If I'm back in the pasture on the tractor, I usually just come to a stop, idle down a second, and stand off the side... no need to even dismount the tractor... unless there is a good wind...

I hear that! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Although, that can be dangerous too. A few years ago (like 30 /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif) I was working a summer job on a grading crew for a paving company. The grader operator used to do the same thing from the cab of the grader. He was always careful about looking around before he did anything, especially if we were working in a more urban area.

Well, one day after getting home from work, I'm relaxing while reading the paper, and lo and behold, here's a picture of the grading crew preparing the parking lot for the new store that was being built. Yup, there was the grader operator standing (with his back to the camera) in the cab of the grader! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif The caption to the picture said something like "Grader Driver Checks His Work".

Oh boy, if they only knew! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Because the way he was standing, I knew he wasn't just checking his work! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

What was really funny was that the next day at work, every guy on the crew came in with a copy of the picture and asking the grader operator to explain how he was checking his work! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I guess if he was measuring.. he should'a brought a longer 'ruler'! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Talk to lady snowmobilers about a "ladies port-a-potty". The sledders in Michigan have a system that allows her to keep the snomobile suit on.

I appreciate the "low tech" approach to cool drinks. Toward the other end of the spectrum, anyone riding one of the propane powered tractors has the means at hand for a real good cooler. The liquid propane is converted to a gas prior to going into the carb. Typically, hot water from the engine provides the heat of vaporization and prevents the site of the evaporation from frosting up. Alternatively, you can let the propane go through an orifice (cap tube or expansion valve) like with freon in an A/C and let the cooling effect chill an insulated box (small frige) and do something useful with the cooling effect rather than throw it away. This also works really good for highway vehicles that are powered by propane, especially on long runs.

There is a device.sometimes referred to as H.E.R.E. (Human Element Range Extender) It is a small innexpensive urine collection device sold by most pilot shops. There are adaptors for conversion for female use. They are quite useful in varous situations, not only flying or soaring in private aircraft. From the male perspective, they are a vast improvement over a screw lid pop bottle, at least while flying a plane.

Being the curious sort, I am intrigued regarding the female snowmobile "comfort" process. If anyone actually has personal knowledge of the process but finds it indelicate for public discussion, please clue me in via a private communication.
