Be careful when you lift the lever to lower a jackstand. If you are holding onto it with the other hand it may bite you.

Whenever I injury myself while working on the bus by doing something less than intelligent, only my wife and cat get to hear about it. Both seem equally uninterested in being party to my tales of woe. I hadn't thought about posting to the Samba before now, in order to reach a larger and hopefully more sympathetic audience. Thanks, Tom.

Jack stands bite, but unsafe jacking sucks.

Sorry to hear that Tom. But better a blood blister on your finger than a bus on your chest.  |

| You should have filled out a CHAT card before jacking up your bus. |
