Depends on whether you ask me or my wife of whether I'm a kid or not but....
Friday, I buried my truck almost to the axles. I had 2 tons in the bed and tried to put it in a tight spot that was too wet. It didn't rain Saturday, so Sunday the ground was a little more presentable. My recovery was a classic though.

That oughta get me on the cover of safety today huh????
