Trailer Rental

Post by Steve Simmons »

I need to rent a trailer and it's going to cost me $15 plus tax, insurance and gas so probably $40 by the time I'm done. Anyone local to me have a trailer and want to make the $40 for a short job? It's moving a 1500 pound piece of equipment a couple miles from where it is now to my garage. I'd rather pay a friend $40 than a rental yard. The equipment is on wheels but might be hard to roll (it's old and has metal wheels) so I'll bring a winch along just in case. Need to do it soon.

What did you buy? It is 59 tons too light to be the M1 Abrams tank that I know you want... Hmm. IBM PC XT?

I used to play on the giant mainframe at my dad's work when I was a kid. And the punch card machines. The computer took up a two story building and had a very small fraction of the computing power my telephone has today.

I'm buying something that could probably take a round from that M1 tank without too much damage.
