Last Saturday I had to go to my brother in law's funeral.
It had been raining all day, it was just before dark.
A guy who works with my son, (and used to work with me) that my in law's family grew up with, came to show his respect.
Only problem being, was that with all the puddles he didn't see a hole in the alley across the street from the funeral home, until the front end of his Honduh fell into it and he was stuck. He came in to see if anyone had a tow strap or chain or something. I was the only one who had anything, and it was a very light duty ratchet strap. Maybe 500 lb capacity, at most. We tried it, and snapped it just by letting off the brakes, not yet touching the gas.
looking in the club cab section of my Dakota I found a spare belt for a quiet line from the electric clutch to the deck that I forgot that I had. With nothing else available we figured why not.. hooked it up to my hitch ball and to a hook under his bumper and surprisingly I was able to pull him out with it.
