Don't you guys watch CSI? Not if I can find something else to do. Yes, I'm a tv engineer with many decades of experience in the technical nuts and volts, but the main reason I actually watch it is to judge picture quality or verify a problem, then get on the phone & check to see if I can use the hands that are there on site to effect an adjustment before I saddle up my GMC, and head for the mountain, stopping at the bottom to chain up the front (its a 4wd) as that road isn't worthy of the name this time of the year. Right now it needs a dozer for most of a day, and about 800 to 1000 ton of rock to stiffen up the heavy clay content mud. But the dozer wouldn't be safe as it could slide and fall off the ledge when the road is this soft. So we have to grin and bear it till its stiff enough to support the dozer and the 16 wheelers bringing up the rock. Which BTW, only drive the back 8 (two axles) of those wheels.
