63 & still not grown up. My 4th grade teacher said "If I didn't grow up" I'd be a ditch digger when I got older & had to get a job. Ha! I wish she could see me dig the ditches with the 08 Cat 140H. I can make a mile in 20 minutes if I'm just pulling up some gravel. I bet she'd be amazed, cause when she said that it was 1954. Love the Industry!! Been in the dirt since I was 14 when Dad first put me on 2UD8 & a Wooly (wooldridge) scraper. Man I hated it. It was sooooo hot & dusty. still doin it in the dirt.

You're fourth grade teacher was right. Be the best that you can be. Sounds like you excel at what you do, and you are happy and confident in your work.

Pictures, please.

Hey goodearth13, sounds like the saying must have been taught at teachers college. I had a geometry teacher tell me the same thing in tenth grade. that was 25 years ago ( I think). Once U hit 40 u hate to think back that far
