Where is everyone #5

After playing catchup to 173 Posts last evening, it occurred to me that U may have been sampling some of that Hooch 23

 

You wouldn’t know from the picture that we were union would you? Elevator constructors union.

 

125 miles into my day and I haven’t had to drop a gear or turn the engine fan on. After 5 years of driving that truck this is un-B-lievable.

 

Good deal Sir! You sound much happier!

 

All the scalemasters in Brownsville Tennessee
Really should bypass trucks on ELD
I don't wanna be the one to tell em
That aroma they've been smellin
Aint the Tornado Mexican bus
Its piss with a hint of asparagus

You're supposed to stop
And drain your kidneys
I've gone from several breaks to hardly any
And the thing that really gets me
Is how it smells at the scales in Tennessee

 

Speaking of unions.... @rank , R&L bought this Rig brand new from a company in Canada way north of Washington state. It was a Canterra Drilling Rig, Roger “in the picture “ had it custom built for our needs.

Far right you can see the back of the 1600 CFM Ingersoll Rand compressor..., looks like a Shwauns food truck. We ran a 2” line to the drill head for the DHH ( Down the Hole Hammer ).

We were on a job in Louisville, KY one week. The contractor that got the job was non-union, at that time there was only 1 Drilling company then that was nonunion.
Union guys came in picketing the job Friday afternoon. Anyway we go home for the weekend, come back Monday morning to find every air line, every visible hydraulic line, and every tire had lost the battle with what we figured was a 1/8” drill bit. And the radiator of the S series International the Rig was mounted on, it got 1/2” rebar. Few years later that Rig was destroyed in a flash flood, found it about 1/2 mile down stream.

 

Make hay while the sun shines



Mornin y’all.

 

Nothin like a B model when they is right

 

Until it runs out and surrounds the pancakes like a moat around a Castle.

 

You the one pitching or receiving?
