indeed...cool how he flips to give his back every time, never taking his eyes off the shark.

as a former turtle owner this story pleases me 😊

Best part for me was the end when he chomps down on the shark’s tail. Shark noped out of that real quick.

Growing up my dad was partners in a haying operation and they had a Pete with something like this and I remember the 5th or 6th shift, depending if you used low, you had to move both levers to get the next gear (I couldn't operate the clutch and steer anyway at that age). If it was a short trip and I was driving I would just get there at 30 mph.

You'd split the main with 3 to 4 on the aux.  le, 2 on the main and 3 on the aux, shift the aux to 4, then shift the main to 3 and aux down to 3.  You spend literally half your time shifint both levers.  You learned real fast how to be a real super trucker.
