    Hope he's doin' well.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Talked to him Sunday, started a new job hauling heavy equipment with a lowboy.....with his hand still in a surgical splint! Had to take the job, or it wouldn't be there the next day. I suppose the splitter is going to be his physical therapy, says it makes his knuckles hurt using it.
    Driving the stick would be bad enough with that hand, but he has to load/unload the equipment too.
    He's also having to learn how to operate the equipment, to get it off and on the trailer. He's discovered the steering wheel on a road grader has no effect on the direction you want it go. :)

    I think BSR has had more jobs than I've owned M1s. I hope it works out for him.

    I do, for one.  Sounds like there are others, also.

    Just tell him to watch those big dozers!  Slide a track off the side on one of those and a mashed hand will be the least of his worries!  And steel on steel is like greased snot!
    Scrapers are always 'fun' too, especially the big tandems like the 637's and the like.  Can't see a dang thing.

    He already had a near miss with a new dozer, has a bunch of computer controlled throttle, and hydraulic controls that are all bassackwards. Stomp the pedal to the floor and it idles onto the trailer in low gear. Take your foot off, and it goes full throttle.
    You can guess how he found out.

    Ya didn't see the devil?  I have know him for a while and was just poking fun.  I have great confidence he will do what it takes to be on top in the end.  and yeah, I care.  But don't tell Lonnie...

    CAT dozers have been like that for a long time now!  Since the late 80's at least, back when I was runnin' 'em.
    It's so you can keep your feet free for the track brakes.
    Lonny's showin' his age!  LOL!
    I guess he's not the only one. The last Cat I loaded up on a lowboy, had a pony motor!

    There are really only five:

    1) I'm home.
    2) I'm on the road and in BF Egypt
    3) I'm broken down
    4) I just got into an argument with (pick no more than two) a shop owner, a mechanic, a dispatcher, some driver from Swift Truck
    5) I'm looking for another job

    Paid well but was HEAVY work just dragging the damn chains around.  
    Oh and ice + metal tracks are a special kind of ride getting on board.
