Who else has luck like this.......?!

[scoutcub]

Sooo there I was.....backing up my trailer up a slope to onload a tractor on my property. Left the truck/trailer, went and got the tractor. When I got to the trailer, I realized I didn't have the trailer quite centered on the trail, and would move the truck/trailer to make loading easier. Let the truck move forward a few feet, and angled the trailer a bit to center it up. Started backing up, but felt like the parking brake was on.....checked....no......spinning tires with empty trailer...hmmmm? What the hel...OK....put in 4wd.....now front tires are spinning as well.....WHAT THE HEl_??/
Get out, look around and this is what I see. There are 2 oil wells on my property, connected (used to be) to each other.....I caught the open end of the STURDY pipe and it did a perfect noose job.....got it so tight backing up nothing was going anywhere. Fortunately didn't hurt anything, just drove forward to "unnoose" it.....but what's the chances...????

Scoutcub, that looks like something that I would do. I usually say, beneath my breath, "I couldn't do that if I'd tried"! Looks to me like you were trying to test your safety chains against some 2 3/8" upset tubing left over from your well.

I wasn't so lucky. When I got out to see why the trailer wouldn't back up further, I discovered that the door of one of my other trucks was the problem.

If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all!

Right now I wish I had that good of luck..... If it had been me, that probably would have been the drive shaft wound up in the chains.
