Morning Jim., Yea another downpour after downpour, lost an excavator in a hole yesterday, thats why I wasn't one, they recalled all shifts and had Mandey's towing company out with there big sidewinder, just couldn't get the ground to hold the out riggers. 6- 3/4 inch sheets of marine grade ply 4X8, punched holes right in them. It was worse than quicksand, township would not let us ancor to the street of curbs, we had so many pulley's and shackles, 1 inch cable going everywhere. We wound up making a boom from 2 excavators for the front, used Mandey's truck, with twin winch lines for the back and a D-10 dozer to pull the cable. Once she was uprighted, did a quick inspection, added motor oil, dyked and dammed the oil and fuel spill. She started right up, smoked for half hour, but once she had full power back we used her claw and the other trucks to walk her up the foundation wall. Started at 3 am and got home at 9pm. Soaked mud head to toe, wife made me take all my clothes off on the porch and covered with a towel before even thinking of stepping into the house. Bad day. Put a tarp down in the truck to protect as much as I could, no more of that. So Hope you guy's had a better day than me and a even better one today. If any of you guy's want these shirts, PM me your size and address and I will get them out to ya. Spring cleanup last weekend brand new in bags.

I was home most of the day with this lousy cold and as far as I know Jim wasn't chasing Helen anywhere. Dave, better get your stories straight or Jim's going to be in deep doodoo.

Sounds like Dave had a fun day but without pictures it could be all BS. How do we know??? He does have an active imagination.

I like the shirt - I already have the hat. Got the hat for a measly $60k when they gave me the truck.

Rained hard last night and still raining. Another dreary day. I've got to get moving - have 2 conference calls this morning but this cold is slowing me down.

Just ordered $2,500 of electrical supplies to rewire mom's house so it will meet code for a sale. Really looking forward to this project - not. Old house wiring is a PITA. Done it to three houses and not looking forward to this one. But once it's done and I get the old underground oil tank out of the ground we should be good to sell the place.

Have a great day boys. Keep your powder dry.

Oh, and Dave, best not plan on BBQ up here after I tell Helen about the rumors you're spreading about her and Jim. She's a pretty dead on shot with several of the guns in the safe - might be looking to use you for target practice!

Good morning Shawn! Well, good to see we've put that rumor to bed. I had to rewire the first house Connie and I lived in. Yes, it is a Mark I, Mod 0 pain in the ***.
