What kind of engineering?

As you know I had to take my freezer to my parents house because of the hurricane taking out power for a week in Baker. Sunday I got my freezer back. My dad and I lifted it into the back of my truck. No problem with two BUFF men handling it. But, getting it out of the truck once I got home, different question.

I am trying to figure out what kind of engineering this is. I know that I have a back ground in structural engineering, but I also have a back ground of growing up in south Louisiana.

Is this the engineering of a southern boy or the engineering of an LSU engineering student?

I personally think that its a little bit of both. The first thing I had to ask myself is what is the easiest way to get the freezer out of my truck so I could go run errands - roll off onto an even surface. Second question where - garage counter top, nope...umm...down a large piece of plywood. So I put the ply wood on my truck and noticed a little too much deflection when I stood on it, needs a middle brace. ICE CHEST! Perfect height. Doesn't that seem like its a little of both?
