JD I think most of us get up every morning with a sound mind and we still do stupid things from time to time. I know I have and got the marks to show for it. One of my close friends got pinned between a MF tractor and a Kubota RTV last year for over 6 hours until the rancher that owned the property next to her found her. Luckily she was not hurt very bad but spent a few days in the hospital. She had changed the fuel filter on the tractor when it went down in the field and was standing in front of the rear wheel when reached up and turn the key.

I see it in my father everyday he's pushing 80 and you better not try and tell him he doesn't need to something. Just my thoughts Glad your friend is Ok
