    I don’t even want to call it gravel. It’s rocks. Mean, angry hurtful rocks.

    No way in hell I'm taking my #### through that!

    (Besides the fact that it will probably never make it). LOL

    He has lots of fun stories about figuring out how to get into places that are miles from any paved roads and where some of the routes in have weight restrictions 20 tons or more below his loaded weight. Just the other day he was reminiscing about one road where one or the other of the ranches on it would cut a single lane path for a couple miles when it snows heavy and the instructions are to follow the path even if it goes off the road through a field because that's the only route they could clear. And when he gets there to unload, a lot of times it's just him and 20,000 head of cattle. And no, he has never chained.

    I mean, honestly I understand the appeal of his job (we are brothers after all) but I'm too #### old to be doing stuff like that any more. And he's older than me. But he has always shaved his face, so I know there's something a little off about him.

    Been helping out my sister in law. She had some pretty serious health issues for most of this year, including an almost 5 month hospital stay, with quite a bit of time in ICU. Add in being busier then I normally am this time of year, an there ya go. ;)

    Things are settling down now, so I'll be around to harass all yall for the holidays.

    Not banned, and I'm alive an kicking. :)

    Thank you all who expressed your good wishes.

    Missus Skillet was already asleep when I got home from work tonight, so I took a soak in the tub. Felt good.

    Been taining off and on all night, with wind and falling temperatures.

    I think that's what the arrows pointed towards OH-HI-OH were about, @Dave_in_AZ

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I've never worked on a Crown. Or a Clark.

    I DO understand "component inaccessibility", though. Both Hyster/Yale forklifts and transit buses have it in SPADES!
