Bob....you are going to have to accept what I said.
You have no earthly idea what my arrangements were and I am positive that
you cannot read my mind.
Stop telling me I 'am incorrect'.
I'm getting tired of hearing that from you.
If you don't have something good to say....don't say it.

You are incorrect regarding "No charge".  After they loaded the trailer, 
they took it down and weighed it all and you were charged for the total 
weight onboard, including the stuff in the belly pack.
