    Know a framer that fell off a roof and broke both arms. Without going into the gory details, wife had to help him in the bathroom. It can always be worse.

    Had ACL reconstruction 14 months ago at age 49. Back playing hockey 8 months later. You'll be fine.

    Were you able to keep your eye balls from bouncing when you tracked it? I never knew that was a skill you could lose until I played with the kids. I was thinking what the heck is going on here LOL.

    I firmly believe that playing with kids should be left to the kids! We will be safer, and they will be happier! Particularly if we are busy taking pictures of them, or shooting video.:)
    HEY GRANDPA, LOOK AT ME! :D

    Yeah, I've heard...but I'm stuck again...more on that in a bit.

    I was, and I believe I'd have got the ball if I hadn't stepped into a small depression and got all tangle footed.


    Ok, so I stopped in Idaho for fuel and they had TV monitors at the pump. Caught about 7 seconds of the forecast for the PNW. Called a friend from the area on a full blown panic to get the scoop. Things didn't sound to bad but I stopped in a little mom and pop truck stop to get a better grip on the situation. Was reading conflicting reports of how much snow to expect. Well, I was parked and hungry so I decided to go in an have a bite to eat. Came out 30 minutes later to see this... 20170304_163159.jpg

    Yep...leaking air again. There's a shop close and they're sending a guy out this morning to look it over. Until then I'm parked.

    Oh yeah, and from West Virginia to Idaho the only state that hasn't had wind knocking me all over the road has been Wyoming...go figure.

    More later.

    Interesting that you have four air gauges. What truck is that?
