    I like Tractor Supply. One down the street from me.

        Oh yeah!

        My plan for AquaMutt is for a heavy duty trailer hitch AND a roof rack. Plus a B6, for easy hauling pleasure!

                  Hauled my first load today. Figure I saved $15 in gas over taking the van. A 3% payback on the trailer cost the first load. Did 70-75 MPH with no issues at all. Pulled real nice. The dirt scoop weighs in at a little over 300 lbs. Wouldnt have fit in the hatch.

                      Another load today. Took all my old TVs and some old appliances to the land fill. Got hit with a $20 minimum for a single axle trailer. Had I been a resident of the city and brought my paid property tax receipt it would have been free. Got a smile from the girl at the scales, loaded trailer and car tipped the scale at 2640. Nice to clean out some old junk. 45 miles round trip. Phone pic below.

                              Made another load today. Little riskier, Sony 52inch with Samsung surround sound system and cabinet. Got it all for $200. Some of the P.O. neighbors were giving me the WTF stare ( I think they were all expecting to see TV on the pavement ) when I headed home but I made it home without a problem. Maintain the speed limit the whole way. P.O. was upgrading. After cleaning the projecter lenses, it gets a great picture.
