I'm not even thinking about driving my Z until the end of March.

Our flight home yesterday was delayed 3 times. Drove home from the airport in a blizzard. If you have a brass monkey. Bring it in tonight. Going to be close to zero here in the morning.

I work tomorrow and Wednesday. Wifey has eye surgery on Thursday. Have to take her back to the doctor on Friday.

Come home with a head cold. It started when I woke up yesterday morning, and it's just getting worse.

No fun. Be careful, the crud is going around. Norovirus, something or another.

I'm calling off today and going back to bed. Feel like crap. First time I've called off since i worked at the power plant in 2016.

Morning. Feel a little bit better. Going into work to inflect everyone there.

They work too hard and need some days off.

I've seen that GM truck commercial with the 3 trucks crabwalking at least 10 times a day. So, what is the actual benefit of crabwalking? I can't think of one at all!

Very useful with the right piece of equipment. At the power plant. We had a Cat Telelever forklift. It had 5ft tall tires, and boom that went up and down. Plus extend out 40ft. To get into tight places. You would crab walk it into place. You could steer each axle by it's self if you wanted to. If you wanted to be a bitch. After you got done using it. You never recentered the rear axle. So the next guy would jump in and take off going sideways.

LOL! Love it!

Ok, but why in a street vehicle?

I don't watch TV so I have no clue.
