    Apparently it's 37F.

    The OM came back to life, and has gotten the bunk heater re-lit.

    Wait what about going down hill in a half filled tanker in the rain. Hitting the brakes and the tail fish tails back and forth. Its happened, even on level ground. But that was once. Down hill more than once.

    . Now your talking bottles which I consider the top shelf of tank world. I think C02 was the best and easiest except for the occasional steel mill.

    I drove an auto for a few weeks when my truck was down. Didn't have any issues managing the surge. Going forward. Backing up took a while to get it right. I'd be gassing on it trying to back and then the surge hit the other way and I'd have to hit the brakes hard. Didn't have any "creep" feature so I ended up just keeping one foot on the brake when backing.

    Met my now Wife in about 1970. She just gotten her DL I had none yet. She is 1-1/2 older than I. She drove a nice 62 Ford Falcon her older Brothers passed to her. She would drive us around until I got license, then I would drive us to school until we got out of high school. Two Sons, one 46 other 41, one home, several businesses later, we still plugging along together against all adversities. Married 50 years this year.
