Nice cow bell alarm.

Not sure about that; probably needs more cowbell.

best bet though is to set up a lounge chair and have you go at your favorite beverage at a boat launch.

I have been laughed at in this situation. I went boating in a very expensive boat. Returning to dock, the owner said "you handle the boat while I go get the truck and trailer." I have no boating experience.

I was between two docks in a fairly tight space with other boats around, and others putting in and taking out. I was a jangled mess, making 10,000 micro-adjustments to avoid hitting anything. How I did not hit something is something of a miracle.

As I was getting fuel today, this pulled up on the other side of the island. View attachment 610615
Hmmmm... So we had a short conversation:
Me : Sir, did you know you are missing your dust caps?
Him: Yea, I have been meaning to get some new ones.
Me: Pretty hard on bearings to let dirt in.
Him: Those are pretty new bearings.
Me, to myself: probably will do no good to offer the use of my tire gauge... out of state plates, so he probably went righ back to highway. I should have shot a temp on his hubs and tires.

I was intrigued by the difference in the two trailer wheels. The one on the left looks brand new; even the wheel studs are different (shorter) than the other one. I'm guessing this guy has had other issues with his trailer...failed wheel bearings will just be one more.

Notice how he has a 2" ball and 1 7/8" coupling. Safety first.

That's not on the road is it? Hopefully just moving around the parking lot. Looks like a 2" coupler or smaller, sitting on top of a 2 5/16" ball. Notice the trailer light plug hanging free, and a plug adaptor sitting on the bumper.

Yep. Launch ramps provide endless weekend entertainment. I lived next to one for years on my boat and there was always something fun to do when I was home.

I needed to move the little tractor and this was the most convenient rig. I sure hope the bucket and box blade isn’t too much tongue weight..

Looks like plenty of truck and trailer. In the picture, it looks like the truck is on a slight slope, making the tongue look heavier. It’s hard for me to tell, from the picture.

There was a bit of sarcasm there. The trailer would haul 4 times that much.
