Boss to dozer operator who had nearly rolled a dozer sliding sideways down a batter after getting one track on a rock, "Only you and God know how you didn't roll that dozer up there.

Obviously, I have a complete lack of self control... spent the best part of the
day ( little pun ) reading these... all 11 pages. So, about 3:00 in the after noon, I left the house and de-mounted, mounted a truck tire so I can belly
dump some gravel that I've been hauling of and on. Then, went and striped some top soil at the pit with our excavator. Got back around 11:00. This site
is going to make me sleep deprived... Well worth the read though.

Did I miss this one... old dirt contractor adage. " If you find your self in the
hole, you should probably stop digging ".

After I got a little handier with our excavator, I started to get a few smart
comments from some friends, like... " what you doing, digging a big hole some
place" ? So I made this one up. " I've always wanted to dig the perfect hole...
you know... the one that has absolutely no dirt left in it "... That usually took the smirk off there face...

PS: That's one of the perks of being a farmer- rancher, lot of times you can set your own workhours...
