What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[Greg_L]

Apparently, you totally missed the point … Read for yourself.
But Thanks anyway…I’m done here.

Cool, because clearly you are not good at this.

Nice fish.
What is that? Red Drum?

No, that's his cousin, the Black Drum. Arguably more tasty and less restrictive bag size/limits.

I did not keep them though. I mostly practice CPR....Catch, Photo, Release. I didn't even measure these for fun. I think they were oversized but still small-ish for "bull" Black Drum. I've caught WAY bigger Black Drum than those.

Didn't do anything really exciting with the Gladiator today. I retrieved the teardrop from storage, pulled off the wheels and tires, got the existing tires mounted on the new wheels, deployed the solar panels to charge up the batteries (I am headed out of town for a few days of camping next week), and while the batteries charge, I will put the wheels and tires back on.

We drove out to my oldest daughter’s farm and were surprised to see two new kids being born.

hooked up the trailer, and went to harbor freight to buy a gantry crane. I needed a forklift, chain hoist, and come along to get it onto the trailer. Getting it into the house (you heard that right) to assemble and do the craziness I have planned should be bonkers tomorrow. The crate was about 900lbs.

Get some rollers and drag it with your winch

I love my enclosed trailer with rear ramp door. But picking up items like that is when I sure miss my old utility trailer with removable side rails.

No question. It was still great, but a side load with a fork lift would have been way easier.

I opened the crate in the trailer, but need to get the parts upstairs a flight of stairs for assembly. The two main uprights must be 350 each, if I had to guess.

Go to your Big Box DIY store and buy some 4" PVC and cut it down to a little bit wider than the box. Lift one end and place underneath. Start pushing and have someone assist with placing the other pieces. Easy Day.

Good idea. I’ve got rolling dollies I made years ago to move a safe. Now that the crate is in pieces and parts are in the garage, I need to get them up a flight of stairs. I already went back to the old house last night and loaded up more boxes and furniture. Need to unload that stuff before getting yelled at by the forewoman.

That’s a project in itself. You need a crane for the crane.
A sheet of plywood and rollers but pretty sketchy
