Big move



Click on photo to see it full size

In the last 24 hours, the low was -5 and the high 10. A few sunny breaks in morning and late afternoon with showers mid day. 10 km on EB, almost went out on Aspen but decided road too wet. Photos are of a piece of power equipment being moved in South Carolina, locals said it weighted 900 ton. The rear trailer bogie was being repaired but I counted 18 axles on front bogie for at least 108 tires on it. There was 3 tractors pulling and two pushing.
