2 of my kids are actually in Taekwondo. Unfortunately I am always at work when the wife takes them to their classes. I run a crew for my dad’s business 5 days a week and do work for my business on weekends. The constant work helps us survive but it does leave you longing for some social...
Thank you sir. I always considered myself fortunate to have the good friends I do sometimes I just long for a social life with others since my friends are busy like me. Little did I know trying to make new friends is a lot like dating ha!
I got a couple dogs I think the world of. An ol hound mutt and a huge bloodhound. I like something I heard once. Lock your dog and wife in the trunk for an hour then open it and see which one is truly happy to see you 😂😂😂
The funny thing is I consider myself an outgoing person but I truly don’t care much for people. I would take a day exploring a swamp over going to a concert any day of the week. I do consider my wife my best friend so I guess Im doing better than I thought at 4 good friends. My wife however is...
Hey guys I apologized for probably sounding like a whiny crybaby here but I do have an honest rant for anyone who may be going through the same situation as me. I am a 34 year old father of 3 and a loving husband to my wife who we have been married for 10 years and still as happy now as we were...
Hey guys I could use some advice on a plumbing issue I have been having. Usually when we run our dishwasher and washing machine at the same time the toilet gurgles in the kids bathroom. Stinking it up god awful. It still happens even when just running the washing machine. We replaced our...
Guys its a nice fairy tale to think that machine could pull itself out of that situation but that is exactly what it is a fairytale. Every situation is different when it comes to sinking an excavator. Whether it is how deep you are stuck, operator experience, surrounding terrain to aid in...
When a machine is sunk so far down on one side as this one is it is impossible to pull itself out with the boom. The machine has most of its weight pulling it down on the sunk side. Even if he had something solid to grab on to all it would do is pull it further down since the tracks aren’t...
That pic is after they pulled him from the edge of the pond. The water and mud followed the trail with the machine. It doesn’t take much for a heavy excavator to find a soft spot and sink even if the ground seems solid enough.
That was the trail after they pulled him so far through it. The trackhoe was tipped so far sideways that even when they got him pulled back to good hard ground the buried track was still digging through the hard dirt like a conveyor belt.
Our lowboy driver had to haul one of our trackhoes to rescue this one a guy I know got stuck at a pond. The machine belongs to his boss and is a fairly new machine. I guess I can’t rag on him too much Ive sunken one myself. Fortunately my incident wasn’t quite as bad as this. They were able...
Thank you sir. Personally I feel like I am far from a pro but Ive had some luck. Beaver and bobcat trapping seem to be fairly easy for me. Coyotes on the other hand still present a challenge from time to time. Most people seem to think that the pelts alone are worth the cost of trapping when...
Thanks for the mention Atomiccowboy! I can definitely get out there and try my hand on getting rid of the beaver and coyote for you Irondadrob but I have to charge as it is a job and they are far from giving diesel away.
Thanks guys that seems like the sensible option to vacuum to waste. I guess I was hopeful that the sand would filter out all particles but wishful thinking huh?!
Hey guys I have a pop up 18ft diameter pool with a sandpro 75d pump and filter. Unfortunately it seems like I spend more time cleaning it and trying to clear the water up than actually enjoying it. One major issue I notice is while I am vacuuming the pool out I literally see murky colored water...
