Ya Bob; it's been looking like it's gonna rain for a couple of days now but we have gotten nothing from it.
They had out a flash flood warning last night for parts of Vegas, but I am not in a flood area.
I am at about 2,500 feet above sea level, I guess it's a good thing most of my car are fuel injected, with brains.
Then when I drive down out of the mountain they can adjust them selves for the altitude change.
Thanks Barb, your gonna have to update me on your project.
You are so right Dave moving ain't no fun, blew a trailer tire left rear 600 miles into the trip.
That took out the tail light, fender and lost my plate, aluminum rim is stiill good.
I could not even tell because it was about 3 am and dark, the wife pulled up beside me and told me.
Had my floor jack on the back of the trailer so it was an easy fix.
It then rained almost all of the way out and kept my tires cool even thru most of Texas, which made me happy.
I scaled my trailer just to see what weight I was pulling up and down the mountains.
It's weight was just a little over 6,000 pounds with the ranchero and wooden box's I built to carry all my shop stuff in.
Then I had my 6 foot tall stainless steel smoker on the very back of my trailer, I got that off last night.
I'll have to take a photo of it before I finish unloading it. I raised the ranchero body about 3 feet up off the trailer,
u bolted the front of the frame to the front of the trailer rail. Then I lifted the back of the car up and welded a 2 X 4 bar
acrossed the back of the trailer in the rear wheel wells of the Ranchero, then I u bolted that down as well.
Then took and put stuff under the car, it worked out nice. Thought I would get pulled over in every state with no plates
on the back, but I didn't get pulled over one time. Thanks Lamin8er the wife and I are real happy with the climate.
The best thing is she loves the house and property, she had never seen it, but in photo's before we got here.
Kurt
