Dead on Mexico.
Fun side.. I mentioned changing tires on that F-350... It was kind of fun looking at the Tire Guy's expession when he ask what I used to put it on and I answered him... (His poor impact wrench took rather a long time to loosen that nut, Thought I was going to have to get the Ford supplied toy lug wrench out again.)
In a later story I had some Troopers who could not get the lugs (rusted) loose on the flat on the patrol car.. i put them on Dispatch and borrowed their 4-way.. I Got the lugs loose.. Torqued the 4-way but I got the lugs loose. (Yes I twisted one of the arms).
You know.. When I did things like that they gave me serious respect for some reason.. (I'm not violent by nature but can you imagine what that kind of thing could do if I were?)
