Good Plan and I agree.
Stupidity needs to come with a cost associated with it.
A med bag is a requirement. Everybody should have one and at least the basic lifesaving skills.

I really like that last picture of the young man in the red shirt... Observing the lower 40.
Can't really claim that I have lived in the country. I have lived on the "edge of town" in years gone by. Presently in an old neighborhood before every house was stacked with no grass between the...

It is amazing how at 18, there is only one speed: Wide Open all the time! Then in the late 20's I think we start to observe a little more around us and some start having families - and we start thinking about that "little you" sitting there depending on you. Into the later 30's you have...

The Hog is an amazing piece of hardware!
We thank you for your service and the time you spent as a hog driver. :)

Like everybody else said - THANK GOODNESS nobody was hurt! And there is some good sheetmetal still there. I can't imagine what it felt like to see your truck rolling down that hill... Maybe tomorrow will be better and it can be recovered.

In order to have surge brakes - did you plan to move the tongue from the M101 to your M353? Something has to shove the body of the trailer forward to apply the brakes. It is possible I suppose but (without details) is the 353 heavier or lighter than the 101?
Don't think I am being a smart-a$#, but most dipsticks on GM vehicles actually say "check fluid level when hot". Idling in the driveway will warm it up enough and the fluid should feel warm to the touch.

3M for whatever reason seems to have managed to avoid stupidity in their product lines. Unrelated to building a habitat or sealing in windows - the pressure sensitive vinyl that 3M makes lasts twice as long as any other product on the market. AND their stuff is still great many years after...

Long ago, our painter used Vaseline to cover gauges on the inside of the trucks in the paintshop.
Much faster than trying to tape and then cut it neatly...

Our version was one less "P".
Just six and I think we figured any planning was going to be more proper than doing nothing.
:cool:
Thiose words were definitely shuffled around too.
