Had some fun Easter Sunday afternoon. I finally got my storage trailer to move from where it's been for a few years (we're putting in a buried irrigation line this weekend)

The trailer had sunk up to the brake cans in the soft dirt. And I've learned a LOT about air brakes ... but we finally got the trailer hooked to the truck and pulled out. I took it for a ride around the neighborhood before parking it.

Here's the rig

This is old hat for some of you professional drivers, but it was a heck of a lot of fun for me. Man, backing a big trailer is a heck of a lot easier than backing a little one ... wink

Hy John Milliman, never stop learning, when you stop learning you're beat. That was one of my dads favorite sayings, I'm glad you're having fun while you're learning.

I had almost forgotten about the old Brown reefer trailers. They were "the thing" in the in the 60's.

Nice truck John. There's a couple of long nose 9500 Jimmies around my town, still in use.

Yeah, considering that as the Jimmy, I'd have the hogs and I'd have to be 10 miles back ... frown
