Jeff Rice - 22 Aug 2005 21:01 GMT
Am setting here awaiting the county work crew who just fixed the ditch out
in front of my house..
hey have the driveway blocked with a Gradall redoing our culvert ditch....
First it was filled in, then they dig it out and it washed out...
Then they came back and did it again with their Gradall and put down
sod...About time.
Now I am watching the umpteenth attempt using the third driver to load the
sod forklift on the trailer.
Gooseneck lowboy drive on ramp trailer was parked uphill.
Big round (and bald) turf tires would just spin. when the back tires would
hit the ramp.
Big ol' Bubba would repeatedly try to ram the thing up there and it would
just bounce and spin the tires.
And he would bounce too.
Soon, a more experienced guy tried it.
Now the third guy tried it just once, and then backed it on in one try.
