How assinine is it to want to mount a winch capable of recovering a stuck fullsize truck from a headache rack?

That even dumber than a bumper mounted jib crane

that's not nice. might try out a parts jockey gig at the local oriellys if they can have me on a set schedule. shyte pay, but it'll get me out of the house and it's something any slackjawed drunk car guy can handle. my parts guy mike that i always bs with when i go in there said they hired 2 guys last week and they both quit already. i'm on pretty good terms with everyone who works there and my old neighbor buddy is a store manager at one of their other locations. if they can guarantee a set schedule i'm down for it.

the wife would love for me to get out of the house. she knows and sees firsthand how crappy my attitude has gotten from being a mr. mom. i'm way too social a person to be cooped up all the time.

and it's more the kids than the wife tom. still can't really find a sitter and my mom is all tied up with taking care of the grandparents now.

I have noticed common sense is not nearly as common as it once was. I'm all for helping people, but lately my patience has been wearing thin. Old age I guess.

At what age can you begin blaming things on old age? Crown in Herculean quantities used to be the culprit but Id like to expand my bag of blame.

I'm not gonna rip my entire backrack/bed/part of the body of my truck trying to pull my buddys truck out of the mud right?
why not make a mount for the trailer to hook your winch into? thats what i did to all of my trailers and works perfectly.
