Good morning!!!!

Drew, you can get one of these..... makes moving over gravel much easier!

The double wheel ones give a much larger contact patch to roll over gravel.

Or... one of these....

PJ, at least no one got hurt. A real shame that low-lifes don't care if anything / anyone are in the crossfire. Could have been much worse!

More shots fire again today, about a dozen, just about an hour ago. Seems we're in the middle of someone else's feud here.

I've been thinking about getting one of those HF trailer dollies, LS, since we have a couple of them to move around these days. The kayak trailer is light enough to move by hand even when loaded. However, the Rice utility trailer seems to be getting heavier with each passing year.

Or a different jack with lockable wheel on bottom?

Amazon offers this trailer jack wheel, Drew. I have one on the 5/8 trailer here, but it only has one wheel and is hard to move on gravel and soft ground.

When I got home yesterday, I had to unload the motorcycle from the back of the U-Haul box van. I managed to get it turned around with a lot of tugging and sliding, but there was no way I could walk beside it to ease it down the ramp because the ramp was too narrow. It was slightly uphill to the back of the van, so I had to paddle the bike up to the top of the ramp to get the front wheel started down. Then gave it a big push with both feet and woosh! It was down the ramp pretty much with me just along for the ride. An adrenaline moment I really didn't need. Hope your off load was less exciting.

Any way you can telecommute from home until the shooting stops, Paul? What does your company management have to say about the safety environment with bullets flying through the air?

I've got one of those HF trailer dollies. Those are handy for small light trailers, they lessen the need to bend over. But they may not do well on gravel/driveway stone, I've only used mine on concrete and asphalt.

I looked at the HF push trailer dolly and wasn't sure I could generate enough push. But if I'm not trying to herniate myself picking up the whole thing, perhaps
I could use that energy in pushing. That just may be the answer short of Popgadget designing me a miniature airport pushback tractor...

I got it back in but what a hassle. Heave grunt might as well have been back in Egypt.
Yes to the double wheel. Not sure the foot on this one is removable, I will check that first.
Otherwise I'll just replace the whole thing, they aren't expensive.
I've got an order in for more gravel, likely shavings to go down on the existing 3/4 clean. Or maybe 3/8. something that will pack down.

everything is put away, watered, and now time maybe for quick nap. Was up most of night, waking up almost every hour. Didn't have indigestion, wasn't dreaming, or needing bathroom.
I'll catch up tonight

Good Afternoon,

leg spasms have stopped for now. Doing inside work today.

Buckeye, they already totaled me and my salvage value was really low...

not sure what I missed, I hope things are okay and getting better

I have been working on our budget again.
I dropped the CC credit limit by $4500 on one card that wife uses. She is out of town, I didn't want to cancel that card ... yet
I cancelled some CC cards that I never requested or use (they transferred over to a different lender via Costco) ... so that drops another $2000 credit down.
The one card that I still have for rare use, is paid off and I don't need it, so I may drop the limit on that one also.
Trying to make things more manageable.

That's my excitement for the day

I’m guessing Paul could whip up a great solution involving your rider mower and that HF dolly Ted linked. Facing forward on mower of course so ad to not stress neck.
