TRN, most of the boats I have been on have quiet bars and other places to get away from the crowds. Room service and the room balcony work too. Get on shore and find your own things to see and do. Don't have touch the bags or move from room to room. Each to their own but I like it.

I always tug test before raising the landing gear but I was on snow and the wheels just spun. So I raised them up and pulled ahead on dry ground. Better to drop it in the yard than on the road. I even visually inspected the jaws to see if they were closed on the king pin. This truck sat out in the last snow storm turn out there was ice in the 5th wheel preventing it form locking all the way. 20 years with a CDL and never dropped a trailer. First time for everything.Any damage?All it did was pull the wires out of the pig tail plug. Im really impressed with them plastic fenders. We were told you could drop a trailer on them in the middle of winter and they wouldn't break. They were right.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat's impressive and good news. Plastics have come a long way from back in the day. Not sure what I'm into/done with the cruise, not sure about trapped on a boat...I have no issues with boat, just the trapped bit. We've always talked about doing one to see. I did get the drink and I think food upgrades au gratis. Don, that's funny your luck and blessing. My problem with cruises is that I hate people. I hate crowds actually. Because inevitably there are a handful of people who believe they are better, superior, more entitled than every other human in the crowd. On a tightly packed boat with hoards of human rejects, there is an exponentially high likelihood that I would eject a few from the balcony of the boat.

We should do a real man cruise...lol @ the concept....
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Last night after work, I replaced the remaining spark plugs, installed all new wires, distributor cap and rotor on XJ. My scanguage wouldn't clear the code, so I had to run to NAPA to get it cleared. And now today I'm getting ready for this winter storm to dump 12"+ of snow on me; supposedly. Oh well.

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Well, I acquired a nine week old akc registered female golden retriever. A local couple purchased her two weeks ago & it just wasn't working out they said. Not sure why as they have her mostly potty trained already & she seems calm enough for a pup. Our other golden is 9 years young & we figured some company might keep her that way a bit longer. So my girls received an early Christmas present.
Congrats on the new family member. Two weeks ago my wife rescued a 6year old Schnauzer from DesMoines. He is an amazing mutt and loves to help me drywall. He also has a thing for riding around in Patch...so he's become quite the valued companion already. Hoping your new addition brings you all similar enjoyment.

Likes swimmin' in ponds then jumpin' up on you afterward to share the pond scum? Likes sneakin' away with just one of your favorite wool socks? likes mud? likes truck upholstery (The taste)? One of those?
