FASTEST WAY TO UNLOAD LUMBER

- CARL ERICKSON

I was at the home center buying yet another load of materials to finish my basement. I strapped the lumber and copper pipe to my truck rack, then hit the highway. All was well and good until I was almost home and a small dog darted into the street right in front of me, forcing me to slam on my brakes. My truck stopped, but my load didn’t. The lumber and piping went flying off the rack, landing in the street. Luckily, there wasn’t a car in front of me, or it would have had an unexpected delivery straight through its back window. The dog ran off unscathed, but I swear he was laughing at me.
