    I couldn't imagine having to load and chain down a 627 Cat buggy with 8 tie down points. I'd be dead.

    I've heard a lot about how uncomfortable high humidity can be. never been any place like that. a friend once told me that in Jamaica if you opened a pack of smokes and left them out for 10 minutes you couldn't light another one after that lol

    Here in Cabo Frio, the humid wind from the sea is such that if I don't hang my laundry out in the sun it may take 2 days for them to dry... :angry2: and when I come back from the street my body is all sticky, even though I don't perspire much.... :biggrin_2552: My little bag of salt... it gets humid inside the pantry...

    Sigh, the idjuts out there. Below is a thread of some fellow looking for work (fired from Swift for speeding). He went down a hill and didnt maintain prudent speed. IE he hit 80 mph and wants a new job in a truck that wont monitor how fast htis leadfoot drives. I mean seriously people. It isnt that hard to snub the brakes occaisionally to keep the speed in check.

    Hello, I have a question.
