Only Tuesday and Already Getting Antsy

I delivered my reels of plastic pipe yesterday morning. I was sitting in their lot at 6:30 as everyone rolled in to work. I was unloaded and on my way out before 7:30.

I have been talking about adding a tool box on the trailer to put all my straps, chains, binders, bungees, corner protectors, blah, blah, blah into. I have a work box in the back of my truck but it is so full of (essential) crap that it is difficult to find things and it is always a mess. I organize it one day and three days later it looks like a bomb went off inside.

I finally pulled the trigger. The box is ordered and will be in Wednesday. I have decided to mount it behind the trailer axles. This will mean the weight will be carried on the trailer rather than the truck. This is important because I have a higher legal capacity on the trailer. Those Weigh Stations you see along the interstate check weight on each set of axles as well as the total gross weight. There are limits for both. It's possible to be overweight on an axle but not be over total gross. It's still a ticket either way!

I am getting anxious about starting my trip. I have been looking at loads and there were more than 30 this morning going in all directions. I finally hooked up with my Phoenix Cuz and we will get together next Wednesday. I'm thinkin I'll find a load for Friday and work my way to the southwest.

My motorcycle ramp has been modified. This trailer sits higher than my old one so some adjustments were in order. I have not tried it out yet but it 'looks' like it will work. I'll worry about that later because the weather here has been near perfect for riding.

I must admit, Springtime around here is my favorite. The color is quite splendid with the Daisy's in bloom and the Tulips close behind. The cherry trees are full of blossoms as are the cottonwoods. The grass is 'greening' up and the dead, brown trees are showing hints of life as they begin to bud. The cool mornings warm up quickly with the sun. It suppose to be in the low 80s again today. Perfect!

I believe some '2-wheeled' therapy is in order!
