Rdetwell, one good thing about newbies like me, it's pretty hard to make anyone else sound foolish! Right. Trailer Brake Controller. (Trailers have brakes?) I suppose that makes sense...
Rmcgrath... I once raced a county service truck up a windy two lane highway around 10 o'clock at night. I was in a Volvo Sedan, neck and neck with him, no snow tires, and it was snowing like crazy. I saw the "Road closed" signs in the back of his truck, and knew he was on his way to close the pass. That would have meant a 250 mile detour. As it was I was 100 miles from home and had to be at work at 6 a.m. I feel your pain!
