Wow Red! To say "that was close" would be a BIT of an understatement! A few days R&R is better than the alternative.

The hoist is toast, so is the transmission.....broken bell housing.......

I'm pissed off and wounded....I'll miss a few days of work over this I'm sure. Could have been worse I guess.

Hope the hand heals up quick
Bet your more pissed about the bell housing than anythig else
460 and a c-6 in a f-100 should be a hoss
Change the front coils over while you at it

She actually wanted horses too but grass,sky,and clouds was pushing my limited art skills!
