winter is coming

Here in the Netherlands if a trailer with load exceeds 750 kg. (1.653,47 lbs.) it needs to have breaks and must be inspected by rules of the government and then al lots of demands will show up. So I bought an American trailer just for winter storage usage and hope that the police in this area isn’t a good estimator. On the last weekend of the season I took the Garfield to a local trailer ramp en pulled her out. The trailer, originally for a speed boat, can actually carry twice the load of a Matilda and even if it didn’t fit exactly (some adjustments have to be made) it was very stable. The ride home is just a mile and now it is parked on the driveway. I still have to do some work and after that I will park it in some barn, somewhere in the area. Pictures (here and here) are taken with a cellular phone.
