Default Re: Island dwellers attend Swap Meet

Funny thing Bob, when the state patrolman arrived and soothed my nerves that the pair of duals caused no injuries, he complimented me on my load securing skills. I had five or six 2" ratchet straps holding the load of timbers to my flatbed. My brake drum exploded after the wheels left and the flange left a deep groove in the pavement that remains after nearly eight years. Hiway 20 in Burlington Wa.
