Stop hurting yourself; we need you! :)
I didn’t even tell you about trying to hold the fire pit on the trailer with one hand & raise the tailgate with the other .... when the tailgate gets to a certain spot it sort of ‘snaps’ closed. The tailgate has garage door springs to help me raise & lower it. Anyway, it snapped shut & knocked me back. I think I hit the tail light on the way to the ground .... landed on the butt cheek with the knife stabbing pain. :-) I might have a new bruise or two, but otherwise, no harm seems to have been done. Stupid- should have tied the fire pit on so I could use 2 hands on the tailgate.
