Don,
Just remember, it can always be worse. Have you seen the commercial where
the guy is cutting a tree and it falls on top of his car.

It can always be worse.

For some reason, that line always reminds me of "Young Frankenstein".

Finally got around to renting a firewood splitter for 4 hours this
afternoon. It's the type with a nice little Honda 5.5hp motor that
splits going both ways and is licensed as a trailer for the road.
First problem...it has a 2" coupler while I have a 1&7/8th" hitch ball.
Figured what the heck, I'll wrap the safety chain a bit tighter and
drive the short distance at 40 km per hr.
Squeezed the unit past my sailboat and into the back yard where I had a
pile of large ash branches cut up after a storm.
Went well ..even the 20" diameter stuff, although the pieces were heavy
lifting, carrying and placing on the splitter.
When taking back the unit I slightly overshot their driveway so I tried
to back up. What a stupid thing to do with a trailer I couldn't see
behind me.
Yep..I jacknifed, dented and scraped my van hatch door and broke a
backup light. (I believe it's all one unit with the taillight)


BBAAWWWAHHHHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Um...er...oh, gee Don - sorry to hear that.

BBBAAAWWWWAAAHHHHAAAAA!!!!!

Really - I'm very....

BBBAAAWWWAAAHHHHHHAAAAA!!!!

Peace be with you and your family this season.


Same to you.

If it makes you feel any better, I jack knifed my Ranger trailer this
past season and took out my tail gate on my F-250.

Not a whole lot....well maybe a little.
