very close call

I was driving this Grove 15 ton crane on tuesday, was going about 35-40 when it started drifting to the right, whether the steering seized up or what, I don't know, all I know is that I was unable to turn the steering wheel, I stomped on the brake, but don't remember stomping on the clutch. As the crane started tilting the door flew open and all I could think of was to hang on to the steering wheel and stay in the cab. There is a seatbelt, but I was not wearing it. I could very easily have fallen out of the cab and been crushed. It is only by the grace of the LORD that I am still here with only a minor scrapes and bruises. So, guys...be careful and WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!!!!! !

Winching upright.

This is where I was.

I was driving a tractor up the road on Friday and 1 car passed me and had plenty of time and room, but a second car was passing the passer as the1st car ewas at my side. This was a 2 lane road and we were 2 cars and a tractor wide. PLus there was an on-coming car that had to slam on the brakes to avoid a head-on with the second moron. All I could do was winch in anticipation of a big crash that thankfully didn't happen.

I should also mention that I was over to the right only enough to let the 1st car pass safely because at that point in the road the shoulder was asphalt as well. If it's gravel, I don't want anything to do with it.
