    Not sure what your post is about? If I see someone in real trouble and I can help, I help, my band plays in the old folks home for free once and a while? And if a neighbor needs my tractor or any tool I lend them or go give a hand? Why wouldn't you?
     
    DSK333 Thanks this.

    What makes you think I don't do the same?

    My post is expanding on the ground rules of what it means to be a man on TTR, as posted.

    There is only so many fireman. There is only a limited amount of good sams.

    If you count yourself as lucky that you can run towards a fire, accident or problem then the doing the right thing has nothing to do with anything, but being on the side of doing what is right. I'm not sure how I'd feel knowing I could help, but didn't.

    I for one enjoying being able to help, and I think that makes me lucky.

    Anyway...never a better feeling than asking if I can help and they already have it covered. I like doing good without having to do anything... LOL

    If i see some one in real trouble i usually get out and help to, however if i'm in a large vehicle i need to be able to do so in a safe manner that will not cause a bigger problem than the one that's already there. If one sees someone on the highway by the time they think oh should i stop and help their almost 1/2 a mile down the road so they probably think no point in stopping now. Unless i know all the facts i'm not going to start harshly judging what other drivers should and shouldn't do to lend a helping hand.

    I don't think that will happen, the Eaton Facility complex is been rusting and rotting these last 15 years or so here in Searcy. Trees are coming up enough to start breaking up the concrete and block work around the buildings and so on as it returns to nature over the next 30 years.

    When I first came into Arkansas I found Searcy to be full of trucking of all kinds and industries all over. However NAFTA was just getting started and some of the area factories simply closed up.

    There are a couple that has been brought back to life however things have changed in that town.

    I'm new to this game but traveling Michigans trails and many Indiana , Illlinois roads I see as many broken down cars as I do dead deer alongside the road.

    Being Mechanical , my little voice says , soo you decided not to have that little noise that your car started making last week checked out.
