We're setting up for a 2-day sporting clays event at the local gun club. Ran my ATV over on the 5x7 trailer. Made a run into town with the same trailer and hauled out a used refrigerator for the clubhouse. Then I dragged out a Genie awd rough terrain scissor lift donated by the local Pro Rental. Heaviest pull that I've made in a while, 7 mile run with 5 miles of Interstate. The Max seemed happy to have some work to do.

LOL, I've been hauling water with the d-max lately. 15k of water, 2500lb trailer, and 8500lb truck. D-max hasn't complained yet!!
 
Well, we had fantastic weather and a great 2 days of shooting. I crawled the lift up 3/4 mile of dirt/rock trail on top of 70 feet of lava tube to set it up for our 5-stand competition on Saturday. I moved it over to add it to a true pair over a lava canyon for today's 100 targets. Drove it down, trailered it up, topped off it's fuel and it's sitting out front of my shop right now so I can run it back into town to the rental yard first thing in the morning. I got curious and looked up the weights - Genie 2668 RT, no outriggers, 6,737 lbs. (dry). The Towmaster T-10DD trailer, 2,600 lbs. So it looks like I'm pulling a good 10,000 lbs and it's been towing like a dream. The old horse really needed to stretch her legs, EGT has been running 1050 to 1100 degrees running 65 mph in tow/haul on flat road.

Actually did more working than shooting. Shot a pretty reasonable 82/100 on Saturday. Saturday was a one-day Pheasants Forever 100 bird fun shoot combined with the first half of the NSCA registered 200 bird 2-day. Sunday things were tightened-up quite a bit and I shot a 75/100. High score on Sunday was an 82, but my 157/200 was good for third in A class.
