crash down in the middle of the night!

[mbulriss]

Mike,

That story about the prior owner of your coach makes me cringe every
time you mention it! It also justifies my wooden ramps, wheel chocks,
two extra 20 ton hydraulic jacks and two 20 ton jack stands. I've had
friends ask me why I carry all that 'crap' and it takes me a while to
position everything before I crawl under there, but I don't care, I'm
coming back out on my own!

to go on workin' under the bus. His body was the wheel chock he
shoulda used, rear dual got him as it rolled forward. Guess he
figured the front brakes locked when the parking brake set.
