Last night was busy and long. Wednesday night I had to make a 200 mile roadtrip with a mental health patient taking him to a hospital right at the Tennessee line....sucky trip and I think I was a little nuttier when I got done with it.

Ut oh....I mean, Hi! lol
What were you drinking?

edit- Heya Pete! Ya, I get it man on the shutdown. Now on the coordination thing, I've got that down. Lots of practice, but I can drive, spin and be ready for the next move pretty quick. Now, let the mods decide if that was about the excavator, or...

That sucks. I have never been able to figure out what it is about crazy people that makes me so uncomfortable. Maybe its because they are so unpredictable, and I analyze people and base my assumptions about them on their patterns of behavior.

Oh well. At least you have a weekend to relax.

By the way Brent I'd talk to Tom or my old man about equipment operating before you bothered talking to me. I am not what you would call a finish grade operator. I can rough things in and I can do it efficiently. I can also run any type of plant you've got however I'm just not steady enough to lay a finished grade.

And by the way I'd be happy to give you all the seat time you want on anything we've got laying around if you fly yourself out here. Just think of the slopped out pins and bushings and tracks that move 3" when you swing the house as an added challenge to help improve your operating if you use the excavator. Man that thing is a POS.

Hah Lisa your funny :P

Heya Brent, i cant get enough of those lake pics there man, beautiful!

Heya Pete, not out and about causing a ruckus tonight? When I was your age I sure would have been. Hell I feel like it right now, but all my partners in crime live to far away now haha.

Hey Alicia. Least you drink a real drink! Although i do prefer the classic tequila with the salt and lime for tequila. When I do drink (which isnt very often anymore) its either Pilsner, whiskey, or vodka. I was getting on a rum kick for awhile there though.


On edit: Pete you should see my hoe, its getting pretty sloppy in the pins and bushins too. This winter I plan on putting new ones in, or selling it and upgrading to a 02ish 580 sm maybe.

Yeah the weekend will be nice. The good thing about this guy was he had enough different personalities, I didn't have to talk to him...he talked to himselves.

My favorite drink
Patron is good. Tonight I had Herradura.

Never had tequila coffee, but I'd be willing to try...

salt and lime... we call those training wheels up here.

Whiskey is good too, but I do tequila most often...

Nope. I'm not the go out and party type. I'm not really comfortable in crowds. Unless it's an FTE crowd and that's an entirely different situation. Like RRE.

But I also feel like crap right now. Probably just getting a nasty cold. And I'm real tired so I'm gonna go sleep now. Got 8 hours of dealing with people tomorrow. Some far dumber than others.

Excuse me? Do you know what kind of apple I bought here last year? It was really good.

Can you describe it?

It was red and it was really good.

Thanks for being so f-ing specific! It was a red apple. That'll really narrow it down! So let's see we eliminated what. 2/20 varieties we've got? Thanks! But I've still got to stand there with that phony smile and prentend I know what they're talking about.

Edit for sheldy: Yea my hoe has more than paid for itself at this point. Your hoe is smaller than mine though although I'm sure it's not as dirty as mine. I've got a very dirty hoe. But my hoe seems to have never been greased in its previous life. When you walk it along the bucket clanks around pretty good and when you are swinging loading a truck it can be a pretty odd feeling when you want to stop swinging the house and then it rolls 3" without you wanting it to.
And you can't sell it yet! I haven't had a chance to run it yet. I've always wanted to run the Case controls on a TLB. All I've ever run on em is wobble sticks.
