..... ..reminds me of a wagon accident I had a few years ago. Hauling hay off the fields into the hay yard, three wagons in tow, I had pulled the hitch pin as I usually had done. Commencing to thoughtlessly (no substitutions please) unload the wagons from the wrong end. A wagon and a half on a slight grade, the first 5�X6� bail removed from the first front wagon, the weight of all the hay yet to be unloaded had shift their combined weights to the last wagon. The whole train started backing down the grade, each wagon jackknifing each its own way until their tires and tongues had locked, blocked and each stopped the other. The shop a couple miles away, the tongues and reach out�s were all bent. Was a spectacle towing them all at once down the road, the whole messed up mass taking all the road (both lanes) from one farm to the other. Spent rest of afternoon straightening a few pieces of iron and steel, luckily only having to replace one piece of tubing. While I was at the front of my parade, on coming traffic scrambled for available driveways for refuge, my passing them. I was hooted on for a month, that drive. (smiles).
