At all of 5'4" I'd have to get on a stepladder to look him in the eye!

My baby boy and his aunt

If he is your baby boy, I sure would hate to face the full grown one.

Michelle, i worked as a bouncer part-time in my younger years and one night i was working the door when all i heard was motorcycles-Harleys- well at this cut your way in-shoot your way bar, the new owners- a captain of the state police decided he wanted a dress code-No Leathers, well the first guy through the door stood 7 feet 5 inches tall and weighed in at 580 pounds- name on his leather jacket was Door Buster. I realized at this time in my young life that it was naught a good idea too run my mouth, and when he asked how cold the beer was- i told him as cold as the north pole. 45 bikers came through the door wearing leathers and colors and i let them in. My partner was hollering they cannot come in, i told him you stop them i know when too keep my mouth shut and that night was not the night too go too intensive care. The Transcraft trailer has had new crossmembers, fifthwheel plate and pin put in last november, it does need sandblasting and painting which it will get. I am trying too find a 28 or 32 foot dry box trailer or refer trailer for my freightliner, the flatbed will be used for loads of hay for our horses and cows.

Don't want to through water on your fire but we insurance guys got notice about 2 months ago of a major problem with Transcraft trailers built from 1995 to 2002. Transcraft used a primerless paint and just now they are finding major rust problems up and around the 5th. wheel plate. Check it out before you start using it. I don't know if Transcraft is making good on the problem.

Your 6' 9"? No, I refuse to ask if you play basket ball. My brother in law is 6' 6" and I thought he was tall. He and I were in Home Depot one day and a lady was bent over writing a check and when she stood up he and her were looking eye ball to eye ball. At about the same time they said to each other how tall or you. I looked at their feet and she was wearing a pair of flat souled flip flops and he was wearing a pair of cowboy boots. I told him as we were leaving that if both had been bare footed she would have been taller then him. Also had a first cousin that was married to a guy that was 6' 11". Now that dude was tall.

We have been friends since 2nd grade, had our ups and downs over the years, but always had each others back no matter what. I could tell a whole truck load of stories about use, but i do not want too give you any bad ideas on some of the practical jokes we pulled, like 45 pounds of frozen squid in the heating ducts of our junior high school. Once a month we get together with our family,s and spend time together, i consider him my brother but shorter, i stand 6 foot 9 inches, he,s 5 foot 8 inches. I cannot thank him enough for what he did, but that is the type of person he is, give you the shirt of his back and the last dollar he has too make sure you had a good meal.

Congratulations, you have a true friend, of course I am sure that you have been a true friend too over the years or the out come would have been different. I should be getting my trailer come Monday. I will post pictures when it arrives.
