O-o-o-r-r-r-r-r....maybe we're all not slipping quite so badly? :lol: I think it has more to do with the fact that as we get older, we get lazier, and take risky shortcuts at times, or just get in too big a hurry. Glad all ended well, coulda been bad.

Unless it's setting a line above you and then hustling to the ground to help the ground personnel pull it over....

I suppose someone good at fabbing stuff might be able to engineer something like that, Burnham, but since I learned how to deal with it, it's not that bad. What's amazing is that they only rate these big rascals at 2 tons, yet they build them much beefier, and put bigger cable on them than the...
