Funny how so many people don't know not to back drag a file or a hacksaw. My mechanic friend just bears down on them. I figure he is too old to change now.

Because you were busy thinking about a million other things.
I wondered if it was worth writing.
Sometimes, I wonder I didn't figure out things 30 years ago. Because I was busy figuring out other things.

Stuff like that is much better done with a buzz on.
A cold one and a packed bowl never hurt a 'lil saw maintenance.

I use the 5 point check for hitching. Sucks to replace the driveway.
Complete coupler assembly (hitch pin to coupler pin).
Chains.
Jack stowed securely.
Lights.
Chocks and any obstructions beneath the trailer (landing legs, poorly place equipment, etc)

I have to look over when something gets hitched and then I'll check it over again. I might be a little OCD or not trusting which ever comes first.

I prefer to think of it as trusting. I trust that most people care about something else in life than how my equipment or job are doing. It's MY job to care enough to personally check it all out before I move the truck.

I try to have a motto...Don't get two people involved in a one-person job. An easy way for people to screw up hitching up is to have two people involved.

I was wondering how I could keep that reminder from happening Frans. Looking back at your post #35 I would put some form of (I) at the beginning of every sentence. Cured.
Sorry if my original post on that thought felt like trying to school you. That wasn't my intention.

Same here. I got it from signing for a howitzer, those ain't cheap to fix if you forget something like the axle lock or firing brakes.

I got off easy last week, driving home in the rain and dark no chains or lights, but securely coupled.
I was rushing to finish a job and get home to the kiddo on time. I wasn't focused on one thing at a time, and didn't do my five point check when hitching, nor double-check before moving the vehicle.
I found out when I got home. Chains were draped over the tongue, so they didn't warn me with a rattle on the road.
