Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for the opportunity to have a little more energy independence!

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!..Hope you all had a great dinner with family and friends!

Yes belated but I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I had a rough day myself, I was tinkering in my shop on my old New Holland Skid steer, had a gas leak I didn't know about, turned her over, it fired and set the gas on fire, I jumped up to grab the fire extinguisher, smacked my head on the lifting arm, fell to the floor, I thought it was lights out but I guess it wasn't my time, I managed to get to the extinguisher and put it out, there is a Thanksgiving day I'm Thankful for, I was alone and I think 5 seconds more and the tank would have gone!

I'm very glad you're okay Slimjim, awful thing to experience. As we can see, you're still needed here with us.

[Jwood]

Very glad you are ok slim, that could have been a bad deal.

Thanks guys, everything worked out well, it was a close one though, somebody was on my side for sure!

That makes me feel like I have to share this story.
A friend of my parents was just killed because he climbed out of his skid steer with bucket lifted and then the hydraulics failed, I've done the same thing probably 50 times taking off and putting on metal tracks but not anymore, lesson here is don't trust equipment because it could end up resulting in something terrible. Be careful guys and girls!
