Afternoon, all. Been scanning through the posts off-and-on for the last several days like a fly on the wall watching froma distance.

Happy Birthday, Lee. Hope everyone's holiday weekend was good. We had rain the whole time, but I managed to catch up on a few items around the house.

This week is not good at the office... I'm hoping I can make it up to 25% reimbursability by noon, Friday, but I don't have a single billable hour yet and probably won't get any until late tomorrow morning at the earliest. It DOES look like we have some increased work load coming in, though, so we may be at the bottom of the dip right now.

Hope things pick up Pete.

Chris - You been riding the cycle much? Haven't put many miles on mine even though I ride almost every day to work. It's only 11 miles round trip so it does not add up very fast. lol

I just posted this at the NH thread...I was venting, here it is again...I was amused after I read it again...

Good afternoon all.....Just got back from the phone store....

I think my family enjoys killing cell phones, I have had to replace more phones in the last year, it shuts off by itself, won't receive calls, battery keeps dying, the screen doesn't change fast enough, the number 3 button is stuck, I need more memory, Jamie's phone is newer, it won't play my music, the camera doesn't work, the cat ate the charger cord, it has a scratch...........

I have had the same phone for 2 1/2 years since I dropped my previous phone in 12" of water. But I have had the same battery, the same charger, the same carrying case, the same stylus for over 2 years.

My first cell phone was in 1988, weighted about 3 lbs. was called a bag phone, then I had a handheld that weighted about 3 lbs., I think all together in the last 21 years of cell phones I have owned about 5,that averages to 1 phone every 4 years, I don't get it.......

My daughters have had cell phones for 4 years and each has had about 4 each, so equals 8 phones in 4 years to 2 phones per year.

Oh and let's not talk about my wife........I won't go there...

That has to say something about insurance and warranties, but there is still a deductible and upgrade charges that have to be paid.

All for the sake of communications........and I thought it was a good thing.

I can't say just what comes off my bucket list.

It hasnt rained here for a few days so Im back to spraying ground clear. I am sure I will have poison ivy on my legs and butt cheeks before the week is over. (I wear shorts and walking around in it it hits butt cheek bottoms) Just wish I could find some creature that would eat it. Every bug known to mankind ate all my herbs but nothing touches PI or PO Maybe ill spray em with montreal steak seasoning or something.

I just want you all to know I love ya, each and everyone.

I think that sounds like a good idea.

Tom,

Clean them well, sand the IC pipe lightly and spray the boot with some hairspray and tighten them down.

It had a bucket and grapple with it and a quick coupler to boot.

I never did any real work with a machine that large before and holy cow that's a lot of machine.

I still want one!
Pete,
if you think a 330D is a lot of machine, you need to get behind the sticks of a 345, or 365.

there is talk of getting a 385 for the quarry in the next few months. i cant wait to get behind the sticks of that thing.
the 385 weighs somewhere in the area of 200,000 lbs
