Lazy Man's Truck Loader..

This is what happens when your wife decides she wants something that's too heavy for you to lift by yourself and you have to drive out of town to pick it up.

Ingredients:
1 Truck (with large dent in the side)
1 Wench (harbor freight 49.99)
1 2x6 (scrap)
2 3 foot chains (about 10 bucks)
and a wife that really wants something (priceless??)

Here is the view from the back of the truck.















And from the side...


I also built a custom "cart" to load items onto that just does fit into the bed. It still has the oven on it, but I'll try to upload a pic the next time we go down to the shop.

Free tech advice :)

I've noticed recently a few people have had some issues embedding video's with the new blogger. From what I've seen this started because the new blogger is more strict on tags being closed. You should still be able to copy the "embed" html code and paste it in the the 'Edit Html' section just make sure there is an </embed> tag, if there is not a </embed> tag then simply put one in before </object> and you should have no problems publishing. Not completely sure why some videos would have the tag closed and others do not, but this is what I've found to be the culprit each time it has happen to me.

** Updated so you could see the tags, took a few min to figure out i had to use the escape codes for it.. if you ever need to do this they have a great list here

Formed/Defromed/Transformed... Informed?


At least where I live, I'm pretty sure these folks are getting the little comments for their signs from the same place. This particular one we saw twice in the same day. The first one i didn't have the camera with me, but the second one I snapped a shot of. As soon as we passed it my wife says to me, "Does that mean Darwin Informed us?" I love that girl! ;)
