sunday again

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

got things done but no energy left to put them down lately.

Got the 12×60 jacked up off the dozer and dozer out of the mud. boards and a lot of digging got me under the tongue. hooked a chain to the tongue and dozer. broke the chain. tied it back together and tried again but felt it going so quit.

got the blade mount chained together where it is broken and put a trailer ball in the front blade pin hole on one side and got it under the tongue and managed to lift the front enough to start backwards. got it moved a foot or so at a time and repositioned a few times then moved the ball to another mount hole closer to the side pivot and was able to lift it free of the ground and move it onto solid ground.

Got the trailer tongue up on blocks and then jacked it up enough to get the truck under it but the guy that was helping me miscalculated distance and had me back into the tongue knocking it off the jack and blocks and onto the ground. got it jacked back up but was dark so will go and try again.

got 4×4's between the axles and frame so the truck won't bottom out. hope it doesn't break the springs or rear end… if so back to the drawing board.

hope to get it moved beside the 14 wide so we can put boards between to clear the books and stuff out of the 12 wide. should be fun…

guess now is as good a time as any to go and see if the truck will handle the trailer with the 4×4's between the fame and axles. then again don't know if any time will be a good time for that…
