Thread: Pulling the trigger....

YEEEEEEEHAW!

Not a scratch on it. They actually unpacked it for me an let me inspeact it before I signed for it. They even helped me get it up on the roof of my HHR.

Won't be car-topping this beasty. My HHR does not have decent Anchor points front or back.

Looks like Trailex in my future.

Sunday I start Mods, so it'll be raining, snowing, storming, east coast blackouts, plagues.... something.

Man was that a prophetic declaration. Just 2 days early.

Was cloudy when I left werk... as I'm strapping her down to the roof (universal foam blocks) it cut loose a gully washer. By the time I hopped in the car to head home I was soaked though rain gear, jacket, shirt.... everything soaked. Drying out the contents of my wallet too (Hope I don't get busted for laundering money) .

As I hit the street I hear we are under a tornado watch.... perfect... me with a yak on the rack. Planned for long way home to avoid the interstate and wind gusts. Still had to stop a few time to adjust the load.

Got hit once by a right angle wind that had me pulled over for 10 minutes.

Last 5 miles was highway... no other choice... but the Good Lord was watching out for me. Driving head on into 20 MPH wind... and traffic was moving at 25-30 mph.

Took me 3 hours to get home safely.

Yak is ensconced in the garage atop my balloon gondola.

Hot shower time... I'm soaked an freezing.
