Bet he's not running ST tires on THAT trailer! Can also tell he's using a Hensley Arrow, that boat is not swaying at ALL!

Back to the boat. It really pissed me off at the lake, waiting to launch while that dude had the ramp tied up to six hours in the morning and then again in the evening as we were both trying to head home at the same time! Next week I am getting there 30 minutes earlier!!!!!

I had a garbage can smash into the back of my camper once. It was chained to a pole with the site number on it. I gave the broken number sign to the manager, so he would know which can to blame. I expected remuneration, but he said not to worry about it. I left in a huff.

Sure, I went back there to camp the next year. I figure let bygones be bygones. That and my DW insists on keeping an eye on the reckless cans now. I feel a little safer.

I'm a Broncos fan, but I'm glad the Hawks won my pick. My arch pool nemesis bet on SF. ๐Ÿ™‚

You will not get your two mice at the big apple, rumour has it they will be in Na Jearsee or some such place. The big apple might be near it tho. Kinda like washington DC and state are the in the same part of the world too1

Glad the hogs won, but not going to say they deserved it, got lucky maybe.............

A place I go to upon occasion moves these with in the yard they build them at with a articulated front loader!

I'm sure that truck in the foreground does not have a per say manufactures gcw, but with all them tires etc, they HAVE displaced the load such that they are not damaging the roads, AS MOST if not ALL countries, counties, cities etc enforce weight laws, ie how much max load per sq ft/inch is on the road so it does not flex or fall down.

Then as noted, depending upon the grade, how fast the SP/DOT says they need to travel, at what hrs of the day etc, they may put a 2nd, 3rd or more rigs with motors to up the HP such that they can travel at the speed required, OR< they get a ticket for going too slow!

Now of course, a super yacht much like this had a lighthouse run into it, you can read about it HERE. It was Paul Allens old boat, he had no comment about the light house operator hitting his old boat..........

They didn't take the freeway. The load traveled U.S. 12, only at night.

As for the boat, I wonder why they didn't trim those trees? That is too nice a boat to risk scratches from tree limbs!
Oh, and it looks like there are a LOT of tires under that trailer!


Maybe I'm getting my Mega's mixed up, so many lately :B

From the linked article:
"Each load - destined for the Calumet Refinery in Great Falls, Mont. - is 472 feet long, 27 feet wide, 16 feet tall and weighs 1.6 million pounds."
Yep, different load.
