You wake up Saturday morning with a ginormous headache and a house filled with passed out friends and neighbors and, if it got really rowdy, an ’87 Chevy Nova may or may not be parked in your living room. As the homeowner, you now have the responsibility of containing the carnage before it spreads into the outside world like some kind of drunken zombie outbreak. What do you do? What do you do?

Don’t worry, folks. I have weathered many New Year’s Eve parties and am here to give you the tools you need to not only survive, but to thrive.

1. Basic self first aid: When you first wake up on Saturday morning, you are going to need to be as close to 100 percent as possible. Given the 37 Jell-O shots you had in the night, as well as the shots of some unknown liquid that smelled like bathroom cleaner, you are probably feeling about 5 percent. Go to the kitchen or bathroom, drink a cool glass of water and take some pain relievers to help with your head. If you can walk in a straight line without falling over, then you are ready for step 2.

2. Search for survivors: Do a room-to-room search and try to wake up everyone you find. You may have to look in some strange places, like cupboards and dryers, because when people get drunk, they do some pretty off things. If anyone is naked, then make them put on clothes. Make sure to tell them that their other choice is going outside in their birthday suit, and you don’t want to explain that to your neighbor. Once everyone is awake, get them out… by car if they are sober and by cab if they aren’t. If there was a designated driver, then find him and remind him of his duty.

3. Begin domestic triage: You are now alone in your home; I will affectionately call it a war zone. You should have purchased extra boxes for recycling, because you are going to have much more glass and aluminum to recycle than normal. Pick up everything and put them in the boxes and set them out on the curb. You will likely get a few looks from your neighbors when they see the 34 boxes of recycled alcohol bottles and cans. Eh, they’ll get over it, and you’re doing a favor for the environment.

4. R&R: The house is clean, everyone is out and you have earned yourself some rest, i.e. sleeping it off. You should wake up several hours later feeling at about 50 percent. What do you expect with what you drank? I hope you have a great New Year!

Snow plow Abs Brake system-How does it work?

ABS) means antilock brake system , which is a safe and effective braking system. (ABS ) gives the driver the ability to maintain directional stability, control over steering, and in some situations, to help reduce stopping distances during emergency braking situation, particularly on wet and slippery or icy road surface. To gain this safety advantage, drivers NEED TO learn how to operate their ABS correctly. You want to make sure to read the owners manual of the vehicle you drive that is equipped with the ABS system. . ABS simply keeps your base brakes from locking up. In vehicles not equipped with ABS, the driver can manually pump the brakes to prevent wheel lockup

What does the ABS do to my brakes
What ABS does is very similar to a person pumping the brakes. It automatically changes the brake pressure in your truck’s brake lines to maintain maximum brake performance just before locking up the wheels. ABS does this very rapidly with electronics impulses in your brake system.

Why should I think it is important ?
As you know when your brakes lock up on wet and icy or slippery roads or at other times ,during a panic stop, you lose steering control and your vehicle can spin. Rear wheel ABS prevents wheel lockup so that your car stays in a straight line. If your car has ABS control on all four wheels, you also keep steering control. If you have steering control, it is possible to avoid a crash by steering around hazards if a complete stop cannot be accomplished in time So that’s why you should consider this a very important brake feature. When driving you may experience a rapid pulsation of the brake pedal–almost as if the brakes are pushing back at you. Sometimes the pedal could suddenly drop. Also, the valves in the ABS controller may make a noise that sounds like grinding or buzzing. In some cars you may feel a slight vibration–this means the ABS is working. It is important NOT to take your foot off the brake pedal when you hear noise or feel pulsations, but instead continue to apply firm pressure. Not all Abs systems are the same so make sure you read the ABS section in your vehicles owners manual.
