Cincinnati Area Thread (Tri-State, Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana)

I killed one that my neighbor had caught in a snare Tuesday morning. He was all tangled up and chewing his leg off. Literally just opened the glove box and rolled down the window. S&W 5906 9mm FTMFW!!

 

I did disassemble the gearbox and replaced the chinese grease.

 

Uncle Sam trained and equipped me with a Colt model 1911 .45, and that's been my noisemaker of choice every since. I always thought it was nice of Ol' Uncle to do that for me....Went in to be a combat engineer..... I was trained to be a speed bump in front of an entire division of Soviet armor.....with a side arm and a radio. Never listen to Army recruiters.

 

Grew up on a farm before tractor cabs were the norm.
Spent most of my misguided youth listening to Zeppelin at max volume
Hung out 4 years with an artillery unit.
Spent 17 years racing 2-stroke dirt bikes.

Now the wife is constantly "requesting" I get a hearing aid.

"Huh"?????

Lack of hearing will add YEARS to a marriage from my perspective.

 

There's more to it than meets the eye!

 

I've read about this same event before. All positive, and like you said more to it than you think.
In '08 I took the state motorcycle training class after riding alost a year and still learned a lot lol

 

There is a LOT of info out there. The more technical deals with surface area and the varied mud sand etc. coefficients of friction and suction values. I'm probably gonna wing it
Been watching a bunch of recovery vids on youtube...

 

I think that's the one I was thinking of. Good read, very detailed. Thanks for the links, I should probably re-read before I go winging it lol

 

Yeah, phone battery is dead (only link to TW) and the wifey is trying to get me off the couch. Might go winch up a tree like those Jeepin' idiots.

 

I'm at work.....So.....Either TW or do something productive.....And with that, I'm still here....

 

Years ago, my best friend worked for a wrecker company doing semi truck towing and wreck recovery. I'd ride along a couple nights a week. They had an engineer who'd show up at all the roll overs and such, to lay out a plan before the winch cables were ever unwound. I learned a TON from watching them.

 

FNG checking in.

 

Richmond huh. Not too far away....

 

Still over here in the land of bowties and blue ovals....For the longest, I was the only local (within 30 miles-ish) TW member....

Just waiting for something interesting to happen.

 

win this!

Those are like, 3-4 hours away! Is there really nothing closer? I live in the wrong region....lol

 

hahaha. its like 3 hrs from me.

I live in the land of corn fields and diesel.

 

Time to sell the truck I suppose.

 

hahahahaha. best idea I have heard lately.

 

HAHAHA. That's the exact video I thought of when I was reading your reply.

I'm afraid it wouldn't make that much money....as it has already been done.
