Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

About 8 years back we had string of fires started along US Hwy 20 near the Santiam Pass and it was caused by a DRAGGING safety CHAIN, fires popping up every mile or so and people were stopping to put fire out.

During fire season in Oregon people traveling on forest roads are required to carry shovel, axe and water or fire extinguisher.

My job had my covering Oregon around that time and I recall driving Santiam Pass a number of times and the devastation from fires was remarkable. Not sure if that was the year you mention of not. Beatitiful highway undisturbed.

I've caught my riding mower smoldering in the barn just from the build-up of wet grass under the mower deck. Scared me.

Had that last time I mowed. Had a small dead limb drop into the motor compartment and settle in next to the muffler. Thankfully I smelled it smoldering get when I parked it in the garage and removed.

The good 'ole days! Remember the seats in the back of little Subaru pickups?

All the farmer kids used to ride in the back of the pickup everywhere. It was often their only car.

I had something like that round baling last year. The round baler picked up a half inch diameter dead stick and it got stuck next to one of the rollers. By the time I stopped and got the bale out, it was black, charred and smoking.

This was yesterday morning on way to work. No straps or bands of any kind. Not on the flats to the pallet, or the pallet to the truck.



And for the 'Net Nanny's, I was stopped at a red light behind him when I grabbed my phone for the pic.

Still legal here in Missouri for families if the truck is the only vehicle. I have never seen it, but I live in the suburbs.

Years ago a lady around here cut her grass, parked her riding lawn mower next to the house and went in to take a shower. Next thing you know, the house was on fire!

A number of people have set fire to their house with portable generators as well.
