Well the day has finally arrived that we get to send these
two 10 ft tall logging wheels home.
The driver showed up and do we're going to put this A frame
on to the bed of the trailer right here outside the shop.
And them I'm going to go across the street.
We've got a parking area right next to the city park here
that will give us some more room to navigate both sides of the trailer.
Today we've got two people running the cameras.
One is Micah, remember a local Baptist preacher
that had the tire fall on his toe?
He's going to run one camera and then Diane, my wife,
is going to the second camera.
Try to get the full picture of what it takes to load these wheels.
Well this forklift that I have won't pick the wheels up
tall enough to set them on to the trailer,
so I'm going to pick them up mid way,
but because these hubs are staggered spokes,
I can't get the forks to go clear through.
So these wheels are a little off balance when I just pick them up
by two spokes on one side.
But we'll tie them to the top of the mast
so it actually helps these wheels lean in the correct position
anyway when we want lay them down onto this framework.
Well on the journey home the driver was kind enough
to send pictures that these wheels were traveling well.
He did run into some snow in
central, northern Nevada,
but soon ran out into nice weather again,
so by the time they made it home everything was looking good.
I actually have a picture here showing these wheels being unloaded.
Perhaps in the future we'll get a picture when this is all assembled.
We'll se how that goes.
Anyway, I appreciate you following along with this whole process.
And the wheels are now home.
Thanks for watching.
