[AT] Little OT-trailer wheels

[Lew Best]

Hey gang

Sorry I kind of dropped off the list for a while.  I went to look at the
trailers & had pretty well decided against them.  While I was there (I'd
hurt my leg a few weeks before; got better then worse then better, etc.) but
was walking "pretty good" I thought.  The trailers were in a bunch of weeds
& I fell; heard something snap or pop real loud & couldn't get up.  I ended
up in the Houston VA hospital; had a total hip replacement & feel better now
than I did before the fall.  I was there 2 weeks to the day after the fall;
no internet or email so I really missed yall.  I am home now though & they
said I should see full recovery!

No never heard of it but it is a great idea.  I've chained axles up before
but that's lots simpler than jacking the trailer up.  As to the kero & oil
that would get REAL EXPENSIVE these days.

Lew I shared that because I realized you probably didn't know what I meant 
about chaining up the axle.  It's second nature to me.  Back in the 70's, 
trucking in rural areas without the help of cell phones truckers had to 
figure out how to get home the best they could.  I've also put kerosene and 
motor oil in the fuel tank of a diesel truck when no diesel fuel was 
available.  I used to know the proper mix but I've forgotten.  Seems like 
about a quart of motor oil to every 10 gals of kerosene or maybe every 5 
gals.
