I have had my UEI DL 49 about 3 years now and I love it. The only thing I have done to it was replaced leads. I was issued a field piece when i started, but it has since gone by the way side.

Seems like I always get calls like this. Such and such done mucked it up now i got to fix it up.

Forgot to tie down a ladder. Needless to say a tracktrailer made short work of it.

Now this I agree with.

My prayers are with all of your families. I want to say that it wasn't luck that
