And here we go again…

I always check to see if reverse is working before I get the Jeep into a situation where only reverse will do. Until the time I don’t. And that’s when…


…with an evil chuckle and a twist of his mustache, Murphy strikes.

Got the Jeep stuck good in a sort of impromptu hedge. Called a neighbor for a tow, and by the time he saw the text and replied I had it pulled about a tenth of the necessary distance with a come-along and a combination of a chain, cable and tow strap. I’d have had it straightened out in another hour and a half or so.

You shouldn't ask these questions of a paranoid recluse, you know.

    At least you were prepared, necessity is the mother of invention.

    Since you have neighbours with horses, I wonder if you have ever considered a switch to equine powered transportation. It’s like a big dog with badly trimmed toenails.

    I’m impressed you managed to get stuck somewhere that you could use a come along to get yourself out. I didn’t think there is much out there you could attach to.

    Hey Joel, good on you for being able to resolve a problem that a majority would have a melt down over.

    One question, have you ever had a talk with the guys who did the original repair job about what’s going on? Maybe they would have some insight on a possible fix.

    Macgyver meets Murphy and wins. Had to do something like to load and atv on the trailer Putin the boonies deer hunting one time. Quite the adventure.
