Mornin Mr. Pratt and crew. I had to laugh when both yourself and Shelby talked to the equipment, due to that fact I do it too. Also please pass along to Shelby that as I was listening to her talk through the situation of rolling and the eventual lift, I was extremely impressed by her concern for the safety and working through how to minimize any further damage. As a military recovery specialist, it's extremely refreshing to hear the younger generation take all that into account. Well done young lady!
