I didn't know you quit boozin'! Keep it up man! It's not nearly as hard as you think it'll be! Before you know it a year will have passed... On a side note a crane almost flipped into our ditch a couple of weeks ago! We were forty feet deep laying TWENTY TON twenty foot pieces of pipe, big ****! Anyway the operator had to switch his counterweight and while he was waiting for a bigger one to arrive, he forgot to engage his swing lock and his stabilizers were up. Gust of wind the boom swung and all the tires on one side were in the air! ****ing nuts! No one in the cab! Dude hit the switch for his stabilizers just in time!!! He was shaking the rest of the day! I think my cousin took some pics with his phone, if he still has them i'll post them. But it would have been all over the news. We were working at a sewer plant on a big new phase. 90 ton crane rolling down thirty feet on our komatsu 600, ****ing up an unfinished building we were right next to, would have been a ten million dollar **** up easy! Craziest **** I've ever seen and didn't see luckily!
Take care man
