I love my truck. I never thought I would say that, but it's true. Dusty has become an old faithful companion that has already helped me numerous times since I purchased it back in August. My GMC Sierra 2500 is everything I need on a regular basis for hauling things in the bed and pulling my trailer whenever I need it.
There are few times when I find myself needing more than what Dusty has to offer, but this is one of those times. In order to move into our new place in Sonoma, I need to find a way to move the trailer of a deceased resident whose family can not be contacted. That trailer is one with a 5th wheel hitch. That's the kind that goes across the bed of the trailer, on top of the truck's axle, where the two humps are.
To rent one would cost us a couple hundred dollars and we don't want to add that in to our move-in costs, so we are exploring the power of social networks to try and find one to borrow for a couple of hours while I move the trailer in question. I am even willing to trade my faithful ol' Dusty during the time that I am using it. I joined a group on Facebook called "Hitch and Barter," and put in my request. We are asking everyone we know and I intend to go to my old school, face to face networking fraternity this week to see if anyone there can help me.
I have been saying for a long time that I think there will be a movement with social networking soon, which will get people to come together IRL (In Real Life) and create a stronger global community than we have ever known. I'm always pushing to see if that time is coming. It's kind of like an experiment. Here goes. Can anyone help a brotha out?!
