    Pitch is a viscoelastic polymer which can be natural or manufactured, derived from petroleum, coal tar, or plants. Various forms of pitch may also be called tar, bitumen, or asphalt. Pitch produced from plants is also known as resin.

    In Tennessee, in my younger years, farmers and poor people made pitch to fix leaky roofs.
    They mixed straw and coal tar to make the repair to the roofs.

    Talk about bringing back memories of the simple joy of knowing you got all of that pitch. The hip roll, the wrist break, the extension... All lining up to catch the sweet spot and the ball exploding off the bat far faster than expected for the little vibration you get when you get it just right.

    As LEVEL as was possible because of fuel equalizing, cause I NEVER drove any Tractor with 1 Fuel Tank beyond LOCAL and never Long Haul w/o 2 100-150 Gallon Tanks.
    Head Lower than Feet and the fuzzy, dizzying effects became worse (probably from forgotten hydration). They were bad enough standing upcenter or upleft or upright, depending upon unnatural gravity at Parked Up Spot, but ONLY when Long Haul.
    Seemed Local/Short Haul, problem of dizzying effects wernt as special.

    Live Long Time and....uh.....recalibrate the control unit....CHEERS!!
