Welcome Wagon, aka, the traveling B/S Gang Go straight to LAST PAGE!
Hello hello, in terms of operating machinery, I don't have much experience, never needed it. But my current job is driving a stand up, reverse steer electric forklift for Sams Club. And I've driven our big scissor lift once but the controls were pretty screwy. Aside from that, I haven't driven much else. But I can still learn.
Rich, I haven't watched it but noticed you posted a video of the bronco, when I get time I'll have to take a gander. I'm planning some work on mine, maybe even am hour voyage to a WA chapter members shop to start the hydroboost project.

Cool! I'm sitting on the Gulf of Mexico right now!
A friend sent this, and I thought of this crowd (especially Mike!)
I found myself in a pub in Cork, Ireland.
A group of American tourists came in.
One of the Americans said, in a loud voice, "I hear you Irish think you are great drinkers!
I bet 5,000 Euros that no-one here can drink 30 pints of Guinness in 30 minutes."
The bar was silent, the American noticed one Irishman leaving, no-one took up the bet.
40 minutes later the Irishman who left returned and said "Hey Yank, is your wee bet still on?"
"Sure" said the American, "30 pints in 30 minutes for a bet of 5,000 Euros."
"Grand, " replied the Irishman, "So pour the pints and start the clock."
It was very close but the last drop was consumed with 2 seconds to spare.
"OK Yank, pay up." said the Irishman.
"I'm happy to pay, here's your money," said the American.
"But tell me, when I first offered the wager I saw you leave. Where did you go?"
The Irishman replied, "Well sir, 5,000 Euros is a lot of money to a man like me, so I went to the pub across the road to see if I could do it.

Hoaty, that's pretty good. I recently found out I've got a bit of Irish heritage so I've been getting into the spirit. Beer has been involved. I bought some Guinness draught the other day and when I grabbed one (canned) it felt like there was a ball inside. Like a spray can. After drinking I went to investigate and found a small plastic sphere. After a little research I found out its called a Widget and is supposed to help the head of the beer when poured into a glass. Being the classy redneck I am, I drank from the can instead. Easy come easy go.
Anyways point being, they had some interesting ideas over there.
