    I was yelling at my computer screen to put the come-a-long on the winch cable and pull it to the side of the trailer to change the pulling angle. Didn't you hear me? HAHAHA
    Nicely done. An amazing amount of hard work to get a rusty pile out of the woods. Why is doing this stuff so enjoyable? I know I love it, and my friends do, too.

    Oh wow, that camper-body is just falling in on itself near the bus there... XD
    What you needed to rescue this bus was a bulldozer with those long forks they use at the car-yards!
    Slide under the whole dang thing and deposit it on the trailer... That you got it anyway is mighty impressive!
