Filled everything this morning including every empty gas can I have. It was a madhouse at the Sheetz in Reidsville at 0800. Went to Eden for the last vehicle, Hit it just right and was in and out in 15 minutes.
 
Going to add the sprayer I got from @kaiser715 to my roller and make it into a trailer with a cut down MH axle...

Not sure which is more concerning. Munchkin screaming "IVE GOT FFIIIIIIIIRRRRRREEEEEE" or Ollie just grinning sadisticly at it.
 
Possibly

(Arm chair quarterbacking)

With the movement seen in that video it's clear there was some serious force being applied. I'm no coaster engineer, but generic statics, dynamics, and strength of materials classes taught me that SOME flex should have been accounted for.

But.. I did NOT stay in a holiday inn express last night, and typically pic the wrong candidates to support (losers)
I agree on the Flex & force. Watching the video, I wondered about adding some sort of spring / shock absorber / or something to cushion the Force?
 
The Steel mill in N. Charlotte, uses scrap to make rebar. That's about all I know of them other than they sell a lot of Slag. One day I came up behind this rig. My question was why was he hauling this [formed] steel, to a scrap recycling processor?

One of our recent storms, finally overcame part of a dead tree, back of my property. Just couldn't drop it in the woods for me. Had to drop it in my yard! LOL Well some battery powered chain saw & some shoving from Little Deere, got it all back in place! While I was at it, some debris on the left side had rotted enough, to be pushed back too! Best thing, it was all in the Shade! :laughing:

We were in India cross training with their army and we did that once with a m2 .50 cal. It was a barrel set to get phased out and at night. I filmed it through NVG and if you slowed the video down you could see the projectile going through the barrel. It was still warm to the touch a couple hours later. The squadron armorer wasn’t impressed but the CSM got a laugh out of it so I was in the clear. That was a hell of a trip training next to ex soviet equipment.
