<<Motorcycle accident 2 1/2 years ago, paralyzed right arm. Not an easy
switch for me to go from 2-4wd while in motion. I've done it before, but
not at highway speeds. And i'm not real comfortable leaning over to reach
and throw it into 2wd, and back and forth as conditions change.>>

Sorry dude, after I sent the message I was thinking this might be the
case...

<<And i will be keeping the speed down, but not worried about my own
driving, the other fools on the road is what i watch out for.>>

Yeah, it's a trip without end... It was snowing here (Boston) when I had to
go for a ride to get an MRI for my back (what a f*cked up ordeal that was!).
It totally drives me nutz! People seem to drive either way too slow or too
fast for conditions. I figure people have got to learn to relax and accept
the "Nervous Nellies" out there in bad weather and not feel that they have
got to make up time once they get past them. It's just a pet theory of mine
and does nothing to explain the almighty idiots of the world... For
instance, Mr. Ford Exploder decides to park in one lane of a two lane
roadway to off-load somebody's luggage tonight! I couldn't f*$&'n believe
it! The roads were totally covered in snow and it was a completely
unexpected place for someone to stop AND there was no way to get around this
sh*t-head. I was caught by a dual thought of, "I hope somebody hit's this
idiot" and "I hope nobody gets hurt"! Quite frankly I don't know which
thought won, but for the sake of my humanity I hope it was the later! The
Mo-Fo sure deserved it though (still undecided, I guess)...
