"Pull ahead. Stop. WHAM! Back up. Stop. Repeat." I've worked yard jobs like that, Wayne!

I hear you, John -- but you're not a horse.

[john d Stone]

Hoghead is what I'm purported to be. I don't know whether that's up or down the scale from horse! None-the-less, can you imagine being faced with a lengthy stretch of piling to pound, and that's the tool you have to work with? Patient folks back then!

Doing the best they could with the tools available.

John, that is why I really do not like yard jobs. Half the time it seems like when your switching you get a car with a bad drawbar on the head pin. Makes kicking and stopping all the more fun. Only takes the second or third time, then you know to brace yourself for it.

[john d Stone]

Exactly Joe! Discomforting, to say the least!
