I guess I'll add a story. I was on my doodlebug driving down the driveway and decided to get off it while it was still in gear! Needless to say I "got run over" by my doodlebug. Incredibly swollen foot, road rash on my calf from the tire chains, and not being able to walk for 2 weeks. VERY dumb mistake on my part.

Funny story time.
When I was running the hay farm a few years ago we had kids working for us of course. Some 4-H'ers and some other kids who wanted to work.
We had this one girl that worked for us and she was something.
Little lost and funny to have around, so we kept her around.
Something to look at I guess.
well, there wasn't to many level places around and reminded her to chalk the tire.
So she did and the other guy (who owned the farm) hadn't been paying that much attention and she pulled the pin.
That wagon rolled a LONG ways.
a really long ways.
Never fell over and didn't hit anything, but funny as hell.
She chocked it up side the hill. The log didn't do a damn thing.
Funniest thing I ever heard. i was out in the field bailing, so I didn't get to see it.
After that we made them use hay bails as well as had to teach them all how to do it correctly.
That was really funny.

Just imagine that conversation.
"my truck club buddies don't believe that my nurse is beautiful and likes guns and diesel trucks, could I get a picture of you to prove otherwise?"
