Attention all Truckers, Bus Drivers and other users of AIR BRAKE BUTTONS !! Snap on hurts your hand every time, bad design, right? I invented years ago an AIR BRAKE LEASH out of 3' of REI 6-7mm kernmantle colorful cordage and I for decades have not had my hand spanked often,,, at work!!

Take your 3ft length of whatever rope you like,3 strand hemp twist or fancy kernnantle and tie a single fisherman's knot with the ends.
Move this knot to the 4-5oclock position.
At the 12 oclock position, pinch the loop and make an overhand knot just big enough to fit over your air brake button.

The overhand knot of the pinched together loop will keep the AIR BRAKE LEASH on the air brake button.
And the single fisherman's knot will be easier to grab than just two loose ends.
Really saves your right hand, all day long!!

I also invented the TWO HANDS MAP OF SF BAY.
And the 2 FACING LINES OF 6 AND 4 ADULTS IN A STRAIGHT LINE, ARMS OUTSTRETCHED, FINGERS TOUCH to show the max width (24ft) of our California coastal redwoods vs the max width (36ft) of our non-lumber California mountain redwoods. The tallest, use to be 400ft, trees in the World,,,96% cut down and still clear cutting!!
And the biggest trees in the World !! California also has the bristle cone pine, the oldest tree in the World !!
