Busy week. 17 hour days, average. I should stop doing that. Two items of note:<\/p>\n
This morning, on the way to a gig, I get in like behind this guy whose eyebrows are SO bushy I can see them from the back. <\/p>\n
Both of them<\/p>\n
And he’s wearing a wide brimmed hat<\/p>\n
They stick out from under the brim<\/p>\n
They protrude at least an inch and three quarters past the side of his head. It’s like a fu manchu mustache on his forehead. <\/p>\n
On the way back from said gig, I come on a guy changing the tire on his trailer. <\/p>\n
he has an Avalanche. Empty. <\/p>\n
In the trailer is a stack of rolls of sod at least four feet high.<\/p>\n
He’s broken his Avalanche jack trying to lift the trailer. The trailer has crushed one tire, and the other is about to go. Brand new tires. <\/p>\n
I stop and help.<\/p>\n
“Do you have a jack?”
\n“yeah, but it won’t lift that”
\n“What do you mean?”
\n“The sod weighs too much. It’ll just break my jack. Let’s offload some sod till you get the tire fixed”<\/p>\n
We proceed to about empty the trailer. Each roll of sod weighs about 40 lbs.<\/p>\n
me:”Do you see that “load rating” on the tire? What does it say?”
\nHim: “rated for 490 lbs”
\nMe: “How many rolls of this sod do you have?”
\nHim: “90”
\nme:”……..”
\nhim:(light flickering over his head) ” Oh. I guess this is too much for the trailer”
\nme: “Why not put about half or better in the truck?”
\nhim: ” Well, I was hoping to keep it clean, but I guess i better”<\/p>\n
I help him load his shit up and hit the road.<\/p>\n
Where do they come from?<\/p>\n
