    So I ended up flying out to do a rig recovery and I'm doing a load with It on the way back to the yard. Where I'm going to pick mine back up.

    I finally learned how to load a scraper. Prior to this the only one I had loaded was half of one.
    A lot easier than it was described to me.

    I mean yeah yesterday was when I rolled out with it relatively late in the day. And yes it started raining last night and all that morning in that area. Definitely good sleep in weather.

    I love the crew over at Decatur, our fleet has made quite a few friends over there. Always a pleasure to work with a lot of those guys.

    I'm trying to remember the guy who unstacked me, absolute artist with a forklift took about a minute and a half to get that booster pinned. From the moment he grabbed it.

    No it wasn't Stacy because he didn't show up until I loaded the machine. And he guided the guy on who was on the forklift, but forklift guy was driving the machine this time. Gray bearded fellow a bit wiry.

    And Stacy was there double-teaming stuff with me. Always great help. I was sitting there shimming the neck and he was handing me some from the pocket. Cuz I needed a couple more plates. Sitting there raising it back up locking the pin when I backed back up to the deck.

    There aren't many people that I will trust to operate my trailer, Stacy I will. There's a lot of our guys that love the crew down there and many of us have a great working relationship with them. It's definitely a favorite place to load out of. Everything usually goes very quickly and smoothly with them. Which is not something I can say for everywhere.
