Its my handier-than-a-pocket-on-a-tee-shirt strap roller and it rocks!
These straps are 4 inches wide, 30 feet long and have a heavy chain on the end. Rollin' these fellas up by hand are a real pain (in the hand that is) and this makes life just a little bit easier.
Hey, I have to have some fun, ya know?
Did anyone see the news story yesterday about the West Virginia truck driver?
George Lantzy, witnessed a woman driver having a heart attack while driving her car. He managed to maneuver his truck in front of her car, brake his truck and slow her car down and prevent a serious accident.
Fast thinking, and great job, George!
We are traveling directly across the “palm” of Michigan today, east to west, from the shores of Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. We are back up into the north’s cooler temps, 29 when we first woke up this morning, rising only into the mid-thirties. High today should get about 10 degrees warmer than that. If we are lucky.
We get the first part of our load off by 9 am. Last night we stayed right in the parking lot of the Tractor supply and start getting unloaded at 8am. I ran in to do some shopping, Three of our straps frayed on the trailers, despite the padding under them, and need to be replaced. Luckily they have some in stock.
Tractor Supply is now officially my new favorite store, I had a ball walking around and looking at all the horse themed home and garden items, not to mention a huge selection of John Deere clothing and Ararat boot. I’m one of those rare woman that hate to shop, but give me a Tractor Supply, or a Bed, Bath and Beyond and I’m good to go. Kitchen gadgets and snaffle bits, that’s all me right there. I’ll also spend hours walking around a Scheel’s, Gander Mountain or Bass Pro Shop.
They had a quartet of adorable long haired bunnies for sale for $15 each. Boy, was I tempted. They were just so cute. Grudgingly I pass on the bunnies. . alas, I had to satisfy myself with just looking at all the great horse and John Deere goodies they had., which almost made up for it.
We make it to our second Tractor Supply and despite some very cold winds and snow showers, get that load off as well. Amazingly, we get a load offer within half an hour. Back down to Detroit in the morning to pick up some crane parts for a wind farm near Corpus Christi . At least we know it will be a lot warmer back in Texas.
