Regarding the pre-trip, I'm thinking it's gonna be even easier to actually do the damn thing than to remember to SAY all the stupidly specific phrases
"properly mounted and secured"
"not cracked, bent or broken"
"not cut, gouged, or bulging"
"not cut, bare, frayed or corroded"
"not cut, cracked, frayed, or glazed"
Now I just gotta think in my own head "is it f'd up, is crap missing, and is crap coming out of it that shouldn't be coming out?"
