    Right where I want to be.
    Nope, I had no idea, and thought maybe you were messin' with me.
    I've driven the BIG tractors (never for a living, to be clear)......tractor trailer types, but the ones I drove didn't have 2 brake pedals.
    That would be too confuzzling.:rofl: :lol:

    It was at home.:whistle: I have about 7 ft to get a 5ft tractor through and needless to say it was all icy and I was to hardheaded to move my truck. MasterMech tractor held up just fine:p. If I had put a flat bed on it like I want to do you'd have never known.

    Yup like yooperdave said one to control each side and a bar to lock them both together.

    I don't even really let stuff like it bother me. Don't get me wrong I take pride in my stuff and try to keep it nice, but in the scope of things it's piddly chit.


    I ran equipment for 8 years and seen guys tear up a lot of stuff. Also I should have known better than to back down between the wall and truck. I think if I would have turned around it wouldn't have slid like it did.

    I call it gold star vs brown star. Same effect though. 5 to 1 ratio. 5 golds wipe out one brown star. Oh, that sounds even worse written out.:faint:

    Was really nice out so I split a bunch. My neighbor pokes his head around the corner and we are shooting the breeze. About mid sentence I notice someone has helped themselves to part of my pile. Not much, but enough for me to go hmmmmm This ever happen to anyone else?

    Funny you say that. I have a bottle for him in my garage so his wife doesn't know. He's close to 85 and still sneaks a toot:)

    Put up some trim around the baseboard heaters after work. Nothing in this house is square. ..which makes trim work all the more fun.

    My well pump was switching on too much the last 2 days. Went downstairs, drained the expansion tank, and adjusted the pressure switch to get me about 65 psi, up from the 50 it was at, and it all works good again. I thought I'd be having to size and buy a new bladder style pressure tank, and maybe a new switch. Not so. :dex::thumbs:
