Trusses arrive

 Next the trusses were delivered.  Indy let me know we had a visitor and I walked out to greet him.  It was just the one delivery person and 20-some pre-built trusses for the new garage roof.  "Where do you want them?"  he asked.  I figured right next to the building site might not be a good idea.  I told him to put them in a feral spot just on the other side of the driveway.  "How are you going to unload them?" I asked.  He looks at me seriously - straight in the eyes.  "I was told there would be a strong able-bodied person here to help." he replies.  Must be a standard joke w/ him and he found a gullible dupe in me.  Silence.  Then he laughed.  "They just roll off the truck.  I'll be done in a second."  It was marvelously efficient.  Untie the load.  Loosen the rollers on the trailer bed. Raise the front end and let gravity do the rest.  He's done this before - they landed  precisely where they should go.
