Jason, how the h....

why the ....

where in the....   

never mind, you can tell me the story some time over a pop.  Thats some funny stuff right there!  Are you sure your not from the UP? 

Now, the only wonder I have is why is that log still sitting over there?  Since your so dang smart, why'nt ya figure out how much it weighs and I'll see if I can pick it up with my FEL and we'll go move it.  I'll have to see if I can find the pics of my 8000#GVW trailer with about 14,000#s of logs sitting on it. 

Hey, d'ja ever here that your only supposed to tow 7000#s with a toyota tundra?   :D

I've had 7k rolling behind that Explorer. ::)

You could move the butt of that log as it's in four pieces, it's the second log that still weighs a lot. :-\
Plan to mill it right there.............. when all the cards come together at some point.



Dave,
Back when I was getting rid of busted concrete the hard way (before Stump Jumper brought the loader and dump trailer down), I was unloading the big pieces the same way.
Long as she was coupled, every thing was fine.
Uncoupling was touch and go.
Almost took out my rear window one time. :-\
With that much overhang on that trailer, I can see a head popping of real easy, but just catching the tounge across the gut hurts like heck! :o :'(
