Howdy therooster2001,Well, did something a little stupid. Walked the truck, and then used shop air to air up the tanks. My spoiled 925a2 lives its retirement in a garage, so starting it indoors is like instant asphyxiation. So I checked oil and coolant, then closed up the hood and hopped in. Stated it up, then pulled out only 25 or so feet. Got flagged down, then looked back and my air compressor was being dragged out by the hose attached to the emergency hook up in the back. This is the second time I've done this, but this time it brushed up against a utility trailer which swung over, and cracked a spare m939 front window. Totally bummed. Could have been worse, but feel like a tool nonetheless. Don't do that....
Believe it or not cloths pins are your friend (and they are cheap)!
Because I have a serious case of CRS (Can't Remember s$%t) I have developed a bullet proof system that may help you from repeating your CRS moment...
1 - I take wood clothes pins and label them for the related item (e.g., rinse hose, trailer power cord, battery charger etc.).
2 - I leave the related clothes pin clipped to the id'd object.
3 - When I open/connect/use the item I take the clothes pin off the item and attach it to the flipped down visor of my F350 or the door handle of the 923 (easier).
I haven't destroyed anything since I implemented this system.
Hopefully this little monitor will help save someone else from a CRS moment...
YMMV!
