Don the older you get the longer it takes to heal. Please be careful. The rest of us would run out of threads to DOT if you stopped being able to build cool stuff Raising boys into RealMen!!

Well, I tried to get in a PLF
Were you on the same side of Big Red as when you cracked the concrete next to Square D? If so, you might want to consider picking up an old mattress to use as a crash mat when working off terra firma - kinda like fender covers for the ground!It IS probably Duane's fault though, as I'm certain he wasn't wearing the appropriate yellow safety belt while standing post as Safety Officer....... ;D
Don, don't feel bad. We all fall off our equipment time to time. It's for this reason I try to always park in soft places LoL
Hey!!^^^^don't you have a ram to put together? you aint got time for intranet follies! :)
comin from the guy with his own shop that he should be tending to instead of surfin the interweb.....................
Yeah, we definitely need Duanes version. Probably no chance he got pics?

Well, I'm a sensitive guy and my feelings were hurt...I needed some space to express how it felt and to "let it all out" But now with the love and help from all of you, I feel I can put this in the past...Boo-Hoo 1.) It was more of a long, step-off-of-the-track-backwards-and-roll-onto-your-back kind of fall.I think Duane adequately described the PLF I refered to, although Bobby or HC might critique the fact that I didn't roll on my side, but flopped on my back (Again)2.) I wasn't really close enough to do anything when it occurred.Odd, he never seems to be very close when work is occurring...hmmm, probably just a coincidence...3.) If I had been close enough and managed to reach out, my effort probably would have only spun him sideways, resulting in a more awkward fall and an injury greater than damaged pride.He should have dived on the ground below me to cushion my fall...Nuff said, the black hawk pilot did nothing...typical for the breed, really!4.) Like I said at the time, he landed about as good as he could have. Well, yea, probably right
well at least its not another candy bar fire.................
gotta love old hydraulics. The upside.... rarely do old machines require fluid changes....they self change at a alarming rate.
ranger almost looks like he is a pure bred black shepherd
Ha....Shepherds have to be herding something. Ours keeps herding me when I am mowing the lawn...actually any time I am doing something outside. I am sure Ranger loves running herd on Sarge! ;DDon ours was the opposite- sire had the sable and dam was all black. Nica's lines are East German and Czech. Ranger seems to have some of that (flatter/more level back, less muscular chest than the typical "American Shepherds")...I wonder if they share some blood lines/background?
You need to add a couple of the pics with others having fun!!
