    I just returned home from an errand . . . .

    and found a box containing a gas barbecue grill blocking my front door.
    It is a Christmas Gift for our daughter and son-in-law. The only problem is that it weighs 300 pounds.
    I can't possibly load into my F-150 it to them.

    I bet I have the only wife that does things like this.

    Can your wife load the truck for you?

    Do you have a friend with a dolly or hand truck?

    How close can you get your pick up truck to the porch?

    I bought a hand truck from a local store and moved it into the garage.
    I will get some help.

    One of my kids has one of those dinky Harbor Freight trailers, they work great for these kinds of things. Me & my BIL loaded up a 277# Xmas gift onto one I borrowed, no problem. If it is a problem, block the wheels and tilt the bed down...

    I will have two or three sons, grandsons, or friends come over and help me load it. It may cost me a soft drink or two.
