  1. the head band light? Mine was > $100 I heard...I did not buy it of course. Has a laser pointer also.
  2. Cops liked them. However, the rechargeable "clip on the bill of your hat" LED lights are great. I got one in my stocking for being a good girl!
  3. Resolutions: I belong to a sailing club but not active; I don't race my boat. It's a 'One Class ' design , a Thistle. The racing rules are strict with respect to the boat dimensions , weight and gear. I have crewed with guys racing their boats. Soooo,,,,I am refitting and refurbishing " MR BLUE" (that's my boat name. The Fleetwoods song..""Mr. Blue": Our guardian star lost all his glow The day that I lost you. He lost all his glitter the day you said..." He is hanging in the barn from a 'chain fall' so I can lower him down and work on him.
  4. Some people's resolutions tend to encompass Bad habits,,,You know correcting same. "Don't throw Bad habits out the window; but rather walk them downstairs one step at a time" (paraphrased)...Mark Twain
  5. we haven't seen Weebee's NY resolutions....
  6. Resolution #5. Make more wine (and drink) this year!
  7. He will be skiing this Friday...And plowing snow off the driveways of the girls next door!
  8. You are right too much tongue weight probably too much mascara also...
  9. Well Thank you! I took a shower. I am standing on an 8 inch concrete block to make me look taller...LOL My arms look like a football player...😵‍💫
  10. The SXS looks good on it.
  11. yes you guys are right, the trailer is overloaded with the tractor. The electric breaks worked great but the position of the trailer axle is wrong. And as was pointed out the trailer should be tandem axle for the load. The trailer works ok with my sand rail and very good with my SxS. It is really too heavy for the Foreman.
  12. The new year brings new challenges and opportunities.. Loose weight, exercise more, go fly fishing again and go ATVing more with friends.
  13. My uncle hit a guy across his head with MAg lite 4 cell flash light. He said he swung as hard as he could . The guy just rolled over and did not move. It splt the guys head like a mus mellon. Blood pouring over his face. My uncle said he figured he :"Kilt him" ( Killed him ..flatlander speech) My uncle said he was busy trying to make sure his female deputy sheriff partner could breathe. The guy had her down coking her. My uncle said it was faster to hit the guy than shoot him and risk hitting his partner. He said while he was reviving his partner the guy got up and ran, The mag lite is aircraft grade aluminum.
  14. The big Mag light with five batteries like Grandpa has? It's like a Billy club
  15. The frame is 2 x6 box tubing. I am concerned about the amount of rust inside the tubing frame. However, when I loaded the Mahindra the tongue was on the ground as shown and the trailer frame did not sag much as I backed on and then unloaded. I like the front ramps i made. Loading from the trailer with long ramps at the back of the trailer is scary to me.
  16. 3 days til Christmas season is over ....A new Chain saw. I got bourbon by the glass LOL
  17. #cdays left in the Christmas season. What was the best thing you got?
  18. I do not know trailer weight. But you are correct that is needed. I loaded it with grandpa's tractor to go help my cousin move her yard fence. The tractor with loader and bucket is 3,700 Lbs. The tongue wt even loaded as shown was huge.
  19. That was right after College and started Belly dancing to loose weight. But the karate work outs helped more as the girls brought snacks to the sessions OMG!
  20. Hmmm...The rear to the ball is 21 feet, And deck is 16 feet. There is a lot of tongue weight when empty. It was made for a heavy inboard out board boat.
  21. Yes up and down ladders 50 times !
  22. lifting 6 inch Ibeam up to 8 foot height safely was with two (2) hoists. I stayed above the beam while lifting . One end sits on bracket secured to 6 x 6 post w (2) 1/2 inch bolts and beam bolted directly to the 6 x 6 post with 3/8 in bolt to prevent lateral or rotational movement on support bracket. Most anticipated loads are less than 1000 lbs; e.g. , zero turn mower, motor cycles (loading and unloading on trailer), and front end of Sand rail. 3/4 tn rachet hoist and trolly from Harbor freight. The antique drill press from Grandpa...LOL
  23. Yeah...when the trailer weighs as much as the towing vehicle weight I get worried especially when the trailer does not have brakes. I think I'll look at moving the axle forward on my 16 foot bed length single axle and just use the Tundra when towing both sxs and ATV. I will need t pick up a 6 x 10 light trailer for xnprng the sxs.
  24. Maybe I should give up on the Highlander towing idea. The Tundra has the factory electric brake controller with adjustable gain and manual brake over ride. The Highlander does not have that. Towing in W Va brakes are nice. Two years ago I came upon an accident. A guy towing an off road Jeep CJ 5 with a Minivan He lost it on a sharp curve. His daughter in back seat died when the sliding door opened and then shut on her.
