    Thats the nasty sob that tried to pancake me once. Hanging input shaft down. Tailshaft up. Did not hit the ground. Thankfully that's a aluminum case.

    Learned a good lesson. Never got any, but was shown this. It was like a industrial bean bag, pillow. You put on trans jack. It conforms to case. Toss a heavy strap over top and get after it. If I had to go back to doing it daily, I'd have one.

    Ft. Bridger, WY. NV permit didn't come through so no reason to go nowhere. Might cruise over to SLC tomorrow though.

    Was walking out the door going on a first date when her Dad hollered " Catch"
    He tossed me 12 Guage shell and said it'll be coming at you a heck of a lot faster after 10pm. Had her back home by 9:30

    Fished the Malheur River near Juntura, OR this morning, then rode a bit. Fishin wasn't good and it was 96* at 10:30 this mornin.

    Got back to the truck and headed over the mountains. Got some good drink and already caught a rainbow.

    Wanted to check out this old railroad tunnel, but they filled it in.

    Dug out the old battle axe tonight. Felt good to smash out a few cords for the first time in about a year.

    What's the consensus on that thread? I've pulled mine 3 times with one. Cursed it every time because I didn't want to make a adapter for it "since I'm only going to use it once". I just use a combination of 1/2" ratchet straps and a whole bowl full of cursing lol.

    Pretty much the only reason why I do anymore is to do a black water dump at the RV dump and throw trash in their dumpster — many moons ago, they had a decent burger at the grill— not so much nowadays— cook must have died or something

    Probably somewhere in the middle. Someone says it's terrible and dangerous and someone else says it's ok for once and a while.
