A strap around a back post so you can lift without praying helps a bunch. Come to think of it, I used to be able to get an upright out of a pickup by myself too, without a ramp. That's mostly just being in the right place. Somehow, against all reasonable odds, I never killed myself doing this stuff. I did, however, sneeze while I was pulling off a kneeboard once, and was crippled for over a week. Go figure. Is there a Patron Saint for idiots? I think mine must surely be worn out by now, so I try to be more careful these days. Tilters, and professional movers, are GREAT. Ron N
