Dragon Lady,

You had a dollie, too, eh? Those things came in damn handy when you had to get out to a plane parked a mile away and you had to haul that heavy tool box and the personnel van was elsewhere. We had to build our dollies ourself so I put the type of wheels on mine that you'd find on a little red wagon. It rolled a helluva lot easier than the small steel wheels most of the guys used. Were you allowed to have bicycles? We did...for a while, anyway. I found one in a dumpster and cleaned it up, patched the tires and painted it Air Force Blue. I even rigged up a telescoping extension so I could pull the tool box dollie behind it. That bike came in real handy for getting parts and tools from the "shed" in a hurry and I didn't want to wait for the van. Personally, I thought it made us more efficient and was great for morale. Unfortunately, the powers-that-be decided it made us too independent so they told us to get rid of them. Figures.
