I will be there friday morning and there aint a piece of iron I cant run got a lot of time in the operators seat.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Sounds like the operators far outnumber the machines.

 

[jw4x4]

I am very adept on any piece except a road grader. We just never use them much and haven't spent much time on one.

If it's got wheels, and a propulsion device, give me 10 min and I can operate it. Maybe not too well, but I can get the job done.

Hopefully it stays that way. Once the machines outnumber the people there could be a machine uprising (the terminator movies aren't that far fetched).

My Dad was a crane truck driver when he was in the Operating Engineers Union. Thanks for the pic and yes, there is a reason my Brother and I are drawn to operating heavy equipment.

To complement Wreckerman's 'So Sweet It'll Make Your Teeth Hurt' tea, we will have 'Local Free Range Bug Juice' Koolaid this year. Bring your nets so we'll have enough to keep up with the demand.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Will you folks be making the tea and bug juice with the same rain water as last year?

They said it was rain run off, don't remember ANY rain from WED to Sunday so not quite sure where they got the RUN OFF.

Well ya see, there's this little white pipe that comes out of CAMO's M109 camper that's hooked to the sink and the...er...well...never mind!

 

[Ferroequinologist]

The water in the pond was rain at one time, and ran down the hill to get to the pond

There's the RUN OFF.

I thought they were skimming the top layer of the porta johns for the tea and bug juice.

My late Father was also a 30 year Operating Engineer, so I also enjoy getting behind the controls of that stuff whenever the opportunity presents itself..which doesn't seem to be very often these days.

All this talk of "operators" inspired me to finally post a video to youtube. It's a video of me loading concrete on my first bobbed deuce. I miss that truck. If you have nothing better to do, watch it. It's 10 minutes of your life you will not get back.

This is the truck I drove to the first big Georgia rally back in 2007. Oh, I miss that truck. By the way, I have been running this exact machine for 10 years now. I could scratch your head with it (although I wouldn't, that would be dangerous). The thumb is a must. I can pick up almost anything with it. Of couse it digs good too.

This was last year on the way from Florida to the rally. I thought it may get some folks excited about the rally. We're getting close!

That looks fun. My deuce has been alone since she left Clinto's house on December 31 last year. I hope she gets a chance to run with a heard at the rally.
