    The last of the finger pointing got done today and by that time I had a line on who did...or didn't...do what. If you just stand there and not say anything it makes them nervous. When they get nervous enough they start to talk. When they start to talk eventually some of what they say will be what actually happened. No point in yelling at anybody now...but I'll remember some of the lies I heard today.
    The work on the 966 was stuff we usually do in-house but our shop is slammed right now so I took the machine to town instead. The boys went down and got it and the forks and the hoses and the pins and brought it all home. We'll put it together tomorrow.

    Did the truck thing yesterday. Poor young man driving his boss's old IH massively under powered Deeetroit; pulling out headed up the grade trying not to hold up the old dudes in the big KW's & Petes- complete stop three times not getting her in the slot. Take a breath, get your heart rate down, we're not laughing. We were all there once.

    Almost did that going into the TA on Dallas Pike with the 815 compactor two weeks ago…. Forgot how steep the left hand turn was from the eastbound off ramp.

    Better to be busy than standing around. We're flat out as well. Sounds like there's a decent amount of OT on the horizon too.
