Off Topic. No good deed goes un punished.
Sometimes a guy just gets stupid.
I was driving south on Washington street in Twin falls it isn't too busy on the north side of pole line side. I was at the light at Pole line road, and pole line is a SUPER busy street. As I sit there a truck is flying through the intersection (with a green light) and a irrigation pump and motor, about 5 hp flies out of the back of the truck. A plastic bucket with fittings is also in the street along with a empty cardboard box. Well no cars were behind me so i jump out to get it off the road. I was wearing dark clothes so the threat of getting run over in the dark was on my mind. I grab it and the thing is WaY too heavy for me to carry so I drag it. My hand slips and I go to the ground. I twisted my back, took the skin off my hand on the pavement. My knee smacked the ground and I was lucky I had heavy duty work jeans on. I slid the thing to the side of the road and left it there. The light turned green for pole line again and I couldn't get the box off the street. I got back in my truck and as soon as I did another stupid A hole in a diesel pickup runs over the box at about 50 miles an hour.
So no good deed goes un punished. My back, and knee is killing me. I left the pump and motor on the side of the road. Someone is going to pick that up and head for he pawn shop. I couldn't lit it.

Sorry your back and knee got torn up.
i run the backroads a lot hog hunting. Okies strew stuff all over the roads. They run around without tailgates, with tailgates open and and never tie anything down.
Among the stuff i've found are a nice 327 Chevy engine with FI heads sitting on a pallet in a country intersection: Parked my truck, unloaded my tractor from the trailer and loaded up that engine. Put an ad in the paper and never heard anything. Found a 24" Stihl chainsaw and two nice loading ramps in the ditch on a country road. Again no one responded to the ad. Found a Sears cordless drill in the middle of a Lawton street.
