    Idjit didn't pay attention when he parked it more than likely. The waterline was probably flat. Those are totally flat when not in use. Very thin. Tons of cowboys get tossed the keys to a nice pickup and drive like they own the world out in the 'patch. No disrespect intended, just what I've seen firsthand. It has to do with the youth and the relative ease with which they get the job. Not much promotion in steps with a corresponding amount of accountability, just Boom ! Here's the keys and a credit card for fuel.
    No license upgrade required.
    I'm sure you get the picture.

    I was thinking that guy who came and picked up that Landstar trailer was coming back to your house in his pickup.

    Steam doesn't get near as much credit as it should. Nuclear ships and power plants ? The nuclear part is only as the method of heating the water to boil and create the steam. The steam does the actual Work. Vast amounts of torque are possible with steam. The diesel locomotives are hybrids. Electricity is the driving force on those. Been that way since they replaced the steam locomotives I believe.

    There’s a guy i work with who’s dad used to operate engine 4014. He said they once had it up to 110 mph. He was saying that there isn’t an oil used today that is heavy enough to power it.

    I tried to get it by hand, but the DA who changed it last went a bit hard on the wrench I reckon. Think I'll have to give that fella a good talkin' to.

    No he drove up on it like that, full of water. They've been pumping water to the location. He claimed someone ran him off the road.

    His odds are better if he cuts the fence in front of him and just gets the right rear over the hose rather than trying to back the other three wheels back over it.

    Oh. He's a different kind of idjit than what I thought.
    Ok. Maybe he Did get run off the road, but it doesn't really look like he took much evasive maneuvering from the pic.

    He will blame some trucker. That’s the normal Idjet response.
