Where is everyone #5

@AModelCat a good mobil mechanic is hard to find. Possible post on craigslist...etc. I know I'd have work for you if you were in FL.

 

Herb kilmer and george schofield are the two major bluestone quarries up there ive hauled from. Montrose area. I dont know about making a killing, theyre not big corporate public traded places like Lhoist or Rogers group. But having a service truck and going on your own is a different story. The machinery only gets more complicated especially in pressure compensating servo hydraulics. There really arent any hydraulics degrees. Colleges are about not getting dirty.

 

I'm lucky in a sense that I can look at an electrical or hydraulic schematic and visualize how it works. Half the time I look at a schematic and (based on what the machine is doing) just point at a couple suspect components and its almost always one of them.

 

It was work.
Celebs do the same stupid stuff that everyone else does. But somehow, everyone else seem to think that they are smarter than all of us.

Shania Twain came to the hotel. Smoking hot woman. Well, to me she was smoking. She and her crew show up in 4 tour buses. The crew checked into the hotel, Shania came into the restaurant to eat, but she stayed in her bus for the night. She married Mutt Lange and she was surprised he cheated? How smart can she be?

I said that I met Sandra Bullock when she was in her late teens. Very nice girl. Married Jesse James. Everyone knew that was a bad move. Well, everyone but Sandra. I met Michelle McGee, the stripper that James cheated with, in a club in Laredo, trying to extend her 15 seconds of fame.

If you’re going to cheat, why get married?

 

Came out wrong lol didn't strictly mean quarries. Small world man i know the Kilmers, eddie green pretty much all the local stone guys. Half a mile further up the mountain we had a small 5 acre permit. Dad did that for 7-8 years 2000-07. The 1st time he tried getting away from trucking lol always comes back. You know how it is. Stock market up stone moves like it's going outta style. 3-4 years straight the only thing we did was pattern. Still have the block saw and the re cut table

The kilmers used to have a big quarry halfway down my road you could see all of hallstead/McDonald's sign and parts of conklin looking the other way. You prob know a lot of the same ppl we do

You by chance know Donnie Miller? Legendary dozer operator around here. If you needed some stripping done you had to give him like a months notice. Used to throw a big pig roast every summer. Anyways he was recently killed. Taking a little tractor across the stream somehow rolled it and he drowned. RIP

I was about 10 years old and he'd let tool around on the 973 on the flat parts. Hell of a guy

 

Diaz pretty much owns Montrose now. In bed with denaples, that slippery fish Louie

 

Back in high school i used to work at Glezens mostly equipment side but I'd help Scott make pallets if one of the drunks didn't show up

 

Pretty sad. St. Paul to Cleveland, 45,000 pounds, 745 miles, $750.

 

That's not bad. You're only gonna pay them about $0.65/mi to haul it.

 

Yea there's pretty much a monopoly on stone around here. It's hard being a little guy, don't have the equipment for rock. The 5 acres we had was a honey hole. Pattern pattern pattern. Hardly did any broken. Had a new holland 180 and 190. At that time the 190 was the biggest they had out I think? That 230 or whatever the big guy is dwarfs the 190.

We had 25 acres off of honey hallow road in Windsor but that was pretty much just for hunting. The good stone was on Higgins side. You know the Barnes? Their old man used to share a cross dock with central back in the day.

That's what instilled my work ethic. 10-13 i was working all summers and sat during school year.
