I'm OK with having one foot outside the gauge but as far as the two hoses
are concerned would you advocate bracing your inside leg against the hoses
or perhaps grasping the two glad hands in your free hand as the angle cock
is opened?
Also, have you ever had anything start rolling on you when you were "in
between"? (I'm just curious as to how often that sort of thing occurs.)
Thanks!
