So true. I've seen some young guys (greenhorns) get into an LR for their first trip offroad and think they are Arnie Swartzennegger just to find out that it's Peter Pan the should have emulated instead.

How many pints did you suck down before the fence jumped in your way.

Well I had two options. Get out and move fence to continue on my journey. Or run it over. I chose the ladder.

I have no regrets.

Yes, indeed, or something like that. On local news here the other day, they showed a clip of a guy saying that the police just had told him that there was a car on his house roof, so he looked up, and sure enough, there was a car on his roof. Some damn fool had "driven" his car, crashed, and it flew onto the guys roof, though the cops had no idea how it was done, and the guy frightened, ran away---he left drugs in car, and had been under the influence of drugs when he was arrested at his home, since that is where he ran to. He really must have been under the influence, and/or dumb as a fence post---his car, with his license plates on it, crashed, landed on house roof, drugs left in car, ran trying to escape the consequences, to his house. Hello, any ding bat would know the cops would be waiting for him!

Early,
if you click on the quote button at the bottom of the post, that you wish to quote, it will make things easier. it will put the statement inside like [quote] subject text [quote]

just a suggestion. I sometimes get confused when I read your posts.
cheers
