Sitting here relaxing on a beautiful Sat. 78F , clear ... Just enjoying the milder weather ...

Then I got a call from my friend to bring the FS down to his house to have the new coupler welded on ...

Hitched it up and took off down the off road course they call my street ... (figured that would be a test ) Got it out on the concrete and towed it up to 45mph ... No problems , no sway , towed pretty much like it wasn’t there... even stopping isn’t a problem ...
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/econ_goldtooth.gif)
Got the coupler welded on and the chains crossed style ... just cut a HF chain in half and welded on the clips KC so generously donated to the cause ...
![Thumbs Up :thumbsup:](./images/smilies/econ_thumbsup.gif)
Towed it back home ... parked it again and that’s that ... for now ... travelled ~ 5 miles , longest and fastest the FS has ever been ... looking good so far ...
BTW, I did check to see if the tires were rubbing on the floor , and No signs of that , so we do have enough clearance , even on my BAD road
![Frightened :frightened:](./images/smilies/frightened.gif)
... The trailer towed tightly , not any bouncing around ... No strange noises ... seems perfect for me ...
Now we have to go out and do some scale chipping and paint the welds , lest they immediately rust in this humid climate ...
