    A large group of engineers were standing around discussing what type of engineer could have designed the human body. The structural engineer makes his case, then the mechanical engineer and so on. Finally after all the engineering disciplines have made their argument, the civil engineer who has been very quiet, loudly proclaims that the human body was designed by one from his own ranks. All the other engineers howl with laughter and ask how he came to such an absurd conclusion. The civil engineer than states, "who else but a civil engineer would put a waste water drain in the middle of a recreation area?"

    By the time I figured out the Superbowl was on was when I figured out we don't get it.
    I thought it started later and we only get FOX if the wind blows right.

    TUBI was streaming it so I logged in about 2 min before half.

    Watched the halftime show and several minutes of the 3rd quarter, before I fell asleep.

    I had it on in the background. All I really noticed was that the halftime show was not good.

    You missed the opportunity to spend 4 hours watching TV. Other than that, no..

    Having my gear on the bed bars works good. When I'm done I run through the car wash and everything is spic and span before putting it back in the bed.

    My son wasn't to thrilled I took the gear down and the winch off.

    @Thatbassguy did you get your MT64'S preassembled?

    Wondering how difficult it will be to raise them up a notch.
    I'm guessing they'll have to come back out......

    Yes. I'm really glad the height seems to be what I wanted. I really don't want to mess with them again anytime soon.

    I had it set how I wanted, leaving 1/2" rake.
    The shackle flip brought the back up 1/2" leaving me with 1" factory rake.

    I'm ok with it until I toss the winch on, then I'm more like 1.5" rake.

    Either need to bring the front up a scoche or add more weight to the back.

    But ya. I'd rather not have to pull them back out.

    Lots of options to add more weight like a nice new steel bumper!
