Ed,
Love Jumping in on a old thread. Real Old.
Obviously you being in Houston, this guy to have had some Oil Field blood in him. I am sure! ;D
His rationale is it makes for a quick rig up and rig down. In the name of safety, he promised not to drive over 100 mph without straps being snug.
I would say the fenders he strapped them to will fail before the strap, but that is my $0.02 only. ;D
With October Oil Futures at $37 a barrel, and everybody not getting on planes until the Corona Puzzle is solved looks like the Patch, is Dead for the foreseeable future.
Makes for some good RV Prices at the pump though.
My Son lives down there in your area and "was" in the oil related field. I told him he needs to reinvent himself and change occupations.
You retired or doing alright with employment? Any Friends affected by National Layoffs?
Edited: I see Military Retired...Got it...
