Holy crap.....MacGyver would be astonished with some of those Shocked
Good stuff Grin
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

That one really is a great idea. If we make them look a little prettier we could sell them on TV. A set of 5 for only 4.99. But wait, call now and we'll double the offer!  Grin Grin

The one about the steering wheel is actually pretty common. A lot of mail men on rural routes where they have to use their own car do that so that they can sit on the right side and easily reach the mail boxes. The whole rig is sold as a kit. Wink

My Mom is a mail man... mail woman... letter carrier, but she only has an extra break pedal on the right side, no steering wheel.

I've always been amazed at the letter carriers in rural areas that have to drive that way. With power windows, I think I would just use one of those grabber sticks.

I use to use my combat boots to hold up my iron to make soup and coffee when they took away our microwaves, (cause some S#!tbirds didn't keep theres clean). And if your buddy let you borrow there iron you could make grill cheese sandwiches, just make sure you sprayy on the Pam, not the starch Grin

Most of us would rather a brake pedal... things fall apart easily enough on their own  -- or is that the pedal she pushes when she wants to stop for coffee?

I assume that she uses it when she stops for coffee, or when she stops for lunch, or even when she stops to correct my spelling. Wink
