I parked in front of a store today on the ice, turned and saw my truck taking off on its own, so I grabbed the truck and all that accomplished was now I was sliding down the damn hill too. But I was able to hang on and pull myself up into the truck with just my arms-THAT would never have happened in a million years a year or so ago. We got stopped and righted before we hit anything or anyone.
My abs are a bit sore from the effort, but I was pleased that I could do it.
(Before you fuss, I never was BEHIND the truck-I do have some common sense...LOL).
I parked my brothers 4 wheel drive in his drive way..forgot to pull the parking brake walked away and about 10 minutes later we all heard a big BAM.his truck rolled down the drive into a huge boulder that was bigger than the truck. I thought he would be furious....he just looked at me and said well sis if the boulder wasnt there..you would be hiking down that steep hill... did I mention his driveway his on a hill and it was sleeting...yep thank God for that boulder

The irony was I set the parking break-I never do that (habit from driving sticks for so long). I'm really sore, but trying to imagine that I grew muscles during that little fiasco.
And how sad is this-all I could think of was the ribbing I was going to take if I got a dent in my new truck. (I still get asked about the dent in the Escape because Daddy likes to hear me tell how I hit myself with my own trailer).
