Gotta love it when people don't know how to read a tape measure or do the conversions when its in metric.'

Someone should have at least had a feel for what them dims were. Weight can be a bit misconceiving because of casting machining. but still 1,500 lbs vs 36,000 lbs is a lot of difference. how were they planning to load it? Did they try to pick it with a forklift and fail?

My guess someone failed at multi-tasking and got. Loads mixed up when they're planning loads out

That is very sad.

I’ve lost a few customers also. Not easy at all. And even worse when you find out and you can’t go give your respects.

Damn that looks good! Your boy is getting big. I still remember your post about him climbing up on your truck using the exhaust as a step.

Yep, mine turns 4 in a couple weeks. Freaky, how fast they get big, he just moved out of his baby seat into a booster. Never thought I'd be sad to see that pain in the ass to go away...:rofl:

Ours are 22 and 19 and both in college. The time flies so fast....enjoy them when they're little 'cause they get big very, very quickly. :)

The funeral for the couple I mentioned earlier was an inspiration. Packed church. Father hit an absolute home run with his sermon/impressions of the couple. Their kids are incredible. The jist of everything said was to have strength of self, have character, and have faith in oneself, others, and God.
I made the point to another person that "You never know just how many people's lives you've affected in a positive way until you're gone."
They were an amazing couple. I walked out of the church no longer upset about their deaths, and confident the kids will be ok. The community will help assure that.

The other day at work treed some sections of old growth doug fir gerders out of the building. Then cut down the structural wood posts. Here's a action shot of me working the saw as the other bellman called the hook.

I landed a 7×2-7/8 hanger and caped it with production tree on an oil well. And charged the customer a boatload to use my hydraulic torque wrench for 30 minutes

Rebuilt a cheaply built cut-a-way a few weeks ago. Had this piece of railroad track for several years and finally put it to use.
