Lol God Spaceman I almost peeded myself on this one toxic waste geezzz good point about the playing in the road. I am sooooooooo glad I am way the hell out in the desert so I dont have noseys around pigs dogs cats yes but no noseys. Crappy roads caused me to go to a fixed placed mixer right off the bat not that that has not been thrilling a few times. The van, go kart, and car have all jumped the rollers atleast once thank god for deadman switchs. The mixer has twice so it makes for good pucker power from time to time. I have been lucky the last 2 years seem to have everything trimmed out right no jumping. Ken

I have many panels with dog tracks in them, and even a couple with tire tracks (don't ask). Then there are several that workshop attendees decorated with various patterns. There was one time when I was still towing my mixer, when it came unhitched in the middle of the road, spilling all over the asphalt as the tongue headed skyward. I tried hanging off the hitch but it wouldn't come down. I scooted home and got a 10' large diameter pipe and used it as a lever to get the tongue down and rehitched, then shoveled most of the pc back into the mixer. By that time several people had gathered to watch, and one young mother accused me of dumping toxic waste in the road. She said it was a hazard because her kids played there. Asking why her kids play in the road did not help the situation : ). She just wouldn't believe that it was just paper and water, threatened to call the EPA! That incident was one of the reasons I made my mixer stationary and quit towing it.

Have had a couple of less than successful mixing experiences here on my first two 'getting back into it' go arounds.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. Can't really share this stuff with non-papercreters, they wouldn't really appreciate it or even know what the heck I was talking about. Terry in AZ
