Been on the road for 2 days, and almost had an accident.

FedEx Double jack knifed on the exit ramp and I almost joined him.

See video:

Going to bed now. Will try to read my emails after I wake up. I know a few people are waiting for replies, guilds to be created, etc.

Slippery much? Be careful out there, and make a will or power of attorney so if you die the server lives on.  Grin

Yikes!  Glad you were able to get traction back.  One of the biggest mistakes people make is stick on the breaks.

If you're ever down by Chicago suburban area, give me a holler and i'll be happy to treat you to dinner & drinks.

Be safe out there!

Actually, I was just coming back from Chicago. I was taking the Indiana 80/90 Toll Road.

What you can't see in the video is my mirrors. My trailer was swinging to the right the whole time, so I was trying to get the trailer strait at the same time I was trying to steer away from the FedEx truck. Also, after I passed that truck, there was traffic merging from the left, and people walking around on the right, that can't be seen on my dash cam. I was able to get it down to 5 MPH before I gained traction.

I got a night vision dash cam on order. I love these things. I have a 32 GB Micro SD card with infinite loop that over writes oldest files, for about 8+ hrs worth in 1920 x 1080. Worth the investment for any type of driver (Taxi, Trucker, Police, etc).

This video is exactly the reason that my vacations will be in Jan/Feb for now on. Winter time is a hazard to my job security.

The music I was listening too was some sort of Various Artist / Remix of Techno/Rave/Trance/etc. I listen to lots of different types of music with Techno being the most common. It keeps me awake at night. I never been to a rave either, just find this stuff online.

 That explains where the "fairy" thing in there with 2.0 mob come from!  Cheesy
