Senior or senile, one of the two. It was storming, wind, rain, I backed the trailer in, hurried, dropped it, disconnected, and headed to town in a hurry. Got to the main highway, ground reverse real bad. Played with the gear lever, got it back in gear hit the throttle, when to shift and would not go into third and forth. Now holding up traffic, pulled over and stopped. Considered what could be wrong with the trans started to worry, then it hit me what was wrong. So I put it in 2 high and went on down the road....

 

DOOOOOOOH!

 

Way to go Bill!

I am laughing because I can picture some one doing that by accident errr umm not that I have ever done such a thing

 

I know that I would have done that, if I had a transfer case.

 

That is so funny I haven't pulled that one yet, but I've done worse that I won't admit to.

 

done it.... hope to not do it again......

 

Duh which way he go george?

 

Sounds familiar, glad you didn't have one of those "spli-tailed snakes" following you too..

 

Yup, those "senior moments" are tough. In a pouring rain I backed the 5th wheel into its covered storage site, got out, chocked it, put down the front landing legs, opened the hitch jaws and took off the breakaway switch cable, dropped the tailgate, and got back into the truck. There was a water puddle right ahead of the truck, so I said to myself, "Self, if you'll pull about 12 feet or so forward, you won't have to climb out in standing water."

Everything worked fine until I hit the end of the 5th wheel's umbilical cord that was still connected to the 7-pin connector in the bed of the truck!
