This happened to me many years ago, driving a 3/4 ton box van, one of those days when the temperature dropped from the 80's to 20's in a couple hours...
Came around a curve, there is a car in the opposite ditch. About that time I realized why it was there. ICE!
It hadn't rained, no other evidence that there would be ice, just some strange condensation ice from the sudden temperature drop.
Well, of course I hit the same ice, began sliding side ways.
Problem is, there were about 5 or 6 people standing beside the car in the ditch, and I was sliding straight for them!!!
I was on the horn, trying to steer and wave them to run, they were oblivious to what was about to happen.
Chances are I would not have been physically injured, but I was about to cause the deaths of several people!
About that time, the truck stopped sliding...
Now, I have been in the ditch more than once, you get that feeling when you cross the tipping point, when you know you are going, and there is not a thing you can do to stop it...

The Bible references angels many times. There is no mention of them being dainty little flittering fairies! They are fearsome, and powerful! That day one prevented a huge tragedy for those people, and myself!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
