    When I first started driving, an easy going fellow that had been at it since Moby Dick was a minnow told me a few things that have helped me drive safe since. 1) "There ain't no load so hot that it won't cool off in the ditch." You can get anywhere you want quickly without speeding by simply keeping the left door shut! 2)"I keep my pajamas and my tire chains in the same box, and when the time comes... I just put on whatever"s easier." Have fun and be careful...OST

    Is that 'cause you roll 'em regularly, so you can clean both the top and bottom?? ;)

    Well,.......... I gotta admit, that's one way to do it. But gettin' 'em back on all ten wheels can be a challenge.

    Instead, I roll over on MY back, and slide under there --- and I bring several old rags with me.
    At the home-20, I use a creeper.
    That doesn't get the driveway as clean as my shirt though. :biggrin_25523:

    When decending a steep mountian grade and there is a choice between fast and slow,always choose slow. You can go down too slow as often as you wish, you only go down too fast once!!!:MEGA1:
