on a lighter note...

We need a picture of that!

Unfortunately it was before the days of cameras in phones.

One of my guys got the skid steer stuck cleaning out a log jam in a marshy area. I got the first tractor stuck trying to get him out. Another one of my guys got the second tractor stuck trying to get me out.

We called a wrecker and even though it was chained to a tree as an anchor, got it stuck. The wrecker was at least able to winch out the second tractor. I went to the yard and got a spool of 150' of wire rope and with multiple pulls from a safer distance, was able to winch out the other equipment. We had to drive steel posts into the ground and attach come-a-longs to the skid steer to keep it from flipping as it was being winched out.

I asked the wrecker driver how much I got to charge him for getting him unstuck. He gave me a discount.:cool:

Complete waste of a day.

Sounds like you could've used help from Ukranian farmers and their tractors? LOL

Sir, I will gladly take that 16 gauge off your hands. I was waiting for your Winchesters but I'm a sucker for a 16 ga.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?
