Hey Mike what kind of hoist do you have? I really need to invest in one, for some reason laying on the cement isn't as fun as it used to be

Re: The "New" Yelot........again......
Yes I am driving it to Florida, i.e. drive into the trailer and drive it out of the trailer, Not quite the same way you two do it but...............The car seems to have about 3 times the room. Little Angel says she feels lost in it But, I bet she can find Stuff to carry/fill it up....
My hoist is an Eagle 9000# short style.......I only had 12.5 feet to the roof. That may be the best 2 grand I have ever spent............My old butt and knees just don't like that stooping/laying down on the concrete any more....I even have a long handle magnet to pick up dropped bolts/wrenches..........I still have a creeper but I am saving it for the grand-kids, after I am gone they will have a new antique..........
See you soon......

I see you have the symmetric style is there any advantage having the asymmetric one?
they also make symmetric posts with asymmetric arms. boy this gets confusing
