    I’ve had good luck with Yakima stuff, both construction and recreational. I think of myself as not an idiot, plenty of OCD, and read instructions and most importantly, don’t overload cargo. Shit on the roof really hits the gas mileage,especially canoes.
    I’m max out

    You'd never make it out here. These construction guys overload trailers like nobody else. If it's a 20' trailer it's going to carry 20' of material no matter what it is...lumber, pipe, mortar, redi-mix, sand and gravel, whatever. That entire trailer deck will be full...and no lights. I seen a guy with a bed liner on a trailer loaded full of tree trimmings with a tarp tied over the top to the holes in the bedliner...nothing strapped to the trailer itself. It flew great and luckily slid to the road side.

    No I get it, light stuff, step ladder, extension ladder. If you’re getting serious you need the commercial grade stuff

    Nope, not today

    :fingerscrossed: you find something soon

    Feel better Andy

    :eek: :fingerscrossed: Does the boat still float? You might need to row it out

    Not it!!!

    My ex BIL was towing a boat and the boat "drove" past him down the road. As my ex and son say he is an idiot. He couldn't keep a job - was fired from everyone he ever got :notsure:

    :wave: evening all

    Hope tomorrow is a better day for you @ImpulseRed008. My mother in law is 90, been having some issues, wife is pretty stressed, I try to help as much as I can. The in law thing makes it awkward for me. Try and have a good night.:mad:

    Something in the background, that was Maggie our bear alarm. Terrified of thunder, but don’t mess with the family. She woke us up many times camping

    Covid is going around again why they tested me. I waited until I was coughing up black specks of irradiated tumor along with lung material to get the vid, no sense messing around just half assed. The Paxlovid for Covid is no joy at the other end either.

    Sorry deathly allergic to cats, no kitty chants here. Suck it up buttercup? We're here for you Andy.

    The original rubbermaid action packers. On the roof, in the trailer, etc. I had Yakima as well.
