      The word you are looking for is, “SERVICE”. In the LDS vernacular “service” translates to helping others (even on the Sabbath day) to retrieve their ass from the pit.

    Every time I see grandpa sherms mountain goat wrecker it makes me smile. When I was a kid working in a salvage yard I drove a square body wrecker just like it. I also enjoyed seeing Landon driving his truck out on the trail’s to a recovery. If your out in the wilderness stuck broke down or whatever the issue and see these trucks coming to the rescue what you thought was a bad day just turned out to be a blessing.
    Great job Team FabRats.

      He was trying to do the right thing by airing down. He is just learning the difference in pressure between sand and rocks for his load. He seemed like a good guy that was willing to learn and will do better every he goes out. He is light years ahead of some of the others rescued. I wouldn't mind having him in a group.
