In the chatroom last night, the topic of truck moose bumpers (also called moose bars or moose guards) came up...well here are a few examples:

Similar but not the same as 'bull bars' on a pickup or SUV, these need to fold forward to allow the large hood to tip forward for access to the engine.

Being a mechanic I always had problems with those things! Lol!!! Forget to latch one and it folds under the front and stops you dead in your tracks often. Most are not strong enough and if they are weigh too much as well as decrease the effectiveness of lighting at night. I’ve found it’s best to have that little bit of fear of hitting things and slow down rather than false confidence that those provide. Just my opinion.

I usually post a link to the chat when I post the weekly reminder. You just click that link, and the chat will load. You'll load in as a guest with a random number. If you wish you can left click on "yourself" and get a popup menu. One of the options is to change nickname. We hope to see you next Tuesday night!
 
I fell asleep at the end... woke up and everyone was gone.
 
This is getting complicated... first I have to remember it’s Tuesday tomorrow. Then get my nappy in!!! I don’t know... that’s a lot to make hap...zzzzzzzzz!
You're late! lol time to wake up from that nap
