Tiedown "winch" device

Helen, thanks for the tip. I think I found the right term for those
tiedowns: "ratchet".

That's one type.

I just bought tiedowns for other purposes at Home Depot. I would recommend that
you AVOID the "Workforce" brand. In fact, this is one time you might want to buy
only from an aviation supplier (or perhaps a motorcycle dealer) -- there's a lot
of trash out there.

and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.
