Morning everyone.

Justin, drove by after washing the truck and the Mountaineer was in the driveway and looks fine.

Took the hard top off the Jeep last night and put the soft top on. So I left it open to get a nice breeze, and they are now calling for some scattered showers. I guess my wife may get a little wet on the way home tonight. But isn't that the fun of owning a Jeep.

Good morning everyone.

That's not a bad deal Justin, wheel bearings aren't a bad fix on those.

Glad to hear you guys are enjoying the nice weather John. Hope it sticks around for awhile!

Afternoon All!

Afternoon from Hot, Humid and a Little Sunny and A Little Grey City of Stamford!

Hardest part about work is figuring out how to do "work" when I I want to do is go home and work on the Ex!

Mike

Evening guys, we got an early start today, and then couldn't make it to our first job site, two stuck concrete trucks on a little single lane gravel road that cuts through a swamp! The one truck, I don't know what happened, the guy must not have been paying attention and drove right off of the road and into the swamp, the other concrete truck was already on the job and emptied out then tried to pull the other truck out, dug it and was then stuck as well. The truck that is off of the side has 7 yards in it, we just backed out and left, we will try and get back in there tomorrow if they were able to free the trucks. it's only maybe a foot or two wider than the trucks on each side.

The swamp driver must have been on his phone.

Good morning everyone.

Wow Kyle, that's quite a situation those guys go themselves in. It was a big mistake for one truck to try and pull out the other, that could have ended up with a rollover or worse.

Wonder how they managed to get them out. That's a lot of weight on extremely unstable ground.
