Adam,
We had a big get together for the Northwest chapter of FTE Saturday and then headed up to the St. Helen's mud bog. We're still waiting on videos of Pro yanking the Blazer out of the tank trap (not before I told the driver he needed to pull his Calvin sticker first ) but it should be pretty damn cool. I was a lot drier than last time but the tank trap was even worse. Nobody made it through with the exception of a paddle wheeled sand rail. I'm all messed up on pain killers right now and having a hard time typing so instead of giving you all the details I'm just going to link you to the thread about the run. I'll post again tomorrow.

Thats S.O.P.
If I'm gonna be beating on my junk doing 1k+ worth of damage to it (actually, I could replace the broke stuff pretty cheap but since I'm gonna upgrade everything it will probably be closer to 2k when I'm done) whoever's riding shotgun gets hookup and cleanup duty. Its the cost of entertainment The funniest thing was when Ivan hopped out in the tanktrap to hook me up, sank deep into the mud and the gathered crowd let out a collection "Whoooaaaa!".
Good muddy fun

Damn straight. Especially seeing as how we watched another very capable truck get buried and Seth said "There's no way my truck is making it through." I chimed in with "Oh sure you can. I think if you go from the other side you'll blow right through it!" Famous last words. So seeing as how I talked him into it I figured I can wash it. Took me maybe an hour to knock the mud off. It's going to take him 6 to fix the damage. Good times!
I was hoping that blonde would fall and smack her head so I could go give her mouth to mouth but no such luck. Damn I love muddy wimmins!

Seeing as that he'd had other folks trying to pull him out who were unable (which is why finally he sent a runner to come ask me) he seemed pretty darned happy about removing the sticker. His excuse was "its only on there because it was on the truck when I bought it". 'Course, I would have looked kind of silly at that point if I hadn't been able to pull him out either but I've never failed to yank anybody out. That might change once Ivan gets the Captn' done and starts burying it though

Yeah there will always be someone bigger that you won't be able to pull out, but if you want to get into the physics of something like that . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ummmmmm maybe not, i might confuse some of you one here .
But you know your stuck when it takes to 300hp 4wd tractos to pull you out (ever see a double ply 8" wide tow rope stretch double its lenght then pull the tractor backwards?).
