Pickup Authorization Form. Called her and was told to fax it ASAP.
Got ahead of the rain and managed to get home without too much further aggravation (had to stop twice to retighten chains since the trailer brakes were caged and it tended to move a little).
All in all not too bad a deal......didn't lose any skin or blood.
