    Ha, I was thinking the same thing but didn't mention it for fear of being considered uncouth! Actually, I really don't care if I am considered uncouth as it is somewhat of a prerequisite here!

    It's hard to play well with mittens and mukluks on. Probably have to hit the birdie juice just to survive!

    That’s the one. I would probably find a decent used 11. And keep both. At least for a while. I can buy a 302 jeep for my trailer, add a third lift cylinder and strap it, but it would still only be usable as a 9 axle. Jeep and neck would be too short to use the pusher. Might could get an intermediate axle for the stinger, but the mechanical spreader bar would be a weak point. And that would still only get me to 10. And in GA a 10 maxes out at 180. You are allowed 175 on a 9. So you really need 11. Which will be iffy because they max at 200. The crusher is 125-130. So you need to keep tare at 75k. Which would probably be the minimum tare for a 11.

    It’s a lot to it once you get over 8. Honestly more than I really want to deal with

    That is completely untrue.

    The OM and I have tried to bring culture and sophistication to the thread, but Opus just opens a ketchup packet and puts ketchup on it.

    When I was in the Navy, I was stationed in California, and Olympia was only sold in California at that time. It was a really good beer. Advance about 15 years, and they sold it in Texas so I bought a case and put a few cans in the freezer to hurry things up. Finally I popped a top, and took a big swig. I thought I accidentally picked up cat piss by mistake. I took one more swig, and it was definitely cat piss and Tom cat at that. My father in law came by shortly after that, and he would drink anything from drip gas to battery acid so long as it was free. Well, he left with that beer, and I was happy for him.

    Don’t hear of that too often. More likely the trailer or neck will break in half.

    sounds like a polite way to say many people here have questionable mental health and personality traits.
