Is that thing derailed or am I seeing things. With the hopper on there it looks like your adding ballast to the ties? Are you back working for the big K or was this a couple weeks ago?

Hey qball, I've heard the hall is pretty empty right now over in Anchorage. There's a lot of work going on in the state now. Seems to always be a huge push about now with companies trying to finish before winter. We're supplying three operators, and our Barge, Crane and other Toys to an outfit out of Seattle for a Fuel Pier rebuild for the Coast Guard. Been working Seven Twelves since the middle of June. Did take the 4th off though. Deadline is October 1st. Ain't gonna make it! Ain't even gonna be close.

Nice Fuel Pyre.. peer?.. Pierre? Where's that spell checker!

I wanna build one just like it on my snapper pond!

Well, it's more like a frog pond... more termites actually.


OK, it's a bunch of drowning trees in the middle of a mosquito ranch!

How much dew could a Do-Mor store if a Do-Mor could chop stew?

Anybody ever get a Do-Mor stuck in a swamp? I'm lookin' at buyin' a '79 707 with the real long backhoe on it... It's more of a kit really with 2 bad injectors and a broken front ring gear and a rebuilt but bent front boom. Seriously, is this a fool's errand? Do the injectors run off the main camshaft?:pointhead
