It's a perfect truck for hauling a fully loaded chicken coop around the yard!Nice truck, a dually too. Now you can haul everything out of Menards.

I got a 2 wheel dolly with the same size tires.Thanks for the info on the wheels.
I wanted to give a like for this.
And laugh at this.
I got this two-wheeler dolly on sale and it was steal. I read the reviews saying that the pneumatic tires don't hold air. (and they don't). But it was totally worth it to buy the two-wheeler even if I had to change the wheels.
Ideally, I would like to get solid rubber wheels but, every wheel I have looked at online that had solid rubber wheels, had plastic rims. (Not sure if rims is the right word.)
I bought it probably getting close to 30 years ago.
It's got split rims, meaning to change the inner tubes you simply unbolt the two halves of the rim. No cussing at pry bars n shit.
I think they quit making split rims because stupid people would attempt to separate them while there's air in the tires, and then just like every other idiot, they think it's the manufacturers fault and they sue.

Ha, ha! Like UPS and FedEx being named as defendants in a suit in which they transported the weapons that killed some idiot that was shot buy some idiot that bought the guns illegally. And because they pick the most anti-gun jury for these cases, it's a lose/lose for all.
If I were the Judge, I'd just look at the case and say, 'Really? You're wasting my time with this? DISMISSED!'

Or, they aren't ruling by the law, but by their political leanings.
Chairman Mao, would be proud of the country he began molding 50 years ago.

Stupid hospital's stupid records office apparently lost the release form my dad signed when I dragged his crippled old bones down here last week to get my mom's medical records to send to my aunt's doctor in Springfield Missouri.
My mom's older sister has been diagnosed with the same type of cancer that killed my mom. So Mom's records might help save my aunt.
Every time I call, it's like the signal is cutting out. Even when I tried Sarah's phone.
So I came all the way down here in bullshit traffic, through the medical district with old people going 6 mph everywhere...
... and they said my dad is next of kin and I'll need him to come sign..
We already did that, and it was an awful ordeal for him because his spine is fucked up and even opiods aren't helping.
She said have him sign it & just bring his drivers license when I come back.
So now I'm back, and this time instead of "it'll be 2-3 business days" it's "if you want to have a seat in the waiting room while I print them up"...
Well the records office is in a top secret location in the hospital. There are no signs on the ceilings for it, and nothing on the directory at the main entrance. You gotta axe someone.
It's hidden in the back of the immediate care department. So that's the waiting room I'm stuck in.
At least nobody is coughing.

in many cases, that is giving you rights to do as needed.
you may have to keep a copy with you, for proof.

I probably will at some point. Just not right now.
The pharmacy lets me pick up his
My sister is his oldest child, so she's "next of kin", and happens to have a PhD in nursing with specialties in cardiology and neurology, so that definitely lets me off the hook if there needs to be any important decisions to make in that arena.

There's a political rally on Monday I was going to go to, local protest against the Chinese communist party's lithium battery plant they want to build in town.
I decided to skip that & go to an old friend's funeral which is Monday.
Now I gotta skip that because my dad's gotta get another MRI because if he has horse's ass syndrome it'll need immediate surgery.
"Cauda Equina Syndrome" is suspected by my sister and 2 neurosurgeons she shared his MRI without contrast with. To diagnose or rule it out, they need an MRI WITH contrast.
Cauda Equina is Latin for horse's tail. Because the nerves in the spine resemble a horse tail where they spread out at the base of the spine.
My dad thought it meant "horse's ass" until I checked it with Google translate.

i didn't recall you saying your sister was older than you...but that does not mean the oldest has to have the POA over anyone, much less the parent(s)...it is something to be discussed so your dad is protected, from anyone as low as the utility companies, town council/manager/mayor's office, to bill collectors, and the list goes on.
everyone has thier own daily things to do, from jobs, to schooling, parenting, and as it is, many are pulled in all directions, so having the POA is one added stressful duty, but must be done......the last thing you'd want to happen is your dad losing the property, his bank accounts, etc.
good luck, it's something not thought of until it's too late.

You're talking about a regular POA.
I was talking about a medical POA.
Medical POA is not needed if you're the next of kin, and in this case it's the oldest offspring, my sister.
I should have a MPOA for my dad simply because although my sister is definitely the one who is more qualified to make his medical decisions, she's 900 miles away. Someone might need to sign something.
Are you kidding? She has two kids.
One would need a forklift just to carry the hard drives full of pictures she's got of her kids.
I actually have a higher IQ than she does.
At least I did 30 years ago when the school tested us.
The difference is I made the mistake of thinking big trucks were cool.
She got 4 years of nursing school and 4 years of cardiology and neurology paid for by John Q Tax Victim because her husband is in the Navy.
At least I'm pretty sure it was funded by the navy.

My sister was the dumb kid back then but she has a lot more real world smarts than I do.

I got bored, which got me to thinking, do solar panels which are are black and black adsorbs heat, add to global warming?
So I took some stuff down to the neighbors solar panels, and here are the numbers, the ambient temperature was 96 degrees the panels themselves were 147 degrees I then hung a baggie of water 12 inches above the panels and the water temp eventually got to 132 degrees, I put some shade above the water so the heat gain came directly from the panels.
So while it might drive some tree huggers and a lot of demonrats nuts, I
thinks this proves their green BS does indeed add to global warming and with all the solar fields we now have it adds a lot!!

I'd say they add no more atmospheric heat than any other dark object.
I'd say repeat the experiment using a black rubber floor mat or something, but I wouldn't ask anyone to do something I'm too lazy to do myself.
An empty Walmart parking lot would do the same thing. And think of how many bazillion miles of asphalt roads there are in the world. And asphalt roofs on big buildings, black shingles on houses, etc.
I was just reading something about heat from solar panels causing tornadoes. If that's true, empty asphalt parking lots would be the most dangerous place to be on a hot day.

A decarbonizer and going nuclear would be more sustainable than windmills and solar panels all over the place. Don't get me going on ev's let alone electric trucks. There's no chargers for drivers let alone parking. And how in the hell would one bring electric anything after a natural disaster? Don't get me going on these epa trucks same Damm thing after 500k on em there in the junk yards or being sold over seas. More polution. Along with all of the batteries and tires from ev's not to mention all of the emissions to build em
