Sitting out the worst March winds I have ever known for Oklahoma.   
Finally today it died down.   Have ahd 35 to 45 sustained winds here 
since Sunday.  Wife & I both have a severe respiratory problems and with 
the fires upwind now, it is really bad.  You can see the ash floating in 
the air down here 80 miles away.    I finally bought a hydraulic 
dovetail trailer, Picked it up Saturday,  and spent yesterday and this 
morning getting my old 2000 Chevy 1ton to actuate the electric brakes. 
It seems the controller has been the problem for the last 10 years...  
The Chevy dealer hooked it up wrong years ago.  After going from the 
firewall to the bumper,  the brakes work!!   First time I have had 
electric brakes working on a trailer in 25 years..    It is a Load Max 
22000lb 30 ft x 8.5 ft pintle hitch dual tandem with a hydraulic 
dovetail and hydraulic jacks.  It is unreal how quickly it can be hooked 
up and load and unload. First  time today got to use it hauling my MIL's 
Cadillac.  Now I can move the old tractors around to the other fields 
and have a truck with me without having to get my wife to follow me.  
Picking up those ramps was just getting too much to handle.

As you get older, you tend to get nicer toys to play with..   Now to get 
the C8500 Chevrolet with the Cat motor and Allison finished to pull it.  
I have to say it was the easiest trailer I ever pulled with that old gas 
engine Chevrolet.  I really did not feel like I needed a diesel with 
that 454..
