When I sold my Dodge 3500 sold it for $3000 and a bottle of Knob Creek, didn’t know but the buyer was under 21. He got the bottle somehow.
He called back this afternoon. Headed this way Monday, stay overnight, wants it and will take it home Tuesday. Started boxing up the loose parts.

Going to be hauling on a 20T Tag trailer(Electric Brakes) behind a GMC Top Kick(Hydraulic Brakes) Dump truck 3116(?) Cat 5&2. FA weighs 24,000, Plus second bucket Plus two pallets spares. 300 miles, Clinton IA.
Hope the road is cleared and no one is near when he has to stop. I’m shiting myself with my current load on electric brakes and it’s only 10T back there and I got air brakes on this rig.

He doesn't have a good way to get home either from your place. Going to go up 61 and river road it? Got some hills between your place and his...

Farm tags and hope for the best?

NO Idea, he just laid out what he had as far as equipment. Not even certain truck or he is licensed for the weight or if has any considerations as to CDL requirements once add the trailer on with the loader on it. His pathway was 19 to US54 to Hannibal/Palmyra area, then 61 on into Davenport. From there he goes to Comanche IA. Once leaves Gasconade County and gets past Montgomery City MO is pretty well flat to Hannibal. Can get hilly north of Palmyra but not Ozark's quality. That and as soon as accepts it and leaves, it is ALL His.

Should have been 40x60 or 80 but money was tighter then times in '29!! Workshop as well, 40x60 was the intent, the 30x48 was what could muster. And 12x10/20 does not sound like much but for the barn was over a grand in truss and another grand in tin plus girt lumber and added post, Shop would have gone from $54k (incl Concrete) to closer to $80. Really set pen to paper as to what could afford at the time but wanted/needed bigger, still do.

I'm glad it isn't me hauling it. Sounds like a recipe for tragedy. That's a job for a tandem with air on both truck & trailer, lots of the extra stuff in the truck.

Explained that to him, does not want to spend a grand+ to get it moved, would have been cheap if has accident. Currently here is $3 loaded mile within 200 miles where anything beyond I have not quoted.

Just on fuel, wear on truck/trailer not dependent if he has a blowout on his 20t tag or truck or if gets fined by Brown Shirt DOT boys he will be near to half what would cost to have hauled. Cheap is NOT always good.

Plus his time involved. People neglect to count the value of their own time when weighing the cost of something like this.

He will have two full days of travel/layover without incidents. Had he come down in car or pickup said yea or nay and went home maybe a day. Still have stuff done and let hauler move machine, is what I did when bought both the runner and donor.

OK, OK , OK, so the Wife winds me up today, wants to watch STL Cards games, had bought a Disney ESPN Package, could NOT figure out why would NOT "Cast" to TV as she KNEW that was how it was done, so after three weeks of fiddle farting with that she gave up and cancelled Disney/ESPN account. Sees can get thirty day FREE trial thru HULU Same promise, Local NEWS and Sports, so Goes Downstairs, Logs in thru GOOGLE to HULU and Buys a monthly account($55/Mo). Goes Upstairs, NO locals on TV under HULU same as with Disney. Gets frustrated, keeps throwing the remote to ME to "Fix It", I keep throwing it back as SHE Needs to KNOW how to do this. I tell her to go Downstairs and figure out HOW to load the TV as does not show as on account as supported device on my Phone. She avoids this as has a PLAGUE!! Finally after four HOURS of her attempts, pushing SAME buttons thru SAME Menus over and over and over I go Downstairs and Log onto HULU. Check account status, Three Devices, My phone Hers, and PC, Need to ADD the TV, Took FIVE WHOLE MINUTES, explain that TO her FOUR MORE TIMES. Finally She Logs OUT of HULU on the TV and Logs in with Current Account ID and PW, VOILA!!! ALL The GD Stations she could not get are THERE!!!!!!! Most probably what was wrong with Disney ESPN, but she would NOT log into PC to figure it out.

My Bl Pr has to be ELEVATED past the 45th Floor, GD SOB AAAAAAUUUUUURRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SH!T Buttman How is she EVER going to survive if could NOT figure this out????

Well not surprised the tire kicker has not shown to the hotel, no calls(has my number) so suspect cold feet, scared, or something bad happened enroute. Suspect Not gonna show or contact in any form.
