That said, I would GUESS it was 45-50 pounds when I caught it and somewhere close to 800 pounds by the time I got it packed back to the garage. I have nothing clever to put here.

I know the feeling I got a 37lb the other day ¾ mile back felt like a 100 coming out

Seems like the biggest ones are always the ones farthest from the truck. When us older people say, "Enjoy them while they're young." We are talking about our hips and knees, not our kids.

That old truck deserves a winter off and has earned it's keep around here. I have nothing clever to put here.
