   That's what always happens. You think if you can just knock this out, you can get on to something else on the never shrinking list in front of you, and you might not be as far behind. I do it, I don't think I can help it. We just can't get it hrough our heads that we will never live long enough to get caught up, especially if we keep doing what we're doing.

	"Familiarity breeds contempt" as the old saying goes. It is easy to get careless around equipment. There but for the grace of God go I!!

	Sorry to hear of your neighbor. A friend died using a piece of re-bar to line up the lift pin holes on some equipment and with him leaning over the re-bar while reaching to bump the lift it dropped ever so slightly, but enough to jack the re-bar up into the side of his head. I was an AFOSH( Air Force Occupational Safety Hazard) facility inspector for a couple years and realized back then that simple situations do create big safety issues. Be safe everyone.

	It is amazing how some people never learn. I was talking to an idiot at work about witnessing some other idiots driving tractors holding onto their small children on their laps. He stated he always did, once even being thrown from the tractor(grabbed onto some bailing string tied to the fender to keep from being run over by the bushhog until his dad got the tractor stopped). Still didn't think that it was that dangerous and he lets family ride on his tractors. I had to walk away from him.
